People have a bad habit of forgetting that sometimes it is kids that are posting questions or comments on here and tend to go "rabid". Private messages to a student insulting them, by either student or mentor should not happen.
He might have worded it poorly, but his point wasn't lost on a lot of people. Personally, I can see both sides of it. As a mentor I look at it and think "My girls don't need their own event, they'll make all the events theirs if they want." Our team had a leadership that was mostly female. Had nothing to do with anything other than they were the best we had. President, Vice President, Safety, Spirit, Finance, Marketing, Programming all female led on our team.
That said I also know not all teams, schools, organizations work that way and we need to try and remember, even if your team has good about it doesn't mean all teams are.
I do know that, if you had an all boys event last year we would have been hard pressed to put together a complete team.
