Mormons were all outraged at the BSA allowing for gay leaders. They don't want gay leaders being alone with their precious young men.
How come there is no outrage about heterosexual leaders being alone with their precious young women? Alone with them, and questioning them about their sex lives, no less. Where's the outrage?
Read this essay in The Exponent:
http://www.the-exponent.com/where-is-the-outrage/Concluding paragraphs:
There is a big conversation to be had about keeping our young men safe and I can understand parents are concerned about the perceived threat to their sons. What I can’t understand is the lack of outrage about the threat of abuse right under our noses. As the Newsroom releases statements about our young men with the overtone that it is for their safety, I wonder, “where are the releases about protecting our girls?” “Where is the acknowledgement that this abuse happens every. single. week under the guise of righteousness?” “Why are the same people who are concerned about the possibility of the abuse of their sons so dismissive when I mention the very real abuse of their daughters?” “Why am I told that I should have known better and taken measures to protect my young, innocent self?” “Why does no one seem to notice or even care about our girls?”
I wish my answers didn’t always dead end with the fear that we don’t notice or care about our girls because we don’t actually notice or care about our girls.
