Ah yes. That one month out of the Year where we are reminded we really don't matter because the only time people mention this month is jokes/memes/"what-about-me" online.
My sister said without shame that dudes need their own spaces. They need their own places where they can go where it's just men only. That she doesn't understand why a lot of those clubs and bars went away. Because it's obvious that sometimes dudes just need to hang out with other dudes.

I'm proud of myself over how calmly and rationally I explained to her those places used to exist until a certain group of people decided that it was not fair. And had most of those places either shut down or become all inclusive. Allowing everybody to be there. Not just dudes
And she's not young and doe eyed. She's in her early 40s. So she knows very well that those places used to exist. And the process of how they were attacked and shut down or forced to change
Boy scouts are now the scouts and that's one less place for young boys to meet good male role models. We see the pattern repeating. Most school teachers are women, especially early in childhood.
There's just a huge void for young boys to find good male role models and learn what it means to be a gentleman and someone who can contribute to society.
People say it was necessary or they would have had to shut their doors. But if anything that just shows how much boy scouts have been ignored for decades. It just emphasizes the overall problem
