LittleRoyal,

I understand your disapproval of young women entering BSoA, and I am in no way going to defend the organization at all. They are entirely reactionary to bad PR and have a track record of problematic behavior as you said. I whole heartily agree that they are doing this for self gain.

However, I do feel like integration of genders is an important issue. Having integrated spaces early on can start teaching children how to function together.
Teach boys about bodily autonomy and consensual touches, to stop sexualizing and respect women as people. To the girls, teach them to speak up when interrupted, to not allow boys to make them feel less. Having them learn these together would better benefit the parties into adulthood don't you think?

Again, I'm incredibly sceptical Boy Scouts is the organization to accomplish this. Girl Scouts does not seem to have integration on their priorities either.

I get that, however sexual assault is still very frequent and happens at schools so clearly that isnt working

At school, university, everywhere I spend lots of time sexualization is very common. So no integrated public school
Clearly isnt the answer
One of the only times Im not being bugged by that is at all or mostly girl places. Otherwise people will grope you if they want to or catcall or make sexist remarks (it happens everywhere, not saying it happens constantly)

Meanwhile girls who dont go to Girl Scouts arent in office, arent in stem jobs (as much)
And on average make less.
Girl Scouts being girl only helps get young women into power (office), be empowered to stand up for themselves, and get into stem jobs and work to closing the pay gap like many women cant do

I-I really needed this~~
Why does everyone think I like girls?
