Obviously, NYC has too many policemen and not enough crime.

Latino culture?

How about:

I am LGBTQWERTY transgendered; a woman in a man’s body.

I lived in NYC for thirty years. TA cops used to walk the trains on certain lines at certain times waking up drunks and druggies to move along.

Why do you want to further clog the courts for a mere matter of convience.

What a whining bunch of pansies NYErs have become. Live with it or find another means of getting about.

Just damn.

As a woman, I see nothing wrong with “manspreading”. No real man would sit like a woman with his legs crossed.

Good one!

I wonder how much Clinton charges to make a personal appearance on a subway car?

It happens on planes too. Pretty gross on a trans continental flight. Flight attendants seem to be blind to this type of activity.

Similar to a subway groper.

I’m glad there was an explanation ...

Personally I hate having to sit by a guy who does this ..

I stand up if there’s one doing this ...

I feel put upon...

Would you want your wife or daughter to have some guy’s leg pressed up against hers when there is no need ???

you don’t think its deliberate ???

Wanna bet ???

Maybe if there was a chance theyd get tazed in a certain spot they’ll start keeping their legs together to protect those delicate parts..

Just a thought..

That guy on the left is obnoxious.

At the same time I am not going to sit like that woman in the middle, on the right photo. When you have equipment you can’t sit like that comfortably.

There is a middle ground. The guy on the left is deliberately blocking seat space. But guys do need some room - more than that lady - to keep from being crushed.

I don’t see how anything short of arrests will change it—it has long been illegal to take up more than a seat on the subway.

Yet they only go after man spreaders??

What about fat people, ladies with bags, woman spreaders and woman with big hips and butts?
