In the 21st century where the world has advanced in phenomenal ways, there are still some who consider women to be the weaker gender.
Unfortunately, we saw a similar mindset after a picture of two Pakistan International Airline (PIA) female pilots went viral.
The national carrier took it to Twitter to praise their brave Captain, Maryam Masood and First Officer, Shumaila Mazhar, for a successful flight to Gilgit from Islamabad, the post read;
The flight to Gilgit is very challenging and requires a lot of precision and technique. Our dynamic duo, Captain Maryam Masood and First Officer Shumaila Mazhar make it look so easy as they fly through the mountains celebrating the beauty of our northern areas! Way to go!!

The original photo has been shared over 800 times on social media!
While the girls were applauded and praised for their achievement by many all across social media…
My daughter of 8, wants to become a pilot too. Long way to go but she will definitely make it one day.
What a proud moment for the captain, first officer and their parents.#PIA— Asif Pasha (@Asif_Pasha_) June 21, 2018

There were those who mocked and made fun of the ladies!
Girls have always proven, and are always proving that it does not matter what your gender you may be, as long as you are passionate, strong-willed and determined to make your dreams come true, it will happen!
We have reached out to both Maryam and Shumaila to share their flight experience.
