General Discussion / Re: Tent
« Last post by GlennM on Today at 04:22:15 PM »Before addrssing the business of who got in a snit about sewing a patch on a tent, it would be better to know who wrote the diary. It can not be that hard!
Next, this inquiry about patching the tent is a leading question of no significant intrinsic value.. I think the sub rosa intent is to argue for some sort of revolt at a critical juncture.
Taken as whole, I get the sense that gender equality was an issue on the hike with the younger generation, not Zolo. In a mixed group like the DP9, sexual tension produces frustration which begets aggression. To sublimate the sexual urges, there is much intellectualization and petty power plays evidenced in the diaries, but it has to constantly be reinforced by making rules and obeying them. Someone will likely become the altruistic punisher in the group. There are dozens of names we give to that sort of person, most are not nice.
I suppose this is thread is leading to the idea that it wasn't weather, assasins nor critters that precipitated their leaving the tent for the woods. It was, instead a " hissy fit" leading one or more to go storming off out of the tent poorly dressed. Eventually they all left the tent and collected themselves. And did not go back. We know what followed. If true, it is easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than a needle in a canvas patch.
