[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree about schools being biased against boys, but when it comes to youth sports, boys definitely have the advantage and it's pretty petty to be pissed about Girls on the Run.[/quote]

No, you. If you had a boy who needed confidence building and found such a program exists but your child was purposely excluded because he's a male, you'd be pretty disappointed too. Imagine "straights on the run" or "Caucasians on the run" being an acceptable program. 
It's exclusion based on a protected class: sex. They shouldn't allow that. Especially when schools push it/host it/advertise it.[/quote]

DP. There is a confidence building running program for boys as has been pointed out. If you think it's important and needed, but your school doesn't have it, you should step up and lead it. If your only interest is in tearing down things for girls, then feel free to keep whining about it on the internet.[/quote]

Again. They aren't the same. You're wrong.[/quote]

I doubt they're precisely the same, but the motivation behind Let Me Run was to offer an equivalent program, the founder was even a Girls on the Run coach before starting Let Me Run. [/quote]
