    This is such a dumb article. A handful of women go on day hikes that sucked.

    Can you imagine if we looked at every pattern of bad behavior in women and blamed it on femininity? Oh, wait, we have and still do to some extent, it’s just now that’s rightly called out as “sexist as fuck.”

    Still waiting for society to learn you can be sexist towards men too, sadly.

    Well, all I’m going to say is that I’ve been on a few hikes with my ex and it wasn’t me complaining the whole trip.

      The article dives into more nuance. The hypothesis being that it could have something to do with instances where men feel more of a need to be able to “complete” the “objective” of the hike, or may go on hikes which are more demanding than their partner may be ready for, or also that they may be ready for.

      Similarly, one of the experts in the article goes on to say that this they don’t particularly like making it a gender thing, but unfortunately there is some stark correlation

      The term alpine divorce references a book about a murder/suicide/framing plot of a couple going in a mountain holiday. (Check

      So the term implies that it is attempted murder.

    OK ladies and gentlemen. Never leave the house with less than you expect you can survive the night.

    It sucks that these dudes are assholes, just make sure your pack has enough water, a knife, fire, and some shelter. Please.
