I did a lot of hiking during this Christmas break. I'm in good shape for my age, what with karate, weightlifting, and running. But the long hikes were surprisingly challenging.
I should walk more.

where the female lead declares 'Nine times out of ten, if a girl gets raped, it’s partly her fault'

I've noticed similarly dismissive treatment of rape in Silverberg. You don't have to go far back in time to find a society in which rape is treated as a mild inconvenience (e.g. Heinlein's Friday).
Thank you for the defense, Andrew.
