Re: Girls are still undermined?
Mmm, I don't know. Alot of the girls we have had on our team recently are the stereotypical girl, where getting her hands dirty is an unforgivable sin. Now don't get me wrong, we have had some girls do wonders in the machine shop, and they are strongly encouraged, perhaps bcause they are so rare. But alot of initial "stereotyping" is done because so many girls are afraid to get their hands dirty. I guess thats where FIRST comes in too. It gives them a chance to learn otherwise remote mechanical skills, and if they choose not to learn then they have other opportunities: Chairmans, animation, and general graphic design.
