    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.

          Hey, I’m as white, cis, male, whatever as anyone. No one blames you for any of that shit.

          However way there is no denying that the intersection of those particular identities is also consistent with people who bring a ton of harm to others.

          Quit whining about how bad the majority has it.

            The only thing concerned her is gender, so I don’t see how intersectionality is relevant. And last I checked, women are the majority demographic compared to men.

            Regardless, I’m pointing out a double standard and if you really claim to support equal treatment between genders, you’d do well to support that complaint. But you care more about virtue signaling than standing behind your claimed principles, so you’ll understand if I don’t give your objection much weight.

                You once again, predictably, miss the point. I’ll take your lack of denial of my accusations of you as an admission of guilt. You don’t want equality; you’re just playing the gender politics game. Pathetic.

    Dumping someone at a mountain trail isn’t a “male ego” thing. That’s just abusive and insane.

      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

        Women commit more infanticides but we would talk about that as a collection of cases of mental breakdown or criminal intent, not as an essential female quality. Similarly, this supposed “trend” with vanishingly small numbers should be looked at as a collection of cases of gross neglect or criminal intent, not as an essential male quality.

    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 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.

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