Pavement wars

Don't get me started on crowds of women blocking door ways! I have to push my way through even going as far to say "excuse me" in a polite tone. They just stand there chatting away and barely make room as I push my way through. It's ridiculous. Same thing with hallways, they always just stop and take up as much space as humanly possible, I don't get it.

Also as far as the sidewalk thing goes, people need to understand it's the same rules as a road, stay on your right for fucks sake.

I thought it was just me!

Being science-minded, and having just witnessed a nasty four broad Shield Wall versus a skateboard-mounted Pavement Spear, I decided to see if my observations about women and sidewalks was true or just my own misogyny.

Nope. I recorded 43 collisions that women who would not allow sufficient room for counter traffic. All but seven were Shield Walls, four of them were simply tuned out on a gadget (no fun category yet), two of them Flank attacks, and the craziest was One on One Combat.

There where no Chariot Formations, one mixed group of drunk men and women (bumped the woman), and one group of three young men who were definitely trying to look cool.

I received heaps of abuse from the various women involved, but it was only with the single male incident that I actually got concerned about it getting physical. Which probably goes a long way towards explaining why men don't do this shit to each other.

I will leave it as an MR exercise to figure out why women do it to men and each other.

It was about two years ago I finally got sick of women doing this sort of selfish, inconsiderate shit. Nowadays, I pick my line and stick to it. If some idiotic vagina-owner happens to be in my road, stiff shit. Given I am 5'8" and about 225lb of mainly muscle, most people tend not to get in my path. I have had the odd collision with dopey women and my stock reply is, "Are you blind or just retarded?". I never let women put shame on me for not being their personal mangina-boy. Fuck that.

I do make exceptions to my "Line" policy as needed (and as are appropriate) but they are just that, exceptions. My line of travel is more important than giving in to some feminasty's self-centredness.

You see a variation of the "Shield Wall" in indoor running tracks in college. 4-5 girls decide to do some walking/jogging together...taking up the entire 4-5 lane track. If they are nice, they'll leave one lane open for the rest of the damn student body trying to exercise.

This shit is VERY common in Middle East cultures for both genders. It's just a matter of respect for people around you.

yeah, I've seen men do the exact same things too.
