Yes. I think, as a woman, walking down the street can be a totally different experience. It also depends on what street :) In a big city it might be overwhelming to honestly greet each person with your attention, while in my home town, it's normal and easy to do so. People smile or say good morning. I find in more open spaces, going for walks of hiking this is also normal. I think we all go through times of being more or less open to our surroundings and each other.
