I think people should receive positions based solely on merit.
I have noticed that girls seem to have a predisposition to public relations because it's English related and avoid other areas, but that's because they choose to. It's not like the guys that join the team join knowing how to use every tool and how to create an awesome robot while the girls come in clueless. Everyone starts from the same position and they develop in the fields they choose.
If you're not aggressive enough to get the started role in my mind that isn't a good reason. If a guy had the ambition to stick his nose in and learn more/faster/better then a girl he should have the starting position, and vice versa.
Where is Jacob (the Dragons - 1991) anyway? He was all over the original thread.
I'm interested in testing a "Leave the girls at home" proposal at the next team meeting...if you guys don't hear from me in a while, this is my farewell.
