7. I call bullshit

My son decided he wanted to join Cub Scouts and before long, our whole family was sucked in. If they can get you on board as a committee member, they've got you. I quickly went from that to assistant scoutmaster to freakin' unit commission er (i.e. working on a district basis, including teaching skills to other adults).

Especially in Cub Scouts, they have to gear it toward families to retain members. Families were even encouraged to bring their RV to camp, if that made mums happy. Girls were inevitably included in everything.

If anything, women outnumbered men in leadership roles, and girls have had the opportunity to join as Explorers for AGES.

It only makes sense to let them participate completely--especially as Girl Scouts have really suffered since I was one.

Disgusting to see people fighting so hard to indoctrinate boys into the fear and hatred of women because they're so fucking insecure about their penis size. 🤨
