“Extremely" just wasn't really necessary. They're assertive. Maybe even "very" assertive.

Next thing you know, they'll be running for President!

Maybe GS and BS could work together to create the option for co-ed troops? I'm not going to suggest that someone start an entirely new organization, because that's just too difficult, but these two established programs could create something that meets in the middle. It would mean that those who are more suited for…

The girls could probably form their own den within a Boy Scout troop. That way, they won't be encroaching on anyone's leadership opportunities. They would have opportunities to participate in things like the Derby with the rest of the troop, but they could also do separate activities - I can see parents freaking out…

But cooties!

They're never going to find husbands if they act like that. So sad.

I'm just imagining myself standing in the birth control aisle and having no idea what to choose. I have enough trouble picking an allergy pill. Not because I'm a hysterical woman, but because it's really hard to tell what the differences are. I know Claritin and Allegra are different, but I have no idea which one…

I can see why the girls, who probably don't know about the Boy Scouts' ideology, would want to join. But I would much rather support the Girl Scouts.

The Girl Scouts are generally a much more progressive organization, so I'm all for everyone joining. I'd rather support the organization that didn't have to be dragged kicking and screaming into acknowledging that gay people exist. Plus the Girl Scouts get cookies.

I am all for more cookies.

The article goes into that multiple times.

For those who may not be able to afford this device, Container Store sells these little personal alarms that could be good for the purpose of scaring someone off. It's obviously missing the most important feature of the Athena, but it might catch someone's attention or give you a chance to run.

And yet she's fine with her kids possibly infecting kids who can't get vaccines with various diseases.

What about the hair? What substance could possibly replicate it?

If only they could just... let it go.
