That's not why she died. She died because she was incompetent. She was a bad pilot and after a crash the man that was the radio expert quit. She didn't know how to work the radios and broadcasted to listen on a channel that her radio couldn't use, she didn't know how to use the trailing antenna that could have saved them so she had it removed, etc...
This. If she knew how to use her equipment and bothered to learn Morse Code, the best fail-safe of the time, she would have probably been fine. Instead she made a heap of stupid mistakes that cost her life.
Have no idea about this stuff, wheres more information like this found?
Others have already pointed out that her distress calls were most certainly not ignored. But even if it were true that others did casually allow her to die, their disregard for her life wouldn't have been because she was a woman. Her navigator, Fred Noonan, was a man on board and also suffered the same fate as her. Inventing a sexist conspiracy over an unfortunate tragedy accomplishes nothing productive.
Never thought i would see someone opposing circle jerking bashing on men and being upvoted for it on Lemmy.
Its nice.
Literally never learned he existed, another man erased from history.
It happens a lot to guys who are near women who shine and are memorable, Marie Curie's husband, Pierre Curie, was more than just her husband he helped with the radioactivity research and they both died because of it. That said how many women have been erased in similar situations like that of Rosalind Franklin being Upstaged by Francis Crick. In short Academia needs to be better about recognition and change the incentive structure that makes for some forcing their names into papers they had nothing to do with besides proximity.
Not much of a real man if he's second in command to a woman is he?? 🤣 /s
Stop posting censored shit on the internet.
fr. what the fuck is the deal?
It's ironic that the same reason that Amelia Earhart apparently died, is what causes people to want to censor themselves.
Amelia Earhart fucking ✨died✨
Whoa! She did? So that's what happened...
No wonder she hasn't answered my calls!
I'm with you, but I couldn't find an uncensored version in the 3 seconds I spent looking.
Took 3 seconds to fix
Gotta feed the engagement machine
I love this simultaneously anti- and pro-censorship meme. Gets me every time. laughs my parents' ass off
They were listening on the frequencies she told them to listen on. How could they have known she didn't know which antenna to broadcast on?
To put things in context, this is what they used for communication between a tank and its commanders in WWI:
When the Titanic sunk in 1912, they had a telegraph on board, but no voice radio.
In the 1920s radio took off as a one-way broadcaster to receiver technology, but it still was only rarely used as two-way communications. That only really started for communications between ships in WWII.
So, although she didn't know how to use the radio in her plane, it was mostly because radio communication was a brand new thing. I'm sure what they put in her plane wasn't some off-the-shelf radio that had standard switches, antennas and parts. It was probably cobbled together from various parts and only the truly tech-oriented people understood it.
Doesn't matter why she wasn't able to handle her communication tec, she did not die because of male ignorance. If anything it was her ignorance for not learning how to use her equipment
Her radio wasn't off-the-shelf hardware. But I bet that her plane wasn't either. What she tried to do required much more effort and knowledge than just operating off-the-shelf tools.
What I am trying to say is that she wasn't stupid, she was just not prepared enough for the task.
If anyone is curious here's a fairly exhaustive description of the radio situation for this flight:
Is misinformation okay if it's a shit post?
Only if it's misinformation that's also rage bait
A woman couldn't fail at something, how can we make it a man's fault?
Doesn't matter if the radios worked, they were 60 miles off course, no one was looking there.
Not only that, they weren't near the burmuda triangle!
Why is there splooge on 'died'?
Cause apps like tiktok will prevent your post from being seen for having a scary bad word and now they have everyone trained to self-censor
Because advertisers don’t want their ads associated with negative words. You can say whatever as long as it isn’t against ToS, but if it’s negative it will be buried.
If you play the triangle in the Bermuda triangle everyone who's ever died there comes back to life, but with a catch. All the men have Jenkem filled balls and all the women have smegma filled tits. That's why no one has ever done it, no one wants hundreds of disgusting abominations risen from the dead.
There's one exception to this though, a weird Christian cult in the 1970s believe that when Jesus resurrected and escaped from his tomb he actually walked on water all the way to the Bermuda triangle where he died for realsies. The cult members all made a pilgrimage there to play the triangle to resurrect him again but they all died.
She died from the coconut crabs pulling her apart like an extra cheese pizza.
