        What is left of male spaces? Demi can't think of any. Military, gone. Male clubs, gone. Scouts, gone.

          No. Having been a scoutmaster, I can tell you the problem is dwindling enrollment, especially in urban and suburban settings. The BSA is just trying to increase their market, and they didn't think tapping the animal kingdom was a good idea. That leave girls, or adults.

          This is just an extension of an existing move. Years ago they spun off the Scout Venturing program, which was open to older scouts (14-20, if I remember well) and is a coed program. In the the main scouting program, scouts age out on their 18th birthday.

            I think the Knights of Columbus is still recruiting. You can get a free wheelchair or walker if you join...

            But male-only clubs do seem to be increasingly insolvent.

                  Well - you can always become a priest. That's still a male-only club.

                            I'm fairly certain that, like other liberalizing moves, this one is only going to hasten its decline. The Mormons have already pulled out, and they were a significant presence.

                              Yes they were - but I can tell you that a lot of Scoutmasters resented the strangling hold the Mormon group had on what we could and could not teach the scouts. I suspect all of this will indeed spell the end of the scouts. They have a reputation of being "too right" for the left, and now they will be "too left" for the right. I suspect that will spell their end. It's too bad. I know we did a lot of good for the scouts we served in our town - and the ones who made Life or Eagle prove to be some of the most innovative and self-starting of the group. Half of them gave up their Eagle Scout status status in protest of the Scout's position on homosexuals.

                                Only within certain denominations.

                                A Roman Catholic church ordained a 70-year-old woman a priest in Louisville, Kentucky.

                                About 150 women from all over the world have been ordained by the Roman Catholic Church even though the church bans them from becoming priests.

                                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
