    I was surprised that Max Demian's post succinctly getting to the heart of the "boys in the Guides" problem was rejected as off topic!

    Though it is worth noting that adult trans woman supervisors could also supervise the girls changing under the old rules.

    Would this be his comment: "I would assume it's to prevent boys from
    looking at girls' cunts. BICBW".

    I would have allowed it, but opinions may differ.

    I think many parents, especially fathers, have a terror that boys (we
    know what boys are like) will get a sight of their young daughter's
    private parts and be inflamed with lust. Protect the girls from that at
    all costs.

    Far from "getting to the heart of the problem", it made no sense at all
    as a response to the post it was a follow-up to. If he wanted to blurt
    random obscenities into the group he should at the very least find a
    point at which they make some kind of sense rather than just shouting
    at passing traffic.

    Vulgar words, but obscene?? I refer to you the "Lady Chatterley" decision.

    There was a song released by several male singers (including Anthony
    Newley and Perry Como) in the 1960s.

    Lyrics

    rCa When you're the father of boys,
    How you worry,
    But when you're the father of girls,
    You do more than that,
    You Pray!

    rCa From the time of diaper and pin,
    'Till the time they cry, "don't come in!"
    'Till the time you gown them in white,
    And give them away,
    You worry, you worry,
    You worry, night and day!

    rCa When she's a plain little girl,
    How you worry,
    But when she's a beautiful thing,
    You do more than that,
    You pray!

    rCa Boys come 'round when they want a date,
    Girls may only stay home and wait,
    When she's out you sit up all night,
    With her first baby toy!

    rCa You trust her, but worry,
    'Cause you were once a boy!

    rCa When you're the father of boys,
    How you worry,
    But when you're the father of girls,
    You do more than that,
    You pray!
