how cool would it be if Girl Scouts got the same level of respect and recognition as the Boy Scouts do how wild a thought
How cool would it be if Girl and Boy Scouts learned the same types and levels of useful skills instead adhereing to strict gender stereotypes?
would like to add to your addition:
By saying “teach them both the same skills” that doesn’t just mean “teach girls to light shit on fire and survive in the wilderness!” It also means “teach boys to sew! Teach boys how to gently educate young children of all genders! Teach boys more collaborative activities in which there is no one with more power than anyone else!”
Listen, in the Girl Scouts we were talking about inequality. We talk about body image. We talk about sexual assault, discrimination of all kinds, we talk about how the media twists our thoughts and feelings about the world and about ourselves. Let the Boy Scouts do the same. Let them talk about their feelings. Let them know when it is good to step up and be a leader, and when it is good to not let anyone be a singular leader.
And yeah, teach more girls to light shit on fire and survive in the wilderness.
