Cadie 11 Posted January 6, 2018 Are planes female? I take a lot of them as opposed to boats which I know are generally referred to as such. I'd never considered referring to them as "she". Takeoffs seem to suggest otherwise but I'm happy to be corrected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cadie 11 Posted January 6, 2018 I'm going to regret asking for an exegesis aren't I? I'm now assuming power without responsibility, too concerned with cosmetics (easyJet are the worst for this) and other things which will make me nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,441 Posted January 6, 2018 All this talk of planes reminds me (I lie, I saw him on TV last night) of Richard Wyatt, former news presenter from the 70s and 80s. Only 69 now, but arguably done remarkably well to reach that, given that in 1976 a plane crashed into him while presenting a piece to camera! Apparently instead of dying like a normal human, the plane wound up taking more serious damage. Incident's on youtube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar age (68 in January) and walked into a propeller in 1983 losing an arm. Had been a good enough golfer to be runner up in both the Open and the Masters.

Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 6, 2018 Aeroplanes (like ships), carry human souls, keeping them safe from the external environment; therefore they have to be female. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted January 6, 2018 There are boats. There are planes. There are trains. All female. There is no such thing as "trans". That's like a fucktard from, say, Milton Keynes, saying he is American. You may treat him as such, but it does not change the fact he is from Milton Keynes. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
