You may think you know everything about the terribleness of women that there is to know.
But do you know about Hike Misandry?
Over in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit one outdoor adventurer clues us in on this insidious new form of feminine evil.
Damn those FAKEÂ HIKER GIRLS!
One MGTOW suggests that men should also be wary of women who claim to exercise. Â (As if!)
Stay safe, men, stay safe. It’s a treacherous world out there.
NOTE: This post contains
Woman hiker with expensive clothing going on brief hike and carrying all the men’s equipment to emasculate them:
I actually wish I knew this info! I hate hiking, and it seems like 75% of the people I see on dating sites are into it. Too bad I never knew they were all fake. I could have swiped right! 😛
eeee goatses!
They are adorable and i want one. It’d be cruel given how darn cold it gets here, and i don’t have the property for it, but still
eeeeeeeeee
(I have hiked a number of mountains, but never with a goat!)
(well, i mean, there were goats, but they lived there already)
(they are adorbs)
“When I hike, I want to hike. I’m going my own way.”
Well, good, then, GO your own way. No one’s stopping you. And if your way leads off a cliff, you won’t be missed.
(Fake hikers. Whatever next? Is everything we do either fake, “misandry”, or both?)
ETA: PANCAKES! And BABY GOATS!!! Yum, and SQUEEEE, respectively!
Scildfreja, I’m hoping to get small dairy goats in the next couple of years, and I intend to train them to pack their own water and pull a (tiny) cart so I can give wee cart rides to little kids in town.
In a devastating act of misandry, my partner and I discussed him becoming a house husband in the next few years to do the milking and housework, so we might be able to sell our cheese and honey from the back of such a tiny cart (with tiny parasols, and tiny till).
1. I super want to hike with goats now.
2. Can we talk about the kerfuffle at UMass? I feel like I should have known about it, as I went there.
Maybe it’s that he told her it would be a “hiking date” and then took her on a “one mile state park loop.” Someone who is really into hiking would probably be bored by that. I know I would be. It would also explain why he thinks they have too much gear.
Or maybe he’s just a misogynist.
Also, to brag just a little bit…I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge (24 miles, 5000 feet of elevation change) in 10 and a half hours last year. SOLO. Tell me again how I’m pretending to like hiking.

Woman pretending to like hiking without safety equipment. Or clothes. For attention, obviously. Just to show that she works out:

I dunno, y’all, I think it’s the wrong move to try to convince any MGHOW that women actually do hike and enjoy it. I am in favor of anything that would make a MGHOW keep going.
Yes, fellas, women are horrible and have cooties. Stay far away from them! Going your own way is a good plan and you should stick with it!
I thought the post was going to be about this.
Pretty sure that those pretend-hikers weren’t taking selfies there.
And if they want “likes”, they got mine. All respect to anyone who can climb without kneepads…or SHOES.
@EJ- yeah that would be pretty annoying “here I packed all my hiking gear for this date, and it turns out we’re going around a FLAT LOOP??? I totally didn’t need my softshell jacket OR my microspikes for this. LAAME!”
Dr. Alpine, OTOH, took me down a rock-slide, OFF TRAIL on one of our first dates…pretty hardcore
i …. i need pictures of babby goats with tiny carts carrying tiny cheeses and a tiny till now.
how do you keep the goats from eating the cheeses?
Would you want to stop them?
😮
I’ve not seen climbers with knee pads. Without shoes is doable, depending on the rock.
My gf totally didn’t invite two women along with us to go hiking this weekend while she and I climb. I totally didn’t invite my sister and her roommate.
Oh wait, I actually haven’t invited them. Time to send an email!
This guy would hate running meets then, what with all those women routinely turning up and faking a 10k without stop. Just for attention, and to annoy him, of course.
When I’m looking for social validation, the first place I head is the woods.
I love how he puts this in quotes, as if women’s hikes are just misspelled versions of men’s hikes. As if there’s a more manly way to pronounce it that only Real Hikers know about. AdvenTOOR?
When I was a child/teen my parents took us to some “no destiny” trips ^^
We would just drive till the sea side of some state, stop the car, walk down some random trail through the tropical forest and arrive to all kinds of secluded, untouched beaches and waterfalls. So many hilarious and gorgeous adventures at almost no price!
And in those, I had my share of hiking in flip flops (yep. Flip flops in the wet earth Yummy.), and climbing wet rocks in a bikini and nothing else, exactly like this girl is doing in the pic. And exactly like her, I had no fear. I have a picture of 12 yo me at the top of a rock round, slippery and wet like a soap, 5 meters high, directly behind the waterfall. I am not sure how I’m still alive?!? Nowadays I am too afraid to climb anything, but that picture brings so much memories…
And, yeah, its possible and even easy to climb without shoes. It’s actually much easier in my opinion. But nowadays I’d require ropes, a helmet and a instructor :p
Dutch babies count as pancakes, right?

…So I heard on the radio recently about a couple hiking the Appalachian trail with their 8-month baby, but I guess it was only fake-hiking because there was a woman involved.

Chiomara,
Jealous! Minneapolis has some nice nature considering it’s a city. There’s even a small waterfall fairly near my house. But there’s nothing too unspoiled until you get all the way up to the Boundary Waters near the Canadian border. Gooseberry Falls is a pretty decent waterfall but it’s a few hours north of here and a state park so there’s always lots of people there.
Oh well. In the US you’re lucky to live in a city that has parks, lakes, and creeks you can walk to. Still, I wouldn’t mind seeing some topography every now and then.
I thought the only fake hiker on the Appalachian Trail was former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford.

“It only counts when I do it, not you.”
I’m the type of person who likes walking in forests, but I don’t like to do hiking because it’s killer on my legs and back, which aren’t in that great of shape anyways due to previous injuries.
So I guess that means I’m a Fake Advenchurr Gurl because I like the “casual stuff”, which is easier on my legs and back and because I like enjoying nature instead of trying to make everything a goddamned competition. Enjoy nature, you fucks. Stop trying to make hiking about who can do the most hiking and look around you, for fuck’s sake.
This guy and his little friends can seriously go fuck off to the highest point of the highest peak of Fuck Off Mountain. And stay there. Of course, that would involve them actually going their own way.
There’s a greater chance the sun will rise in the west tomorrow morning because Superman reversed the Earth’s rotation to turn back time again than them actually going their own way and stop complaining about how awful women are for existing and not fucking them out of gratitude for said existance.
Wait, so no selfies if I enjoy an activity? People who are serious about an activity should not take a picture to mark the occasion?
I mean, I know people are selfie/picture crazy, but this hardly seems like a way to tell if someone really likes an activity.
Or are all pictures just to grab attention?
