  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.

    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.

  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.

  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?

  source

  • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    To put things in context, this is what they used for communication between a tank and its commanders in WWI:

    A tank with a pigeon being released from a hatch.

    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.

    source

    • jafra@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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

      source
    • axh@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      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.

      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.

    Uhhhhh, hold on. I need to buy a cruise ship ticket, and bring a triangle! I absolutely want to bring a swarm of human killing zombies to life. Also, I need the cruise ship to be empty besides me, and crew. We need the space to bring all the zombies aboard, and then bring them all to America. Where they’ll be free to kill all the humans.

    Yes. I absolutely DO want this! Booking cruise ship now.

      They aren’t like killer zombies though, literally just people with jenkem balls and smegma tits. You wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from other people unless you had sex with them.

  Men are trash sure; but so is this meme.

  source

  • quips@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No entire group of people is trash. This is the same thinking behind misogyny and racism.

    • Soulg@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Really crazy to see people continuing to defend statements like this in 2026

      source
    • SmoothOperator@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      One could understand “men are trash” as having the meaning “every single man is trash”, which would be in line with racism as you say. Or one could understand it as “the group overall is trash”, meaning any individual member isn’t necessarily trash.

      The latter meaning is in some senses a matter of data - men are extremely overrepresented in e.g. violent crimes.

      Which, again, doesn’t much about the individual man.

      The expression “cheetahs run fast” is true, even if a slow cheetah, for example a wounded cheetah, is still a cheetah. The insistence on saying “not all men” every time someone says “men are trash” is just a new demonstration of the problem.

  Men are the reason Amelia Earhart died?

  source

  • ignotum@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Only if you ignore most of the facts about the situation that got her killed, if i recall correctly the mission was a bit rushed, there were some miscommunication, and for some reason her radio wasn’t able to receive from the ship that she was supposed to meet up with, so the ship could hear her but she couldn’t hear them, and thus she couldn’t locate the ship

    source
