Re: Girls on Teams

on 1525, there are 3 girls, one on electrical / chairmans, one who floats and helps wherever needed, and me. I'm big on pictures, team spirit, and i learned the mill this year. This is my third year, and the guy on my team are still quite sexist. I took a welding class this summer to try and prove *yes i felt it necessary to prove myself* that I could help out, but the guys won't let me weld. Our welder is self taught and truthfully, is not perfect. I respect him and I believe that he does a good job, but he constantly puts me down and I'm quite sick of it. But I deal and I just try to help anyone that needs it.

I was wondering if you had any suggestions on getting rid of the sexism because our mentor doesn't seem very motivated to do anythying about it.
