Sometimes I yell slow down if they whiz by 10-12 walkers single file. It speaks to their courtesy and caring for others or not!
I haven't particularly noticed a gender difference when it comes to giving room to walkers on an MMP. Personally, I slow down and give a wide berth as long as it is safe to do so. My exception would be the bozo that yells "slow down", especially if I'm already slow. THEY do not get to tell me what to do. THEY are not the boss of me. THEY have no authority whatsoever. MY response to them would probably be less than polite.
