Time Magazine: Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege”

Time Magazine has declared that men who are able to sit and not cross their legs are a “manifestation of patriarchal privilege.”

In an article called, “‘Man Spreaders,’ There’s No Excuse for Not Closing Your Legs on the Subway,” Time’s Etiquette section slammed men who do not sit with their legs together. But more than it being impolite and against etiquette, there is a much bigger problem with men like this: they are proliferating “the patriarchy.”

The article explains that men sitting with their legs apart “is the most visual manifestation of patriarchal privilege and that is why it is especially angering.”

...The author, Brian Moylan, then states that people don’t like men with their legs apart because “everyone” thinks of the oppression of women: “It says to everyone, “I find this comfortable and I am a man so my comfort comes before all else in this entire universe and especially you.” That’s why people hate this.”

I think Brian Molan may enjoy this:

You got that right. Libtards really love and want us to turn fag.

Their argument is pure bunk but I dont get it. Why do they care?

If the truism of; “Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad!”, has any validity, the author of this twit piece is in the cross-hairs! As for Time magazine publishing it, I last actually read that magazine somewhere around 2 decades back and have not found that to be a lack. On the other hand, I love to read archive issues from the 1930s through the 1960s. Night and day!

What ... the ... f....??? If the author doesn't have anything better to do in his/her life - yes I did not even bother to read the article - than to worry about this kind of thing... Then I suggest he/she go and volunteer at a homeless shelter or some such.

He or she is spending far too much time staring at strange men's crotches and contemplating them.

Sounds like somebody’s got a bad case of being a whiny little b!tc#.
I think they need a strong, healthy dose of man the f**k up.

And yet so many who call themselves biblical Christians refuse to see that we are indeed in the Biblical Last days....

This just proves that assertion.

Incredibly, we live in a time where people actually ponder what might be wrong with men who don’t behave like women.

Time magazine is still in business?

Can I get some kind of medical exemption for being an old skier and motorcycle racer who doesn’t cross his legs because it’s painful?

Metrosexual insanity!
