Why would it need to be?

Very striking, isn’t she?

What waist? Extreme corsetting

Hourglass

Yep. Very young NK

Women did wear pants called Bloomers in the 1890s for athletic activities.

Women would equally have criticised their lack of modesty. Let's face it women criticise women's clothes much more often than men criticise women's clothes.

Good grief. So I get massively downvoted for pointing out that no-one forced those women to go climbing, and that they themselves chose to wear those particular clothes? Look at the woman on the right. See how she's moving? Right foot down, left foot high up? There's no way you can stretch like that with arm and leg, your whole body moving freely, unless you're wearing clothes which, despite their looks, are in fact practical for the activity - not saying it's ideal, but it's clearly practical clothing. And I get downvoted... Why? Was it the remark about the hats, which still strike me as a bit daft.

Stop making c**p up, Nimitz

And men wear full 3 teil suit with a tie, of wool, under which they need long underwear - if under the southern sun. You can say that Bianca Censori is nude because of misogyny.

It's not "misogyny"--it's fashion.

Dresses were not misogyny. Most women would have felt strange wearing anything else.

Dresses don't put you in danger. Dresses are badass. You're the misogynist.

Mmm. They put their lives in danger by choice, and chose to wear those clothes - no-one forced either choice on them. I strongly suspect that if you were to examine what they were wearing, it would turn out to be a lot more practical than you might think. Except for the hats - why oh why wear those hats?

He does look a bit like Peter Dinkledge, doesn‘t he?

Briane, don't be a twatwaffle.

Wow, thanks for the extra info.

Well, thanks for that. 😃

so technically she still had the licence but just decided flying was too dangerous?

Don't say whilst

it's not so much the tiny waist as it is ill-fitting clothing cinched at the waist...

ouch

Swastika was a good luck charm for aviators back than. Before the n*zi's stole it. Like many runes.

Y'know, "Girllllll. Gorgeous!" is probably the best comment possible. I mean, she's got brains and capabilities but - yeah, "Girllllll. Gorgeous!" and I'd bet she'd be happy to hear you say that. 😁 (no, no, don't, don't post that other emoji you're thinking of, don't! 😋 Damn, too late.)
