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.
You sound like you have been to at least one straight pride rally.
You sound like you took Gender Issues 101 and gave yourself a gold star.
This doesn’t happen to the women that pick the bear
Good thing women dont have huge egos and always communicate clearly and say what they mean. Phew.
WT actual Fuck… that’s Not divorce, it’s potential murder. What assholes.
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.
This is such a dumb article. A handful of women go on day hikes that sucked.
You didn’t read the article. The Austrian guy refused help and refused to wrap the girl (who was very inexperienced) into an emergency blanket before he fucked off.
I did read the article, and that one example is terrible. But this isnt an epidemic. Its not a dumb article because of the severity of any of the cases. Its a dumb article because it paints a picture of lost and starving women on trails everywhere. Its a handful of assholes being assholes.
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.
Who was?
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.

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.
