Why don't they just call it "Scouts" and let all kids in? We'd have a lot less offended.

Because for girls/young women, Scouts/Guides can often be the place where they learn they are not the inferior gender and they can be leaders and can put up tents and can tie knots and don't need a guy to do it. Some of them don't get that at home, but are allowed to be in the Girl Scouts/Guides because it's for girls so must be a girly thing.....

....and I'm really surprised to find myself saying that -because I came to hate it by then end, but I have also been surprised by the level of macho sexism proselytized by women I've encountered since moving here, so I totally get it's value now.

e.g. this pile of shit

Butterflies are for girls

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Don't even know how to respond to something so ridiculous.

I'll be over here no longer interested.
