Re: Girls are still undermined?
We haven't really had many girls (1) in recent years but we have 5 now. Recently, I handed a girl a drill and a guy a vacuum. So, I'd say we keep things pretty fair. For example right now we have a couple guys working on a new logo and a couple girls being introduced to electronics and programming.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and last year our only girl did a good amount of machining.

I don't think there's anything girls can't or shouldn't do. I think some of the heavy lifting may be a little more challenging though due to males usually being more muscular than females. (nothing I can do about that really).
