Girls Joining Boy Scouts. Is this a feminist move to suppress young men and boys?

adamhovey1988:

My friend Jamie was in something called Indian guides (which, some people find racist, he is Eastern Band Cherokee, so obviously he doesn’t take issue with it),

I was in Indian Guides as a boy; it was a a Fathers and Sons organization. Indian Princesses was added a couple of years later, in time for my sider.

It was extremely respectful with what it borrowed.

Since then, they’ve apparently become “Y Guides” or some such.

Much of what I actually know about real Indians comes from t.

I was in Camp Fire Girls as a kid and we also heavily used the Indian theme. As a card-carrying Cherokee with geographically distant tribal ties, it never bothered me, my mom, or my very Cherokee grandfather. But times have changed and we now appropriately look at these things through different eyes.
