I wouldn't think a wilderness area would be a place predators would go to look for a woman alone though so any man encountered would probably be safe. Unless he was coming back from burying the body. Just kidding! Anyway what a lovely place to walk. I tell Steve all the time on his blog how envious I am that he has the Heath within walking distance.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-41725132459767394312021-11-19T17:19:26.457-05:002021-11-19T17:19:26.457-05:00And he is a good man who is aware of how his gende...And he is a good man who is aware of how his gender and size could intimidate people.

I think those red leaves are sumac, aren't they?<br /><br />Every time I'm walking, especially at night, I worry when I'm approaching a woman walking alone that I am causing her tension levels to rise. If I'm coming up behind her sometimes I cross the street to avoid getting too close, and if she's coming towards me I try to give her a wide berth. I hope that doing so will signal that I am harmless. I hate the fact that we all have to be so suspicious, but I get it.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-37633440324712611032021-11-19T07:29:08.181-05:002021-11-19T07:29:08.181-05:00Your comment about women always being vigilant of ...Your comment about women always being vigilant of men reminded me of a conversation at our dinner table a few years ago. My kids were both in high school. My son boldly announced (as those with a y chromosome are wont to do), "My biggest fear is bed bugs." After rolling her eyes (as those with two x chromosomes are wont to do) answered, "Really? My biggest fear is being raped. So yeah, you take your bed bug fear and quiver in the corner."<br /><br />My husband quietly rose from the table and started doing the dishes (as those who are wise yet possess and y chromosome are wont to do).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092900195805759791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-56512655911910319072021-11-19T04:13:31.854-05:002021-11-19T04:13:31.854-05:00I am often walking with the dog in places with no ...I am often walking with the dog in places with no one else around.Sometimes if I see a lone male coming I put my keys through my knuckles as at least some sort of protection, though why I think it would help is anyone's guess!! I can't run anymore so I would be sitting duck, especially if I had managed to actually hurt with my keys. Stupid really! The trees here in SE England have been beautiful this year, though having had several night frosts the leaves are rapidly falling now. Do you have bears in your area? The largest wildlife I see is a squirrel or rabbit!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576715462615744934noreply@blogger.com
