I have three words for you: Natural...child...birth. Been there done that. Twice. The nurses kept telling me "Just scream. It will help." There was no screaming. None. And there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of women giving birth this same way, 24/7, 365 days a year. I've seen videos where men were subjected to the same type of pain using electrodes. Let's just say that they would be wearing the pink bracelet...for a very, very long time. I have more examples if you like. Shall I go on?Julius_ wrote: ↑22 Jan 2020, 04:30Without sounding like a chauvinist, I think women whine the most when subject to any form of pain, especially the physical one. This can be witnessed even when both male and female children are being punished by either the parents or the teachers at school.ErikaP13 wrote: ↑13 Jan 2020, 00:41I'm not so sure about that, hey. Women are used to dealing with pain on a regular basis and going about their day like it isn't there. Men might have a higher pain threshold, but I'm willing to bet women can withstand pain longer than men...LeDiplomatique wrote: ↑02 Jan 2020, 00:01 'He who whines loudest wears the pink bracelet' sounds interesting. It's like saying that only girls are allowed to whine. I have been trying to imagine one of the guys trekking with a sprained foot and claiming he is okay while the pain escalates. It's a manly thing though, a girl would scream the hills down.

Yes! It does sound obviously sexist, but it also has another side. Like you said, it implies that men deal with pain better than women... but in this book it's proven otherwise! They get tired and mopey just like a woman can, not to mention the severe injuries they took on. I think the book was trying to teach us that men hurt just the same, but perhaps they would rather "suck it up" and go on with it, even if it doesn't hurt less.LianaMayhew wrote: ↑23 Jan 2020, 18:40 For me it has to be, "He Who Whines Loudest Wears the Pink Bracelet." It may seem a little sexist, saying men deal with pain better than women, (complete nonsense BTW) but I found it amusing. I may have to get my hubby a pink bracelet, he definitely whines the loudest in this house, and I have 3 daughters!
Haha that's a splendid idea, do one of your daughters have a pink bracelet? Maybe one day you can hide it somewhere and leave a note. Just like in the book, the bracelet came from a daughter!

I find it very amusing because all four men eventually become well off at some point in their life (to be able to afford these missions), yet they still chose a rougher, simpler path. They could have sat in hotels all day with room service, but they chose not to. They wanted to be one with nature and discover it.
Though it was funny when they stumbled upon the hotel with the infinity pool in Vietnam.

I'm also a fan of #3 - we don't know what we're capable of til we're pushed.Bhaskins wrote: ↑22 Jan 2020, 14:14Love Rule #3 also! Going beyond your limits is so important. Out limits are often far more than what we think they are.Laura Lee wrote: ↑02 Jan 2020, 10:36 LOL -- Great question! It's really hard to narrow it down to one. Rule #1 (Men Only) seems to go hand-in-glove with rules #6 (Bathing Optional) and #9 (To Go Al Fresco is to Touch the Face of God.)
On a personal level, I appreciate the challenge of Rule #3: Go Beyond Your Limits. (Perhaps that's why, so often, they returned with injuries?) LOL

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
