Since I have crossed the street upon occasion in such situations, I can
assure my fellow men that it's neither difficult nor especially inconvenient.
Remember, we're talking about a relatively deserted street late at night.
It's not as if you'd be spending all your time criss-crossing while
steady streams of women marched down alternate sides of the street. If the
street were that crowded, the problem wouldn't arise.

C'mon guys.  Take this thing seriously and stop nit-picking about your
"rights".
