They have opened their mouths and proved their ignorance to all.

Aviator is a gendered word and refers to a male.

An aviatrix is the equivalent term referring to a female.

Our most famous aviatrix was Nancy Bird Walton.
A great Australian deserving our overwhelming respect.

Also, an Airman, is not necessarily an air pilot but
an aviator certainly is.

"They call them Aviators in the Navy. They believe
they're better than pilots." (The Right Stuff).

That’s true - good point

women don’t seem to mind being labeled Aviator though

probably any word with men or man in is the problem

that, I can understand
