Anyone else think Girls on the Run is a rip-off?

Why this specific focus on girls? All the studies I read say that boys have the most health issues growing up and fall the most behind in schools, but the only segregated programs I see cater to girls instead. Not that it is a bad program, but I don't see the need for all this segregation or at least would like to see a balance. Where are the classes or opportunities to help boys get interested in teaching, learn to cook, learning drawing, dancing, etc.?

Can you take your misogyny elsewhere?

We get it, you yearn for the not so distant past when girls weren’t allowed in higher education. You’ll find solidarity in Truth Social, please leave the rest of us alone.

This original post was so old and I didn’t go back to see how it was resurrected but as a boy and girl mom I would love to see programs encouraging all

The real problem with GOTR is it’s not inclusive.

Just the opposite:

- it specifically and intentionally excludes boys based solely on their gender.

Truth is girls have specific needs and issues body image, being able to manage social situations, and general health and well-being. GOTR is a fantastic organization that touches on all of this.

My very unathletic daughter had a great time with the program. We are unable to participate this time but I credit GOTR with getting her excited about exercising and eating right.

Oh,so the Boy Scouts had to allow girls in, but boys can’t join GOTR?

Boy Scouts disnt have to let girls in- they did that to bolster their numbers.
