this video has stirred up some conversation... so... I need to watch the converse of the situation with a man walking 10 hours...

a woman walked for 10 hours in NYC and they documented the activity around her with a GoPro

worth watching... give it a glance

some of this was pretty tame

in fact... some of it was just people being nice

while other activity was creepy and intrusive

that said

I am not sure if the video entirely proves the maker's point

but I get it...

I am not a woman

I do not know what it is to be a woman

but

I think that the effort to stop any\all cross interaction between people on the street because there are troglodytes cat calling

well... that will not make our planet any more warm and fuzzy

if I walked for 10 hours in DC... I know that I would evoke a number of responses from people

in my day to day I get remarks from people

it is not uncommon for woman to remark on my beard

or 

to initiate a hello on the sidewalk

I hate when I am in the park and a woman walks by and a person I am sitting near shouts out to the passerby

it brings down the group's property value

it fulfills a stereotype

it does not increase the odds of that person making contact to that woman

but...

I do like to make contact with strangers

men and woman

I will ride up along side another person on a bike and initiate conversation

I may see a person on the sidewalk and say something as we pass

I do not believe that all interactions between strangers needs to be eliminated

in this age people are so dis-attached

the use of electronic devices has really decreased the use of face time

in DC people shout out to other people all the time

we must remember

we live in a society where people are not just judged by their actions

but also by their intentions
