I had this disucussion with a few of my team members just last week.

At least to me, it has never been an issue on our team. Everyone (both boys and girls) will stand their ground whether the debate is about the robot or about spirit. Maybe we just have a really confident group of girls.

We've almost had the opposite occurance at times. The girls taking the robot from the boys. But other times it will be the veterans overshadowing the rookies, or the outgoing kid not noticing that the quiet kid has something to say. To me it seems to be a matter of attitude and personality more than gender.
