Now, having said that, as a man I do worry when I see women alone traveling like that. There's probably no real reason to worry. But it's hardwired in men's brains (very generally speaking) to be protectors of women. So we naturally want to shield them from dangerous activities. Traveling alone across the country has an element of danger to it for both men and women. Real or perceived, we want to keep them safe in our heads.
X100. Outstanding observations and comments!
That's exactly how I feel and what the DW expects of me and deserves from me. The issue is not "can women do it" ... but "is it safe for women to do it". I'm even beginning to wonder if it's even "safe and reliable" for both of us to go where we most want to go in our rig. It's not just what we feel comfortable with based on feelings ... it's becoming an issue of what we should feel comfortable with if well informed.
What can be done and gotten away for awhile, versus what should be done in the long term after application of wisdom ... are not the same thing by a long shot, IMHO.
