Taking up three seats on public transportation because you are male is pathetic.

Notice, men don’t do that on planes, where they could get kicked off for it.

Just like any other image with height and width:

<'img src = xxxxx width = 500 height = 300>

Exactly. Men used to be gentlemen—with ladies and other men.

To read these responses here we’ve got a lot of least-common-denominator Freepers.

That said, women really ought to have issues of greater consequence to obsess over. Men actually not allowing women or men to sit in an empty seat next to them on a full NYC subway, at least, are pretty rare.

"Nuts. And maybe because men with nuts BUILT that subway train, mined the ore and refined the steel it’s made from, bored the miles of tunnels, built the bridges that the cross the rivers. It’s our train, just take what we give you Cujo the psycho. The deal is like this, you only get to wreck the life of the guy you’re dating. The rest of us could give a flying fornication about your opinion on how we sit."

I heard just today some new democratic congressman introduced a measure to put President Obama’s face on the 3 dollar bill.

What annoys me more is the “phonespreaders”. 90% of the riders, male or female, splay their elbows out into the next seat now because they are obsessed with playing on their phones.

I spent 14 years of my life working in two of Japan's larger cities (Tokyo and Kobe). The reality is that the width from butt cheek to butt cheek doesn't vary much whether your legs are spread or not.

One night, I was lucky enough to find a seat for my commute home. Three stops later, an elderly man and his wife get on at the opposite end of the car. I hear him tell her "Let's go over by that foreign guy, they are kind to ladies and yield their seats." What else could I do?

But I learned NOT to yield my seat to young ladies. I once did so and a stop or two later and elderly lady gets on and the young twit I gave my seat to just kept her head down and pretends not to notice.

Live and learn.

Poor thing. Old men with big guts sympathize. It’s no fun to have legs going numb after sitting down. :-(

No, really...Think about it...When I normally sit down, my legs are spread about shoulder width...To go wider has to be done on purpose...For me anyway.....

> LOL ...... I never heard that one.

I must be hanging around with the right crowd. ;-)

------------------

Hahaha..... It's just bad manners and the folks who say they are so well endowed that their "package" needs extra space ....are likely tellin' porkies.

I am retired and living in SE Asia and there is a local bus service called a "song taw" which is basically two rows of seats on inside of the back of a pick-up. It handles 5 or 6 to a side and it is cheap, partially open air and runs 24/7. You get a few of the local young punks who will try it on now & again but if I get on and there is nowhere else to sit but next to one of them, I just point and tell them" I'm sitting there" and do it. I'm noticeably taller and likely 50% bigger than most of them so they make room.

If they are riding in a car, an airplane or a bus/train with forward facing seats this stuff doesn't happen so it is a conscious choice to be a d#ck while claiming under certain circumstances they just gotta give it air, hahahaha.

It took me a few rides to realize that it was because people were afraid that I might be crazy.

Might be?
