Why ‘Manspreading’ Is Definitely a Serious Issue, as Explained by the Feminist Internet
The National Review ^ | 1/6/2015 | Katherine Timpf

You might not think that it’s appropriate for the government to launch a campaign telling men how to sit on the subway. Well guess what? You’re wrong.

If you “manspread” on the subway (which, by the way, means to sit with your legs apart, in case you are a fixture of the patriarchy who doesn’t educate himself on important women’s issues), you are doing so much more than taking up space.

Here’s what’s really going on with manspreading, as explained by some of the bright, forward-thinking minds on the Feminist Internet:

1. Manspreading is saying, “Who gives a f*** if you can’t sit, [we] are men. See [our] balls.”

Feminists: One of the few remaining cults that practices human sacrifice, in their sacrament of abortion.

If you “manspread” ride on the subway you're liable to see just about everything that offends you. That's why I don't go near any major city. You can have them.

They’re just jealous because they can’t sit that way.

I don’t know, I’ve been on subways and can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone do this, seems like living dangerously, sort of like sleeping nude in the summer with an older kitten in the house.

Manspread is saying..’If I squeeze my legs any closer together I’m gonna be a soprano.’

These broads should shut up. I ride public transit and I can say I’ve had more problems with women parking their kids’ strollers on or in front of a seat or spreading five kids all over 5 seats, or parking their packages and bags over empty seats. God help me if I ask them to move their stuff or their kids. Rude, nasty, ignorant. And they aren’t all part of the EBT crowd either. These days, it’s hooray for me and p**s on you.

Should we just use a post-it to read:

“I CAN’T BREATH”

I know that fags will “manspread” so they can rub up against other men. I didn’t know that heteros did it.

Perhaps men’s privates benefit from better air circulation? But really, if you want to sit down, say, “excuse me sir” and squeeze in. If you don’t want to be cheek-to-cheek with people on public transportation, find another way to get around or a less crowded bus.

By the way, separate train cars can work.

I have been on a “womens’ train” car in Mexico City, back in the 1980s. My mom and I got on the mens’ car at first, and then we noticed that we were the only women, and we got off and figured out where the women were. When we arrived at our stop, we were slow to realize it, but the other women in the car grasped the situation and sprang into action. They pushed us from the back of the car up to the door in time to get out. That was very thoughtful of them.

Somehow having bunches of badly behaved small children bouncing around doesn’t seem conducive to “manspreading”.

The bigger problem is all the cats and bears doing the same thing.
Something must be done. This is series.

If feminists can refuse to shave their armpits and legs, (like men), don’t shower or wash their hair (like men), use the F bomb profusely in regular conversation (like men), and generally go out of their way to be crude, I don’t see what’s stopping them from “woman spreading”. I’m glad most of these women don’t. But I don’t see what’s stopping them.
