This is slightly irrelevant but I wish there was less shame for women. I was with a civilian woman I was dating in the downtown of an American city a few years ago and she asked me to buy condoms for us. We were waiting at an intersection on foot when she said "Put those away!" referring to the condom box I was open carrying. Two women looked at her and laughed. I felt bad for her but also I feel the two women shouldn't have laughed at her.Yes or you just have a walk of shame the next morning with your hair all over the place, last nights clothes and no panties
I'm not used to the concept of shame in that context and wish I'd known sooner that would be a bad item to open carry for her sake. Four years later I still feel bad..
