None of us can know how females feel about the subject.

In addition, it's somewhat insulting to all the women in FIRST to insinuate that they joined just because of the guys.

Your post takes his post to an extreme. He said /SOME/, not all. Please don't misrepresent what other posters have said.

I agree with a lot of what has been said here. I'm not sure how it would increase the girls' interest in robotics to have all girl teams. If you have 5,000 girls interested in this activity, I don't understand why creating all-girl teams would make more girls want to join.

I'm not maligning the OP here, I'm just adding my personal opinion that it's probably not going to help.
