OT rant aargh!
the new season of survivor... a woman scout leader, I'm sorry but how does a
woman teach boys to be men? I guess I've been too conditioned by my son's troop who's attitude is "mom's butt out out and let your son become a man under the leadership of men and boys..." ( and I agree btw) ok, carry on.... |

Maybe they don't need to be taught to be "men," and instead need to be taught to be people? Seriously, by the time kids are old enough to join scouts, they've absorbed plenty of gender-role indoctrination. Do they really need more? If a scout leader knows how to lead and how to do all of the things the scouts need to do, who cares whether it's a male or a female? Actually, now I'm curious. Why *do* you think it matters? PS -- it's survivor. It's a show put on for ratings, not for realism. -- monique My pointless ramblings: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/phorum/index.php?f=6 |

I would be more than willing to lead a troop of teenage females! Hey, I'm a 'people' person. |

Maybe they don't need to be taught to be "men," and instead need to be taught to be people? nope, as a mom of boys I do believe that moms need to step back and men need to step in. Men and women are different. Seriously, by the time kids are old enough to join scouts, they've absorbed plenty of gender-role indoctrination. Do they really need more? If a scout leader knows how to lead and how to do all of the things the scouts need to do, who cares whether it's a male or a female? see above. Actually, now I'm curious. Why *do* you think it matters? Even my sons are laughing about it. the whole thing is stupid TV at it's finest. P. |

How old is/are your son(s)? And what kind of troop is it? Boy scouts? Camping? |

What I want to know is, *why* do you believe that? Or to ask it differently: If men and women are different, why do you think that boys need to learn to be men by watching boys and men? I mean, if they're inherently "man-like," they will be "man-like" with or without social stimuli, right? -- monique My pointless ramblings: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/phorum/index.php?f=6 |
