[QUOTE="Dorpie, post: 659350, member: 45270"] Hi [USER=78627]@TheSparrow[/USER] I can only speak for myself but I have deliberately not involved myself in this thread precisely because I'm a man and as such not in a position to understand the nature or scale of the issue. On my two caminos (both Frances) female walking companions have experienced issues, first time a non-pilgrim got a bit too touchy when supposedly helping with pack adjustments and second time (again a non pilgrim) cat calling my friend. Neither of which were the end of the world but mean that I can't in good conscience say "Walk, be adventurous, you have nothing to worry about". It is not my place to tell you or anyone else to walk, it strikes me that as independent adults it is up to the individual to weigh up the risks and rewards, and appealing for men to speak up and almost give permission is exactly the kind of patriarchal behaviour that I don't think serves either gender. Having said that I will stand up and be counted when it matters, I was not happy with my friend in the first case when she refused to go to the police, but that was her decision. I fear this reads as defensive and confrontational, it isn't meant to, just explaining why for me personally it doesn't feel appropriate to weigh in. Wishing everyone a safe, compelling Camino, Rob.
