I agree with you. There are roughly 10 girls on the team this year out of 35... thats pretty good. Of the returning girls, most hold important roles. Some are programmers, mechanical, pneumatics, PR, and the new ones are coming in with lots of interest and enthusiasm. I think the guys on the team do view us as "one of the guys" (or at least me after 4 years of hanging around). I think that the more girls press the issue that they ARE different, they will be viewed as such. Girl or guy, you are a TEAM MEMBER nonetheless, having something valuable to contribute to the team.
