Brony: No. The Gemara in Pesachim says that if you see two women standing across from each other in the street, you shouldn’t walk between them because you have to worry that they are engaged in sorcery. (Apparently, in the Gemara’s times sorcery was so prevalent and/or it was so rare for even non-Jewish women to be on the street that the vast majority of women across the street from each other were doing sorcery.) The Gemara in Horiyos 13b gives a list of 10 things that cause one to forget their learning. One of those 10 is walking between two women.
