How convenient that the number is round and memorable. Imagine if the rule was 9.654327%. No one could calculate it in their head.The 10% rule is based on body weight. Not fitness. Not strength. Not endurance. It's never been something with a great deal of logic behind it.
I like lots of pockets in my pants, shorts, and shirts. Are there lots of pockets on kilts?Kilts and how much sense they really do make
This is the brain strength I was referring to, not flexing any muscle here.David said:Women certainly seem to have greater endurance (well, they put up with us for a start)
Well David, us women are mysterious creatures.David said:Another subject that is never mentioned is women's monthly periods and how to cope with those using the sometimes primitive facilities one can find out there. I have never seen sanitary products on a packing list.
At least Gillette gave us the "Venus" so it will "reveal the Goddess" in us women. I mean, who doesn't want to feel like a Goddess now and again?David said:the macho image rolls on - "Gillette, the mark of a man" - as if women don't need razors ...
I hate grunt work, so yes, give me a man with big beautiful strong arms any day to do my heavy lifting.David said:the haulers and carriers of heavy things, those doing the grunt work, well, they should all be men ......don't you think?
siseale94 said:It was my experience that women were the strongest walkers on the Camino. Last Oct. I went from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela in 29 days and there were multiple women I could not keep up with. Lenka Cavojska, one of my walking partners went from SJPP to Santiago in 25 days. I for one, do not question the ability of women. lol
