If he says he's a boy who likes frilly dresses, tough luck. What a stupid solution on the Girl Scouts' part, to force the boy to declare he's "really" a girl.<br /><br />It's kind of ironic. The old feminist line that playing with dolls and liking to dress up is culturally conditioned falls away when it's a boy who wants to do those things -- then it's inborn and proof that the child is really a girl.Jane the Actuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899849681883954262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-23798107440466445672011-10-28T07:04:14.695-05:002011-10-28T07:04:14.695-05:00You know what, M-A, you're a real peice of wor...You know what, M-A, you're a real peice of work. You made an assertion that I think is wrong; I asked "why?" But you didn't get around to answering; instead, you decided to dig into my life and drag up something that happened when I was at a really difficult place in my life. <br /><br />Maybe you've never worked so hard to develop such fantastic qualifications that hiring managers actually <i>call you on the phone to apologize </i> that they can't hire you because there simply are no jobs to be had, and you're suddenly seeing everything that you've ever worked for go out the window. I have, and it fucking sucks. Is throwing that sort of thing in a person's face something that makes you feel good about yourself? Just because she dared ask for support for your assertions? <br /><br />Well, yeah, you got me. Are you proud of yourself now?

My three sons have had a blast in Boy Scouts. They really do teach them leadership and responsibility and they learn useful outdoor skills. My daughter was in Girl Scouts until she was 13. She never had the opportunity - even at the Girl Scout summer camp - to do the same sorts of things her brothers did. She had fun, but it wasn't the same kind of learning experience my sons have had.<br /> The difference I have noticed is that parents are much more involved in the organizational structure of Boy Scouts. My sense of Girl Scouts is that it is run entirely by the professional organization. That's why it often feels like it's only purpose is to sell cookies. <br /> My daughter's a Boy Scout now (Venture Crew). I wish she could have joined before age 14, though.Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038514318463662024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-58466615567438954852011-10-27T19:20:30.258-05:002011-10-27T19:20:30.258-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-74889692514133153412011-10-27T19:17:19.518-05:002011-10-27T19:17:19.518-05:00Quastor, I should get manners ?!
