Quote:Don’t assume their gender anymore.

In an effort to be more inclusive, the Boy Scouts of America are dropping the “Boy” in their name altogether. Last October, the Boy Scouts unanimously voted to begin allowing girls to join, starting in 2018. And today, the program announced they’re rebranding as the Scouts BSA.

“We wanted to land on something that evokes the past but also conveys the inclusive nature of the program going forward,” Boy Scouts Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh said. “We’re trying to find the right way to say we’re here for both young men and young women.”

The change will take effect in February 2018, around the same time girls will be allowed to start joining the Scouts.

My son plays lacrosse and he has a girl on his team. She is nice, funny, tough, and not afraid. The boys like her and the word on the street is that she's plenty good for the girl's lacrosse teams.

But she gets smoked, absolutely demolished, on the field by the boys. Outside of this one kid who is certified awful and really should take up the drums or something less athletic, she is completely outclassed. From what I can tell, the only loser in this whole experiment is her, unfortunately (in the sense of she's not enjoying the game anymore.) The boys just go about their game, with her in tow.

In this asinine demands that all things are equal and this strange denial of gender inequalities in body and spirit, this young girl is dispirited, removed from her peer group of other girls playing her sport, and while not a laughing stock in the least, simply someone who is not going to excel in this demand for girls to be part of boy things.

It's the death knell for the Girls Scouts of America and that means no more girl scout cookies.

Feminism has destroyed both men and women. You want to know why so many women today are trashy, have tattoo's, look and dress like pigs, and are proud of it ?

Go try to find a nice girl today that doesn't look like trailer trash. Quite hard to find. And what has it done ? It has prevented the men that do need to start a family from setting down and starting said family b/c unless they can find a respectable woman, they'll choose to be alone their entire lives.

Go look at the first 5 minutes of Idiocracy. That's what feminism got us.

It defined deviancy down.

What's doubly bad is the impact on Girl Scouts.
