Boycotting girl scout cookies from now on on the grounds that they let people like this in.
Okay just to be clear: I’m not really going to boycott girl scouts. From the video (and from the website on the poster) it looks like girl scouts does a ton of things I wholeheartedly support, and it’s only a couple of people with shrivelled little walnut brains, not the whole GSUSA, who don’t like this.
Should’ve put
tags or something I dunno. Also: me boycotting (almost wrote boyscouting) girl scout cookies is silly anyway as we don’t have them in Australia. (well, maybe we do, but I’ve certainly never seen any).
The thing that shits me the most about all of this is the gender imbalance, thanks to the lopsided society we live in.
When the Scout movement was first formed, it was an all boys organisation with the purpose of getting boys and young men together to learn how to work as teams, learn various skills and to provide a social outlet that wasn’t necessarily a sport.
Girl Scouts was formed shortly thereafter with a similar goal, for girls.
Back when the clubs were formed, gender segregation in social activities like this wasn’t even questioned as it was just a natural part of our society.
When Scouts, however, opted to allow female members due to overwhelming pressure from the wider community, the balance was lost.
Here we have two organisations that were designed to teach and promote the camaraderie and bonding of boys and girls, to foster community and teach life skills that were relevant for the times, yet one was stripped of its single-gender status.
For so many years now, girls have been allowed to be a part of the Scout movement, from Joeys and Cub Scouts, right through to Venturers and Rovers. The same cannot be said for boys that want to join the Girl Guide movement.
The Girl Guides fiercely protect their “right” to have only girls in their organisation. Yet if the Scouts were to attempt to do the same, they would be attacked and abused for excluding girls, accused of fostering homosexual feelings or relationships and all manner of other utterly unfair things.
This is a clear example of how unbalanced our society in general is when it comes to bowing to the will of the feminist movement and don’t get me wrong; I’m all for equality, but not when it comes at the complete fucking ignorance or downright exclusion of guys from the arena.
This is also a perfect indication of how society still expects men to take things on the chin, to just accept things as they are and to not truly express how they feel in life.
I was a cub scout and leader of an all male pack when I was younger, my rival pack in the same hall having all boys too. I remember being a little older, finding out that one of the leaders had been kicked out for being gay and that the whole troop had had rumours spread about us all because of it, at the Jamboree no less!
Why is it okay for girls to have all-girl clubs, but not for guys? Why can girls have their own special gyms or scouting clubs or social circles, but when guys do it we’re labelled as sexist or oppressors?
Personally, I’d love to see this lopsided attitude go, but I know that the people that support this kind of viewpoint have their heads so far up their own arses, that they wouldn’t even be able to draw enough breath for a semi-intelligent response.
Fuck this sexist, oppressive, backward bitch and all the right-wing, fundamentalist arseholes that perpetuate the unfair and unnecessary exclusion of people, guys and girls alike, across the globe.
On the 25th of December in 2010, my best mate Dylan and I had finished up an awesome roast lunch that I’d cooked when we were completely taken aback by the conditions outside my house.
I’d seen status updates from friends that live relatively close to me so I decided to go outside and have a look to see what I could see and the above is the result of that explorative step out my front door…
WOMEN, MEDIA AND POLITICS
Please watch this
This should be required viewing for all children before they graduate from primary school into high school.
Boys & Girls alike need to understand their roles in society better, as equals and as peers and supports for each other, not a separate race or species that coexists.
Harmony can be achieved through education and persistence – let’s hope that things like this can help bring that message home.
This made me cry. Fuck it. I’m not going to act like I’m not affected by the death of the individual. Many of you were angry with my last video. Many of you understand what I’m trying to say, but to those who don’t, let me try again. I don’t want fans. Fans are drones that defend someone they idolize no matter what. Fans worship those they ‘love.’ Fans can develop a dependance on the words of a stranger.
I want people to watch me because they are interested in listening to another human beings speak. I want people watching me and forming their OWN opinions. I want smart, strong, bold, and passionate people watching and contributing to the conversation. Fuck being a drone, fuck being weak, fuck being stupid and fuck being a fanboy/girl.
