Yes, and before 1920, women were frequently allowed into statehouses. They just didn't get to vote. Turns out that was a pretty important distinction.
- EpicEng 8y agoYes, those two things are pretty much on the same level. The OP was speaking in regards to how boys act around girls, not making a defense of any policy.
- CobrastanJorji 8y ago"Admitting girls has been a non-issue" is very much a policy statement. It implies that Boy Scouts weren't doing anything wrong before because women have always been a part of it. There was never a problem. Allowing girls to formally join is just the icing on the cake. But there WAS an issue before. Despite the fact that Johnny's sister was allowed to watch the knot-tying lessons, refusing to give her a uniform and a badge was very much an issue to her, and saying it wasn't should be called out.
