How it works:

Extraordinary things can happen when we ask extraordinary questions. This blog asks extraordinary questions in the form of outlandish statements. Sometimes I believe what I've posted. Sometimes I don't. This is not a blog about my political, religious, or philosophical views. It's a blog about thinking in different boxes or outside of the box altogether. Have fun. BRING FRIENDS!

Premise the 42nd- Genderless Scouts

Premise: The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts should be conglomerated and made simply "Scouts", without separating girls and boys. There is no value in society, other than teaching archaic gender role placement, in separating boys from girls. Boys don't become better men for learning "man things" and girls don't become better women by learning "woman things". We need to stop poisoning our kids with gender roles, and just let them be who they are. 


Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

GO!
