Abstract

Two recent social media posts about the authenticity of women's experiences in the outdoors fueled an outpouring of dialogue among the authors of this paper. These posts sparked healthy debate and we asked ourselves, 'Why does our apparel, our aesthetical appeal, our physicality, or even our motivations become subject to critique and judgment?'
