[pct-l] Reinhold - just stop writing this stuff RE: Why are male hikers happier campers than female hikers?

Why the hell to you write this stuff?  

You knew it was offensive when you posted it?  

It is offensive and it is not consistent with the purpose of this listserv.

Sexist jokes are no more welcome than racist jokes or ethnic jokes.

[pct-l] Why are male hikers happier campers than female hikers?

Hi gang,
When you are hiking, did you ever notice that there are far more hiker dudes
than hiker babes?
Why is that?
It could be that male hikers are happier campers.
We need to reverse that.
We need more good looking hiker babes on the trail.
Lord knows we have enough homely looking dudes on the trail.
  
TEN  REASON  WHY  MEN  ARE  HAPPIER  CAMPERS.

1.   We never get pregnant.
2.   It does not matter if our legs are hairy.
3.   We never have strap problems.
4.   Our underwear is warmer.
5.   We can do our nails with a pocket knife.
6.   We don't need to carry birth control pills or tampons.
7.   We can pee without getting out of the tent on a rainy night.
8.   We can hike topless.
9.   We don't need to put our hair up in curlers.
10.  We can light a stove without starting  a forest fire.

No wonder men are happier campers.

I think I will now sign off, for I hear the distant thunder of the heavy
artillery, aimed at me by those who do not support my point of view.
Hope to see you all on the trail someday.
