if they merged the groups under the same leadership but kept the distinction between boy scouts and girl scouts I wouldn't mind but they're basically abolishing the "boy" distinction and keeping the girl one |

granted as a white dude it does get slightly annoying to see half of the available scholarships being black or woman only stuff, but i guess i understand the context behind it so im not against it --- Quote from: Tactical Nuke on October 11, 2017, 11:17:00 PM ---if they merged the groups under the same leadership but kept the distinction between boy scouts and girl scouts I wouldn't mind but they're basically abolishing the "boy" distinction and keeping the girl one --- End quote --- why the forget do you care? honestly i can't see a single reason why you should complain apart from that you just like the sound of your own voice |

The "Girl Scouts" should either be opened to males as well (though being a member isn't really as prestigious as the Boy Scouts and IMO I don't think it teaches the same level of values), or the organizations should be combined. The point is also kind of moot, because they're too separate organizations with a similar name. It's a bit like if a boys-only school started allowing girls, and then you point at a totally unrelated girls-only school and say "well they aren't allowing boys in!" It's just not relevant. |
