I saw an airshow awhile back where they had pictures of Amelia Earhart on the advertizements. It was advertized as a regular air show but near the end at the concession stands/awards they had a couple of feminist speakers suddenly appear who spoke of some drive to get more women into flying. They had the majority of podium time drolling out facts like "It's ashame that less than 10% of pilots are women" and how "we" all need to encourage all our girls to learn to fly. After the speeches, some fat matriarch looking white woman who couldn't stand up clapped the loudest with an almost angry clap, audibly breathing as she socked her hands together like the way you punch a catchers mit. She looked like someone's 40ish divorcee mother but a mad one. I had no idea the show was doubling as a feminist set up. The two parked prop planes in front of the lines being shown off had girl names painted on the sides. After the speeches my radar went up and I noticed hardly anyone chatting up the few hot girls there. Some were with their family/group but there were plenty of planes/props to open anyone with chat. It seemed like an awfully white knighty crowd, like standing around a sensitivity trained fire hall or co-ed campus police dept.

If you search 'famous childless women' she's right at the top. Every year on 'Amelia Earhart day' childless older women celebrate in solace. They too will all vanish into nothingness along with their seedlines.

I remember relatives who grew up in flyover conntry during the 40s-50s. The public elementary schools made Earhart out to be a goddess and at the same time, Hitler was demonized to no ends of the Earth. Hirohito wasn't so much demonized but Hitler was the Devil incarnate. This Hitler hate and Amelia love still is evident in a lot of the parents of midwestern boomers.
