You seem to have a problem with boys and girls playing together.
Why do you think girls and their women scout leaders are incapable of establishing the kind of scouting organization they want?
“Why do you think girls and their women scout leaders are incapable of establishing the kind of scouting organization they want?”
Apparently, many Girl Scouts are perfectly fine with how the organization currently exists.
However, I would have preferred an scout organizations that was more philosophically and oriented like the Boy Scouts with practices and activities which would teach more practical skills.
The Boy Scouts are a great organization and have made a sound decision to permit girls only troops.
However, I understand that some may oppose the Boy Scout’s decision on this matter.
“You seem to have a problem with boys and girls playing together.”
Really? I have a problem?
Boys have a problem, with girls. Boys don’t want to be forced to play with girls, or dance with them, or hold hands, or hold hands while skipping around the playground.
The society we had in the 50s was very livable. There were some things that were women and girls only, some that were men and boys only, and some where men and women mixed.
You talk like I’ve said something extreme, when I’ve only argued for tradition: male spaces, female spaces, and mixed spaces. You have to remember that Western Civilization—before the left ruined it—was the pinnacle of human achievement. Everything about it was better than what we have now, especially the present restriction that limits us to female spaces and mixed spaces.
Males need their spaces, too.
Taking a broader view of the whole thing points me to the question of what’s really the agenda.
When an institution is changed on an existential level like girls joining the Boy Scouts, the probability that it isn’t a natural, organic event becomes significantly higher.
I’m all for freedom to choose lifestyle. But activist groups scheming to change or dismantle the Boy Scouts is vastly different from an example of normal, well intentioned citizens wanting to go camping.
“When an institution is changed on an existential level like girls joining the Boy Scouts, the probability that it isn’t a natural, organic event becomes significantly higher.”
Institutions adapt to changing economic and statistical realities. Currently, while there are more Scouting age boys in the country, there are the fewest number of Boy Scouts in 60 years.
Scouting is in decline and something had to be done.
I was going on about play time when you are just running around playing with little to no supervision or rules and you were free to hang out and play with people of your own choosing. If you have ever been having a beer with your friends at a bar and a lone female shows up you will have a first hand view of how this disrupts the whole atmosphere. Some guys shut up, some guys try to hit on her, some guys start trying to run her off by making crude comments and some guys simply walk away. Totally disrupts any kind of bonding (I hate that word) that may have or been occurring.
“you were free to hang out and play with people of your own choosing.”
For some reason that reminds me of a day, circa 1962, when a bunch of us were playing a pickup football game. That was the first time I remember a girl being invited to play, but the reason was that she had begun to bud, and some of the guys wanted an excuse to touch her.
“If you have ever been having a beer with your friends at a bar and a lone female shows up you will have a first hand view of how this disrupts the whole atmosphere.”
Yeah, that old “brothers before women” thing goes out the window when a woman comes in the door. Women have a civilizing effect on men, and I don’t think you can maintain a civilization without it. The traditional role of women, so degraded by feminist shit goblins, is absolutely essential to all of us. “Wife and mother” is not just a job, it is a sacred vocation, a higher calling.
Any dipwad can run a company, but only wives and mothers can hold civilization together.
“But activist groups scheming to change or dismantle the Boy Scouts is vastly different from an example of normal, well intentioned citizens wanting to go camping.”
Verily, verily.
No, I’m talking about activists who conspire to disrupt the most basic institutions of our nation.
They are stupid, because first and foremost they don’t understand the psychological mechanics of why they find the anti-America agenda so appealing. They have no mental grasp of why they’ve chosen an ideology that only sees the light of day through the darkness of night.
