This seems to be a double standard.

I don't think I can name even one of the girls on the team for the past 4 years at least that has worn a skirt or dress(I am ignoring the business/media group who don't do any work on the robot or in the pit area). The only exception is one of our team captains/operator that would wear a skirt about 3/4 thigh length but she wore leggings as well. When you are at a meeting or competition people seem to have the common sense to wear work clothing, a skirt or a dress isn't real something you work(in the context of being in a shop or pits) in. The thread is really less about shorts specifically and more the lack of full leg protection.
