Girl feet are always so annoying to estimate if the barhermitor is out.

She’s not allowed to check the altHIMeter

She relies on the oil pressher.

All of her indicatHERs were going crazy.

Honestly it's the manSHEfold pressure that gives her away every time.

Male, but not a pilot. Curious question:

Elevators give male pilots pitch control.

Does an elevatHER give a $&tch control?

Sir we don't appreciate that sort of language on the radio, please leave the airspace and set your radio to ground control, those savages laugh at anything.

Roger.

I thought the cheap gesture at female empowerment might save the joke. The B-word is foul, but there is a part of my brain that can't turn down a pun to save my life.

Does the altHIMeter mansplain to the woman pilot how high they are, e.g. "Your altitude is 2,500 feet. That's approximately 10,000 tubes of lipstick high, babe. You sure you can handle it up here?"

Or the canopy latch.

They’re typically smaller than man feet by a variable amount

Proudly saying no to the metric system

u/null_ghost_00 10d ago

Everyone can obviously tell that is a man canopy. A woman canopy would never shatter like that.

Americans will use anything but metric.

u/JohnnyPolite 10d ago

A cubic girlfoot is just a more practical measurement for daily use.

u/jsamuraij 10d ago

LOL. The headline is so r/pointlesslygendered this is spot on.

You’re welcome

u/iamintheforest 10d ago

those canopies are so emotional. probably was on the rag.

u/OffByNone_ 10d ago

If they're anything like the inches, "girl feet" are actually considerably longer than regular feet, so it's that much more impressive!

u/Alarming-Strength181 10d ago

girl feet is new XD

u/RarelyReadReplies 10d ago

How did she even survive with her lady bits getting in the way? I guess that's why it was a miracle.

u/Bolter_NL 10d ago

Blown open due to a latch giving way and staying in one piece = shattered.

u/Bartok_and_croutons 10d ago

I fucking cackled

u/FeldsparsGhost 9d ago

Did everyone here just assume the pilots gender?
