I get it in extreme cases - there are some men who open their legs far too much. And for those men, they need to close their legs more to allow people to sit next to them. But women also need to understand that its quite hard for men to close their legs fully because sensitive things get in the way... so I'm on board with the feminists who take issue with those extreme cases but if they are having a go at men who open their legs a bit more than their hips (say by 10%) then you've lost my support.

It's the most annoying thing on earth you bitches NEED to leave room for us. it's ok if my fav fictional characters do jt tho 😈

I think it's a matter of degree, like on an airplane or train or whatever I can certainly understand needing a little space for the boys to breathe and not be pinched and all, but some dudes will like aggressively have their legs at a 145 degree angle just because and that is kind of a dick move

Because shut your legs. You’re taking up too much damn room!

I just don't sit next to them.

It represents male aggression and ego with particular focus on their genitalia. It's primitive/animalistic and also selfish/inefficient--when someone manspreads, there's less seating room for everyone else. So it simultaneously represents a lot of things that are wrong with humanity.

It’s irritating, as this everyday sexism exemplifies male entitlement. In my opinion, it’s not just a disregard of politesse; It is a blatant example of, ‘everyday’ sexism ingrained into society. It’s an emblem of men’s tendency to take up social space. Literally & Metaphorically. Essentially, “Manspreading” is just a very common, and obvious, example of a posture that's (socially) considered okay for men, and not okay for women.
