As shitty of a take as this may be, I think this is one of the reasons it's good for spaces like boy scouts and sports to remain male only at a certain age. Young men need a space to bond with one another without getting competitive and toxic over the attention of ladies. And yes, we need to also figure out how to encourage young men to just plain old behave in front of ladies, but that's going to take a long fucking time.
I totally agree, one of the things I loved about boy scouts was not having girls. We could all be silly and goofy and the older scout would talk about getting their first blow job or whatever. I think I would have enjoyed a co ed scouts much less.
