Hey Kristin,

Thanks for the comment!

There’s a lot of research that reveals women are more spiritus/religious than men (Ex: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-secular-life/201409/why-are-women-more-religious-men). I would ask if more girls in your group than guys mean that girls feel more valued. It is a possibility, but not a given.

This article was simply a little nudge to make sure it groups aren’t intentionally alienating girls by being male-dominated in leadership. I would love for someone to do some research and give some thoughts to ways we can make guys feel more welcome! (Hint hint nudge nudge!)

What do the rest of y’all think?

We must be providing something for them or they wouldn’t stay.. I think the larger problem is how we welcome the guys. There aren’t many of them anymore.
