If I ever run into you I will take you for coffee or tea if you ask.

In waiting rooms, every man is man-spreading his legs. It's maddening. I feel crowded out of my seat.

Sure ain't that way around here.

Love this!

"Hikers going downhill yield to those hiking uphill," and "hike quietly" are longstanding hiking etiquette rules. I always do this.

Men are the worst offenders. Yelling and talking loudly, pushing ahead of others, and disrespecting other people's need for quiet and serenity in the mountains.

That's right the subway and commuter rat race still is every one for themselves. A lot of people live in their heads and are caught up in the mess to pay attention. Then there are the challenging ones whom stare right at you and blare your way with intent. Good luck with the battle.

Just be careful for that one unpredictable angry male. Some males don't like their percieved male entitlement challenged or questioned.

Isn't that a scary truth! There are men in the world whose sense of entitlement is so out of control that they would consider a woman being in their way as an excuse to do her physical harm. Not surprising, I suppose, when we often see news stories about women losing their lives for simply saying "no." Yet we are the ones in the wrong for not being careful enough.

@Deb57. i agree, male privilege in insecure males can be a dangerous chemistry in some circumstances.
