Conservatives go crazy over Boy Scouts name change now that girls will be included

Last year the Boy Scouts of America announced the century-old organization would allow girls to join for the first time in history. Today, they announced next year the name of its scouting program will change to Scouts BSA, in honor of the inclusion of girls into its programs. (Contrary to many reports the name of the organization itself will not change and will still be the Boy Scouts of America.) Conservatives are freaking out.

NRA Spokesperson Dana Loesch took a fatalistic tone:

Anti-gay commentator Michelle Malkin ramped up the fatalism to "RIP."

Far right wing pundit Ben Shapiro called it "deeply sad."

1. I hope they are not "vexed" or "kerfluffled."

A lot of people who are complaining about this are quite delighted to teach their daughters how to shoot a rife, catch a fish, etc., so what's the big deal?

3. It's not that

It's that the importance of boys (men) is being lowered- in their eyes.

5. True. Allowing everyone to grow at the same time would be too much to hope for I suppose.

7. To them

boys (men) are special/privileged and don't want to have to share their space with girls!!! If they have to be around girls, why, they would be emasculated! Plus, no "locker room talk"!

13. Maybe we can compromise and call it Boy Skirts. (Ok, bash me. I deserve it!!)

2. Snowflakes.

What about the girls that live in small towns where there are no Girl Scouts, or simply are more comfortable joining in with the boys?

Under those circumstances, would they deny their daughters the right to join Scouts BSA?

4. I'll remember them and their loss in my thoughts and prayers. n/t

6. Anything that vexes Michelle Malkin fills me with joy.

Same for Loesch and Shapiro. It will ever be thus.

9. I never hear from or about Malkin anymore

Is it just a case of the newer models of female conservative pundits are more hateful so she's been abandoned, or is it because she's not blonde?

11. Just goes to show there are STILL things to be thankful for, even in this toxic age. (nt)

8. I twisted balloons for the scouts at a KC Royals game this past weekend

They had reserved one of the reservable areas for an outing, and I was surprised there were a few girls in uniform. I knew it was happening but thought it was a year away for some reason.

Doesn't really make me like the Boy Scouts (or whatever they'll be named) any better. $15 for a normal bag of crappy popcorn versus $4 for a box of cookies? GIRL SCOUTS!!!

10. My daughter hated Girl Scouts, thrived in her Venture Crew (Boy Scouts)

Back in the day the Boy Scouts promoted equality a lot more than her former group.

12. Maybe they can rename the Boy Scouts to the Gender Fluid Scouts.

Or, seriously, just the "Scouts" without any sex or gender designation. That would make the most sense.
