My sister and I were in girl scouts and boy scouts respectively. She sold cookies and I sold popcorn. We both went door to door. We both did... okay sales going door to door. My mother was the head waitress at the most popular diner in town and sold more popcorn and cookies on our behalves than anyone else in our respective troops.

Neither one of us got to go on jack shit because, well, my mother was a waitress and had to take care of three kids, and she couldn't afford to send us away for a week of camp despite of the sales she generated for the troops her children were in.

We both had opportunities to learn camping, survival, basic safety, first aid and responsibility. Unfortunately we didn't have the money to make that opportunity a reality. I'm not really sure what the point of this story is, to be honest, but I know that the fact that people like girl scouts cookies a lot more than boy scouts shitty popcorn doesn't have a single fuck all to do with the opportunities presented to each gender. Maybe if you had been more involved with your daughter's scouting activities, you'd have a less ridiculously sexist view of what opportunities were available to girl scouts? Because, as the younger brother of a girl scout and the son of a single mother, I got tohad to go to every single one of her meetings, and I can tell you, she had all the opportunities to learn the things you seem to treasure that I did.
