There's a big difference between "I think eliminating bag day would irreparably damage the FRC experience for a majority of teams" and "Because of your gender, you are likely to be less capable at math and science." One is an unpopular but valid opinion that spars debate, the other is an offensive declaration that directly insults and discourages a large group of the very people we're supposed to be inspiring and building confidence in with this program and on this board.

Please don't make this a bag day thread now. Though that might be an improvement.
