Outdoor on the air (POTA, WWFF, COTA ..) QRP.
Today is the international women's day.
#HamRadio is a predominantly male hobby. I'm happy to see the female share steadily rising, though.
We have patriarchal customs in our hobby we need to get rid of. One example is cat calling with the abbreviation "88" ("love and kisses").
Also, a male operator is called "OM" ("old man"), a female operator "YL" ("young lady"). 19th century thinking: The ideal male is established and experienced, the ideal female beautiful.
Even worse: XYL ("wife").
Hab ich das jetzt richtig verstanden?
„Aus Angst vor Wärmepumpen, veganem Essen und dem Gendern haben Menschen CDU gewählt.
Jetzt müssen sie lediglich länger arbeiten, müssen mehr für Lebensmittel sowie Heizkosten bezahlen und dürfen nicht mehr krank sein.“
