Well, I didn't really like the way the article was written. But when my girlfriends and I hit the woods, there are occasionally matching outfits. Yes we're gross with bodily functions and someone always has to pee. And when we're out of the woods we do have some decorum and wear high heels and dresses. I wasn't really sure I followed the point of the article.

exasperating article

...even if it is tongue in cheek.

Yeah, all the faux horror about women acting like human beings was a little much.  Not really funny.  Borderline sexist.

This is how I felt about it.

Ick. That article does not describe me and I have been running trails for 10+ years, though not as much these days as in the past.
