What's so interesting to me is that a community who are all about spreading STEM, a category which strives for innovation, is pushing out inclusion.
You cannot innovate without more people involved, especially people who have different things to offer.

I cannot believe that FRC students will find this thread, read it, and have to feel to way I feel reading this thread.

Disgusted.

I cannot put into words how hurt I am that so many of you are telling women how we feel about being a woman in STEM. Theres a difference between understanding a situation and being in a situation. Please learn the difference.

With that said, thank you to the men and women who are fighting for the women in stem in this thread.

Now lets continue the conversation respectfully. In my opinion, the best person should get the job (whether that be in work or a lead in an FRC team), the goal of getting more women into STEM isn't to give them those positions more easily, it's to get them to the same level as their male counterparts. I am one who does not agree with special treatment of female members and would rather teach them to strive for being the best, interested what other people think.

Please keep your replies respectful.
