Passenger Tales

I get irritated when I see couples walking together HHWW (holding hands while walking), being very sweet and all, making gooey eyes on each other, but with the girl/woman on the danger side of the road. Don’t guys know that they should be the ones on the side nearest the street? Is the instinct to protect their mate just history? Was this instinct stifled by women’s lib? That women can take care of themselves and that they don’t need men’s protection? Sure, I believe in equality of the sexes but by doing something so little as walking nearest the side of the street when they’re together or when they’re crossing, men can show their partners just how much they care and value them. On the other hand, women have as much right to protect their men, so maybe they choose to walk on the danger side to show how much they care and value their men. Or maybe, these couples just don’t know any better. Hehehe

What do you think?
