"Funny thing you should mention tha...Hi Brock,<br />"Funny thing you should mention that!!!??!" <br />As you know I'm an "OLD" Skydiver... 'first leap 08MAY1964 (don't do the math, it'll scare you!!) and my rig is packed, reserve in date and my USPA is current!!! The "Gender Issue" in the Sport is one that is easily chronicled!! In the as we call the "Early daze!!" The "Equipment (Mil-Surp-'weighs a ton!!) and technology of the sport was a putoff to the "Fairer sex!!" However over time the advance of TECHNOLOGY made access to the Sport accessible not only to women but to just about anybody who wanted to experience a "Skydive!!" Now with the help of technology about anybody can Skydive ..providing they can still breathe regular!! Back to the Gender issue... Go to any Drop Zone (DZ) and compared to daze gone by there are more WOMEN!! <br />Bottom line when it came to a "Skydive" and I am the "Organizer" my question is "Can you Skydive??" I don't care what "SEX" you are, who "Jomomma is" how many jumps you have, what "Color, nationality or Religion" you are... Can You handle the slot on the dive???? <br />Bottom line in The Sport, It's not the "GENDER" but the "Skill, Gumption, knowledge and mindset" of the individual that makes it!! I have to say that yes in "Daze gone By" the Sport was very "Male Dominated" but today is a different story!! One may sell women short on anything on "Terra Firma" but in the air out of an Airplane,,,the Ladies hold their own!!! And I for one am Glad!!<br />skybill!!!!skybillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386847670843842715noreply@blogger.com
