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.

    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.

    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.

    Got you. It must be so hard being a man in modern society. No one knows your pain. XD

    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.

    I got the point and I feel very bad about the oppression you deal with every day as a white male.

    I do feel for you.

    Yeah, yeah. Sarcasm is what you use when you don’t have an argument. Buh-bye.

    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.

    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.

    I understand the analysis of the phenomena but I cant help myself thinking it would be the same thing between male friends or brothers... in other words, this is less a sexist move than a wider asshole move from people with sociopathy issues. I don't say its not a concerning issue.... Actually it tells a lot about the society we are suffering right now

    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.
