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

There's something to be said for simply ignoring gender and treating it like it does not matter, but the problem is, we do not live or work in a vacuum. People come (or more importantly, don't come) to FIRST with gender awareness already and the field of engineering in particular has a gender imbalance issue.
