Flossie Arend On Gender Equality |
The reason why we've covered women in air
cargo since 1975 is because once upon a time, the only woman you saw in
aviation was pushing a beverage cart down the aisle of a plane or pictured
half-dressed on the walls of a cargo facility. We have come a long way from the days when women were only allowed subservient jobs under men, and feel it is important to both showcase it and shed a light on the fact that no, things were not always this fair. ![]() To say that gender issues benefit only one gender is an interesting stance to take given the fact that the term ‘gender issues’ only makes sense historically as a term that arose because the ‘fairer sex’ was routinely ignored and passed over for work and other opportunities. Men as a gender have always had the upper hand, held the better positions, been paid more and offered more opportunities. The issue is not that things are no longer that way, because they have improved; it is that people sincerely believe that those old prejudices have passed when all that has happened is it has gone underground. ![]() We are proud of our Women in Air Cargo series and we are proud of the women we showcase. They deserve to have their stories heard as much as anyone else, and we provide a spotlight on them because the story of their struggle ties into the history of women’s struggle as a gender to have a voice and a place in this world. They are an inspiration to all women. Flossie Arend Managing Editor |
