With respect, I doubt they'd tell you if they didn't like it.
Frankly I don’t mind a unisex youth operation.
Sure. And I attended "co-ed" schools exclusively. OTOH, I've seen all-boys and all-girls schools up close. There's a lot of value in that environment as well. Same with "scouting" type activities. Girls need to be able to be girls, without the distractions. Boys need to be able to be boys, without the distractions. Modernity allows, even encourages, the former but utterly destroys the latter.
I am a "Brother" of an all-male fraternal society. Our brotherly dynamic would be lost if we let women join.
Boys and girls, men and women, are different. Various social trends seek to erase that difference. It is a futile, destructive effort; we can't change human nature.
You’re missing the point.
It’s fine if there are boys only or girls only type places.
My son is in a boys-only Catholic school, after being in Catholic co-Ed school all his life prior. He joined Cubs when it was still actually BOY Scouts.
My mother loved her girls-only schools (same as sons co-Ed now) in HS and college. Absolutely adored them. She was an educator too and was totally supportive of 1-sex schooling, though her whole career was co-Ed.
But there isn’t anything inherently wrong with universal organizations. I do think it’s best to keep them apart for overnight stuff, but other things is not a big deal. You’re afraid boys won’t be able to talk about how they want to screw girls?
The big upset seems to be that it changed tradition, which I cringe about myself. But what is proposed is not bad.
As far as your first reply…I think we can tell if the boys like it. Sometimes, the parents clearly are keeping them there, but sometimes that’s ok too, to an extent. But most are happy with it.
And I still say we need to be consistent. Is it bad or not? Same people complain about homos in BSA as complain about letting girls in. This logic should mean that girls and women being more prominent would protect the boys more, eh? Don’t worry I do both myself at times. As far as homos, yes it needs to be addressed but until you address it at large in society, it won’t be resolved. It’s the cause celebre now, and they’ll never survive fighting it. Maybe if they were smaller and less visible? But still need to watch out for any predators.
Well said.
