[pct-l] Why men are NOT happier hikers

Kristin,
You have opened my eyes.
You have made me see the light.
You have made me see the way things really are.
You have made me realize that I was wrong.
You have made me realize that it is women, "NOT" men, who are,
in reality, the happier campers.

Yes, this will go a long way to make the "Hiker Babes" happy.
An obvious wrong has been made right and ruffled feathers will
be smoothed.

To all who have been offended, by my false logic, please accept
my humble apology.
  
I just hope this will not ruffle up the feathers of the "Hiker
Dudes" and cause a reverse adverse reaction.

TEN  REASON  WHY  MEN  ARE *NOT*  HAPPIER  CAMPERS.

1.   When we get pregnant and are constantly hungry and have
      to pee every 10 minutes, don't even THINK about touching
      that last piece of pizza!!
2.   If our legs are hairy, it's your problem more than it is ours.
3.   We don't need a jock strap, and we left the underwire at home.
4.   Our high percentage of body fat and more efficient metabolism
      reduces our energy requirements.
5.   We don't need a pocket knife; we can use our nails as a weapon.
6.   We don't need to carry birth control pills or tampons; we can
      use theDiva cup, and you stink, I don't want a mess in my
      sleeping bag, so don't even THINK about getting any backcountry
      sex.
7.   We can pee without getting out of the tent on a rainy night
      (google "Go-Go Girl").
8.   If we were to hike topless, people wouldn't be saying "eew."
9.   We don't worry about male pattern baldness (no offense, but
      seriously men worry about their hair like women worry about their
      weight).
10.  Unlike men, all of whom THINK they inherently know how to build a
      campfire, the few of us women who actually DO venture into the
      outdoors actually DO know how to safely start one.
11.  The ratio of dudes to babes much favors the babes.

      Cheers!
