On International Girls’ Day, the Boy Scouts of America made the awful announcement that they will be allowing girls to join its organization.

They will also have the possibility of rising through the ranks and becoming an Eagle Scout, which is the highest achievement attainable in the organization.

Although many people are excited about the decision, I believe that we’ve taken this equality business way too far.

This is just ridiculous.

The Boy Scouts already possess a female equivalent.

It’s called the Girl Scouts.

If women feel that they need to learn the exact same things that are taught in the Boy Scouts, then I encourage them to write to the president of the Girl Scouts, Kathy Hopinkah Hannan, and tell her what you’d like to see incorporated.

Contrary to popular belief, girls can’t do nor need to do everything guys can do.

It’s OK to have some separation.

It won’t kill us to have a boy’s club as well as a girl one.

Why in the world do they need to change something that has worked for 150 years just because a handful of girls feel slighted?

This decision was not thoroughly thought through.

And as much as I hate to say it, this would not even be a remote possibility if the genders were reversed.

All the women who are advocating this nonsense would be ranting and raving about how guys want everything and how we as women can’t have anything that belongs to just us.

Then you’d have the women who reside on the other side of the spectrum, cheering on the guys who want to embrace their feminine side.

The whole thing just sounds like a bad nightmare.

Listen, I’m all for women wanting to learn “guy things.”

I firmly believe that a woman should know how to read a map and build a fire.

Women should also know how to change oil in a car, as well as change a tire.

These are all things that my dad instilled in me at a young age.

I’m grateful that I can check my oil and change a flat without waiting for a man to help me.

However, all the things that I just mentioned are indeed already part of the girl scouts.

You don’t need to belong in the Boy Scouts to learn the outdoorsy elements of life, because they are already taught in the Girl Scouts.

I don’t understand how this has even become an issue.

I never deigned to be a Girl Scout.

I never really saw the appeal, but I did look into them recently, and I couldn’t find much difference between the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts.

In addition to that, a co-ed group called the Venture Scouts already exists.

Why not just expand that?

I kept racking my brain trying to figure out what would make a girl want to be a Boy Scout, and the only thing I could think of is becoming an Eagle Scout.

Now, for those of you who don’t know, the Girl Scouts organization also has an equivalent called the Gold Award, but it isn’t as widely known.

If that’s what this is about, then why don’t they just break out their PR skills and make the Gold Award as widely known as the Eagle Scout and call it a day?

I can only think of a handful of positive outcomes for the Boy Scouts making this change.

However, I could write a 30-page paper of the negative outcomes.

So much will need to change, and I just don’t think that it makes any sense.

As women, we don’t need to be so demanding all the time.

It’s okay to let guys have their own thing.
