For it appears that the planned lunch discussions are biased against males.

Replacing one bias with another does not solve the gender equality issue.

And I believe you have spelled my name wrong. It is not "Mr Anonymous, it is The Swaggy P.

The key word in that panel name is unintentional. I'm not going to claim #woke status, but I know I've said stuff in the past with zero malice that now would have me eating my words.

So no, you shouldn't catch that plane to the salt mines as a boy. But as someone apparently not keen on giving your thought process the three-foot-drop test, maybe it's worth checking Priceline.

I've been on an unintentionally all-girls team--4901's pre-rookie appearance at SCRIW was with all of three girls, literally just enough for a drive team. When a team doesn't look like the community it's based in (on any dimension, not just gender), it's important to ask why that is so*. Good on Indiana for having enough demand to make this a thing.

*I'm not saying you should force a team to look like the community it's based in--but you should ask why it isn't and make a fair attempt.
