Are all girl FIRST team counterproductive to the philosophy of FIRST?

At the GKC regional this year there was an all-male team. It was a all male military school. I'm sure there are many more all-male teams in situations like that too.

Although, I do support single gender teams especially within Girl Scouts because they are focusing on introducing the girls into technology. There are single gender schools that also have teams. Do you think they should combine with another single gender teams of the opposite sex?
