[HISTORIC] Boy Scouts to admit girls into their ranks
Tactical Nuke:
if they dissolved the girl scouts I wouldn't be as against this as I am, but they don't seem too intent on that
doesn't matter anyway, the boy scouts have been falling apart for years now and now everyone who isn't a leftist is vowing online to take their kids out of the boy scouts
so much for that respectable organization
Conan:
idk man it sounds like you’re trying to backpedal with the whole “this respectible organization was already failing so whatever”
reminds me of master matthew, but he was more blatantly stupid with his posts. what about this whole policy change is rubbing you the wrong way?
Tactical Nuke:
it's suggesting that boys can't have their own group, but girls can
I mean think about this; no one who advocated for this (people did advocate for this) ever even advocated the opposite, that boys be allowed into the girl scouts. Anyone who even thought of it did so ironically to push buttons. Imagine the outcry from the media if the girl scouts allowed boys into their ranks instead of vice versa. They wouldn't shut up for months.
I only mentioned that the boy scouts was a "failing organization" because that's what the people pulling out think. You can't blame them either if they constantly cave on things like this.

this is probably the most absurd version of "imagine if it was Y instead of X" ive seen to date
Vigil:
I was in the Boy Scouts for at least 2-3 years. I'm glad to see this change, I think everyone can learn a lot of good skills and have a lot of fun. Making it co-ed is a good step imo. I don't know much about the Girl Scouts, but if what people have said here is true, there's many more skills to be learned in Boy Scouts (or just Scouts of America now).
