At the hobby shop I visit occasionally to acquaint myself with how expensive it is to revisit my youth works/worked a young lady who was the shop's acknowledged expert on radio control cars, boats and planes. I overheard one of her young male colleagues deal with a customer who just didn't want to deal with a female in regards to his manly-man (or so he thought) hobby. He finally said to the customer: "You can ask me any question you want, sir. I'll just pass the question to her."
But my favorite example involved real aircraft at an air show. The announcer had just finished introducing a female US Army captain who was demonstrating one of those helicopters that you don't want pissed off at you and decided to talk about the system of numbering airport runways. "So, pilots, you might want to explain to your wives that ... " and on he went to explain rounding off compass headings and chopping off the last digit, and so on. Then, a few minutes later, he comes on the PA again to say that he was sorry, he didn't mean to imply etc. etc. ... and hovering meaningfully in front of the announcer's stand was the lady captain's don't-piss-me-off helicopter. I laughed and laughed ...

I just imagined a sentient, cranky lady helicopter. I wish my army had one.
And on the thought of "helicopters you don't want pissed off at you" the American Apache helicopter is reportedly scarier than the Canadian Griffin helicopter. in case you were curious, as I was.
