In a co-ed 6's game, should women block?

Sure, most times we don't have the height or the vertical that you gentlemen do, but does that mean we shouldn't go up at all?

Personally, I think it's easier to have the chick go up every time no matter what, at least she's setting the block consistantly rather than letting the middle run around, jumping manically like a rabid gorilla.

I was on a team that didn't let me block at all, I had to pull back and cover the tip EVERY TIME. I was on another team that allowed me to go up and I ended up being one of the strongest blockers.

Does it depend on the player?

What do you guys think?
