If it comes off as COMPLETELY trying to rebel or demolish the former idea, I apologize. If you need clarification, read the comment posted by my dear friend ArmoredFairy698. Since the original post was that the all-girls team was hearing of girls as cheerleaders and non-relavant positions to robotics--hence the word STEREOTYPE--I was slightly taken-a-back at the statement. I am sorry that my message was not clear enough, offended you, gave you a misudnerstanding or played off your pet-peeve. That was not my intention. Again, I urge you to read ArmoredFairy698's post. It may be clearer for you--since it is worded differently. I, again, apologize.

No need to apologize at all. Really. It was a simple miscommunication on both our parts.
