I have been wondering how this utter shit show is happening think there must be a massive flaw in Girl Guides recruiting paid staff

Elite social closure. All the leadership positions in these third sector orgs are recruited from a small pool of interconnected pomo-addled nitwits who graduated from elite universities. This is at the root of all the compromised orgs across the board: Amnesty, Oxfam, Save the Children, Guides, the YHA, etc ad infinitum.

These people actually believe in their own virtuousness.

IceRebel it's bloody heartbreaking.

It's not just women's rights going down the toilet, it's organisations, political parties, unions which generations of women have devoted their time, energy, creativity, intelligence and grit to building to make girl's and women's lives better, which are going down the pan with them.

Everything women have carved out has bern deliberately targeted and is now becoming male dominated, putting the wishes of males above the rights of females.

Women are now forced to start our own political parties, unions, new Girl Guides, new programmes and charities, etc, etc. We are forced to shelve all the work of generations of amazing women and start all over again. How many years is that going to take?

There are brilliant responses on that twitter feed.

Thank goodness for some sanity in this debate. I woke up to the news that that Guide Leader had been removed from her post and it was the most depressing thing to hear.

People who do not understand that we shouldn't have male bodied people in female accommodation are a mystery to me. Why on earth can they not see that it is not the trans status that is in question but the MALE status? None of those people would agree to get rid of sex segregation it its entirety.

Phew! Excellent responses on there.

@wheredowebegintocovetclarice I also believe there's a huge gap between the volunteers and the paid staff. They don't seem to represent the vast majority of the on the ground Guiders, it's like they work from an ivory tower.

The rest of us, rarely get a say in policies, or guiding as a whole. Yet we're the ones who run their units whilst holding down full time jobs, who buy materials out of their own pockets to facilitate activities because the budget is low after census. The ones who provide a safe environment for girls to forget their worries, whether it's exam stress, problems at home or whatever else may be on their minds.

It's so frustrating that Guiding is now been portrayed in such a negative light, as unlike Girlguiding HQ the vast majority of us on the ground volunteers have the girl's best interests at heart. However, whilst HQ and other paid members will still have a job, our girls will be the one's who will suffer the most when more units start closing, and their safe spaces have been removed through no fault of their leaders or themselves.

Yes Clarice and probably because those at the top always have an eye on the next job it will be important to them to appear woke should the next career opportunity be at Stonewall etc..

I have been wondering how this utter shit show is happening think there must be a massive flaw in Girl Guides recruiting paid staff, so those at head office on the payroll see it just as a job and simply don't give a fuck about the ethos of the organisation or its founding principles. They probably regularly scan through situations vacant hoping to work somewhere with better coffee and nicer desks. They don't give a fuck about empowering girls like the volunteers, the girls and the parents do. Just watching the clock until the week is over and they can get pissed at the weekend.

It's the only explanation.

Look at the replies though, they're getting a pasting

They posted this today about girls standing up for their rights. The rank hypocrisy stinks.

People who take charge of children have no right to be this blinkered and disconnected. Their left hand is supposed to know what their right is doing, its part of safeguarding.

They're just trolling with this shit. It's embarrassing to watch them. They've no shame at all.
