Firstly, DZ is aware that in the UK we have a long way to go before we achieve equality of employment between the sexes. But there is no doubt that some progress has been made. Within medicine, half of all medical students are now women, and all hospital specialities now have women consultants, even including such bastions of male exclusivity as orthopaedic surgery.
Outside medicine similar progress is being made with more female engineers, barristers, soldiers etc. DZ was recently on a flight where both airline pilots were women, and it occurred to him that the use of the word "cockpit" to describe the flight deck is becoming inaccurate.
His wandering mind wondered if the term "clitpit" would be more appropriate. Using this word would also prevent hijackings, since most hijackers are men, and the clitpit is not something they would be able to find.
