On the other hand, consider an all-girl team that happens
not to do well for whatever reason.
Even with other teams all around doing just as poorly, and even with some of those other teams having no girls present at the competition, I heard the "wrong" sort of comments about the reason for the all-girl team's lack of success at the event. It was one of my least favorite moments of that weekend.
