And people do get stressed to not look dumb/not mess up in front of the opposite sex all the time

And people don't get stressed to not look dumb/not mess up in front of the same sex?

and yet you missed me recanting the post that started this.

Or the Girl Scouts just plowing themselves into the ground faster than the stock market in 1929.

If they do, it's their own fault, since the mixed gender Scouts and girls only Guides happily coexist in the UK.

And you have utterly and completely failed to respond to the point in any way, yet again.

I thought it was pretty clear. The Exploring Scouts aren't really scouting. But Sea and Venture are, and I'm quite fine with keeping them separate because not everyone wants to do Sea scouts, or venture.

Yeah, no, that wasn't the point at all. Try reading my posts.

Seeing as the BSA's board of directors unanimously voted to do this then they probably don't necessarily want to have a gender specific scouts.

why do girl scouts exist then

Because the boy scouts didn't accept girls in 1912.

And what the fuck changes because there happen to be people that aren't the same gender as you around?

Well, we've seen the effect on girls in schools - all girl schools tend to be more gender conforming than mixed gender schools. At least, that's what current evidence suggests.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar effect in the girl scouts.

Boys are contagious?

There's a gay joke here somewhere

Possibly.

Here since you can't seem to understand: I don't give a flying donkey fuck. I don't care if it's redundant, it works. Redundancy works pretty nice and happens to give us a lot of choice.

Maybe you should read mine sometime?

I'm still intrigued that you think people don't get stressed by being social with people of the same sex like they could potentially get stressed by being social with the opposite sex.

I think the British guy(I'm guessing based on posts) has the right idea. The BSA and GSA have coesited for a century.

Their cookie racketeering cannot sustain them forever.

Which guy?

by **Roguiguez** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 9:12 am

It's honestly their decision. I just think the boy and girl scouts should merge.

Cookie rackateering sounds about right. All the GSA does is sell cookies.

Masculinity is contagious. You will be assimilated.

Things change. Women can vote now, gays can get married, girls can join the boy scouts.

But boys still can't join the girl scouts.

Not that I know why they would want to.

Petition to ban girls from joining the girl scouts. Consider it an act of good will.

Oh god no. I'm perfectly fine with letting girls in the BSA but not the GSA and BSA merging. For one the GSA is infected with radfems and other kooky shit

All I can say is the camp outs would have been a lot more interesting if there were girls there. Just Sayin'.
