[My thanks to William Gruff for inspiring the change of title.]
From the website of Girlguiding:
Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. Thanks to the dedication and support of 100,000 amazing volunteers, we are active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.
We build girls’ confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good.
I can see no evidence from the website that the organization intends to ever change its name, and start admitting boys and young men.
What about the Scouts, formerly the Boy Scouts, before the organization started admitting girls and young women? Our thanks to David for pointing us to this. From the article:
The Scouting Association has announced that it has elected Ann Limb, 62, a former senior civil servant and teacher, as its first female chair. And she says her priority is to get more girls and young women into the uniform.
“The image of Scouts as being white, middle-class boys in khaki shorts is not encouraging young women to join,” Limb told the Observer.
The daughter of a butcher in Manchester’s tough Moss Side district, Limb said inclusivity for girls was something she had championed all her working life.
“We want to grow the numbers of girls and young women, and scouting has to reflect society. When I was young, there was a certain type of person who went to Brownies or Guides or Scouts. That is changing.”
Hmm. Scouting ‘has to reflect society’, while Guiding… er… doesn’t. Ms Limb’s radical feminist leanings are evident in another extract:
“We want to be a more inclusive movement in a more diverse movement. It’s about growth and it would be nice to see a million Scouts,” Limb said. “The position of young girls and women is such at the moment that unless young boys understand what it’s like to be a young woman then you won’t get them to change their behaviour.”
Ms Limb’s prime motivation in taking on her role couldn’t be clearer – getting young boys to change their behaviour. What a vile ambition. She apparently sees no need for young girls to understand what it’s like to be a young boy, to get them to change their behaviour. No, that would be totally the wrong sort of gender equality. Boys need to be taught early to worship at the altars of Entitlement Princesses.
I was thinking of recommending that boy scouts leave the organization and join The Boys’ Brigade but I see even they admit girls.
What is wrong with women – and feminists in particular – that so many of them have a problem with male-only organizations, clubs etc.? Does it arise from hard-wired anxiety? A need to control and police males?
A final question. Are the leaders of the Scouts out of their cotton-picking minds, appointing Ms Limb to her new role? OK, that’s a rhetorical question.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Why not be honest and just call it girls scouts and do away with boys altogether. oops that’s called the girl guides.
There is nothing left for the boys to benefit from by joining this organisation any more, it is now dead for its original purpose. First the feminists targeted schools for compulsory feminist run indoctrination programs (Yvette Cooper) now its the scouts as a second best option.
There is nothing wrong with the behaviour of the vast majority of boys. The behaviour of feminists on the other hand is totally at odds with civil rational behaviour. The really must stop projecting their ghastliness onto everyone else. The damage they are doing to girls behaviour is just as serious as the damage they are increasingly trying to inflict on boys behaviour.

There is absolutely nothing stopping men from starting an organisation just for boys. There’ll be concerted opposition, and the inevitable sneers and innuendoes, but just as Anglicans who object to female priests can go their own way so can men and boys who object to female scouts. That no one has, as yet, suggests, so far, that all are happy with the radical feminisation of what was once a productive ‘male space’. presumably she was questioned thoroughly at interview by those who appointed her and found to be what they were looking for. Blame the men who appointed her, or the men who appointed the women who appointed her if the latter were the case.
That aside, one might reasonably ask why it is girls have to have two organisations, one exclusively for themselves, and why it is women cannot bear the existence of male only institutions and whine and whine until they are allowed to join, and spoil things.

as this article demostrates,(like most other articles in western press) I want to ask a question;
why is this anti-male movement so strong in the western world,and why not in other parts of the world? I am curios to hear the opinions of the readers here.

I think there are two related reasons . The first is ” the end of history” the end of the Marxist hegemony when the people walked out in the Soviet Empire and the Chinese just stopped believing. There was then a huge vacuum in the left, filled by one of Marxisms offshoots feminism. Now this essentially Marxist creed has a huge advantage, that it easily also fits the general societal impulse to protect and venerate women. An added advantage , seen in the prominence of quotas in politics , boardrooms , universities etc., is that it gives advantages to women already in privileged positions. Cementing privilege in general and in particular for upper middle class women . Thus it draws in youthful radicals , rudderless lefties , already privileged women( often in print or other media ) and can count on the support of gentlemanly society.
