It’s the framing of “it’s okay to ...” that bothers me. I mean, who says it isn’t? I wouldn’t have that issue if the title were “why you should ...” Edit: fur

It’s the framing of “it’s okay to ...” that bothers me. I mean, who says it isn’t? I wouldn’t have that issue if the title were “why you should ...” Edit: furthermore, there were times and places where “just taking a walk” was taboo. (See the Ray Bradbury short story [1] or the Mad Men episode where they freak out at the woman who says she does it.) So I chafe at the false implication that we’re in such an era, if the author isn’t going to back up such a claim.
