A student pilot successfully landed a plane by herself after her instructor jumped to his death mid-flight.

She said her instructor told her “You know what to do” before leaping from the aircraft.

The article shows a picture of the instructor next to an image of a small single engine cessna.

Comment reads: You could literally land a plane by yourself after your instructor jumps to his death mid-flight and they’d still use a picture of a man.

    It doesn’t. And I have no idea why they argue that way. I just said that I didn’t read the pronouns as being gender specific. This might be to do with my nationality and hence warped perception of language.

    I just said that I didn’t read it as being gendered at first. And get attacked for it.

      I have to admit I was a little confused when you first replied to me as well. Probably just a language barrier thing.

        What I tried to say was that you don’t need to read the pronouns in the post to understand the meaning. Hence I didn’t. I don’t know how to explain this in plain English.
