The current situation with the Boy Scouts illustrates yet another way the Regressive Left is trying to "fundamentally change" the country, and it's certainly working.
The Regressives have determined that they must dilute and decrease masculinity, which is why we're seeing so many stories where they are actively working to meld the two genders together.
From the Boy Scouts to Target's "Gender Neutral Kid's Collection" to gender-neutral parenting (
Should You Raise a Gender-neutral Baby?), this is certainly a train that won't be stopping until masculinity is marginalized in every possible corner of our society.
If you want to know what people are thinking, just pay attention to what they are saying and doing, So, as usual, I'll provide some supporting material, all written in favor of this movement:

It gives them an opportunity to gain favor in a segment of the voting public.
There's black and white voters.
There's straight and LGBT voters.
There's just about any group that they can divide from the rest of the population by taking a ridiculous stance that favors one group over another.
Democrats seek to divide by taking an insane position intended to favor one group over another group.
Example:
Democrats think bathrooms should be gender neutral, which is a totally insane position, thus it causes people to take sides, and allows them to be on the side of the supposed oppressed that like to feel like a woman but don't have the genitals of one. If you don't agree you're a hateful homophobe.
Democrats support reparations for blacks even though there isn't a black person in America that has been a slave. This allows Democrats to support the oppressed once again and pitting blacks against their own country. If you don't agree you're a racist.
Same thing goes for every group, women, Muslims, Hispanics. Democrats take a ridiculous position which favors one group over another yet they never have to abide by their own position. They not even actually believe in the position they take personally, but it's the position of the DNC and it works for them. If you don't agree you're a misogynistic pig racist.
I think there is definitely the political aspect, the way they're so determined to divide us into little groups for political advantage.
My guess, though, is that it's more organic than that, that it simply falls into the Oppressed/Oppressor template they apply to everything. Once they have identified the "Oppressed", they immediately go into full defense mode for that group, including dropping standards & expectations, spinning, deflecting, lying, (most of all) attacking, whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences. This behavior is at their very core.
Ironically, I'm pro gay rights. But as usual, the Regressives have gone full authoritarian on this, applying it to children, even infants, attacking those who don't call others by their correct "identity", even (as usual) seeking punishments for it. They just HAVE to CONTROL.
These are illiberal leftist authoritarians, and they're well into the process of destroying real liberalism.
