You can't be friggin serious that she deserved to get punched in the face for complaining. First of all, how the heck do you know that he wasn't doing what she said: "excessively spreading". You've never rode on a subway next to some creep with his legs ridiculously far apart? Lots of thug types do it because they don't have any sense of decency or manners. Yet if you brush up against them or accidentally step on their toe, even barely, they'd go completely nuts about it.
"The victim, Sam Saia, said she was riding the N train through Bensonhurst while on her way to work in Manhattan when the man sat down and started overcrowding her around 7:45 a.m.
“He proceeded to press me against the wall and man spread me excessively,” she wrote on Facebook after the incident."
Equal rights, equal fights.
You must not get out much. Go into a big city like LA and start shooting off your mouth to total strangers. I would never recommend doing that. Only a naive fool would do that believing they’re somehow isolated from violent mental cases who enjoy others peoples pain and don’t give zip what you think.
You are making an embarrassment of yourself, and normally your standards are higher than this.
The woman wasn't “complaining.”
She was shoveling out derogatory epithets.
Perhaps she might have considered not vomiting out the “Manspreading” term and using ladylike behavior.
Just a possibility.
We will never know if that might have produced a different result because the woman was uncivil to begin with.
Don't go all Gloria Steinem on us and keep insisting there is not a predictable and earned consequence for her attitude.
Women who reject the concept of being ladies like this one did forfeit the expectation of men behaving as gentlemen.
The concept is that of a social contract. Replacing it with a sense of unbridled entitlement as this woman has done is like a Sheep looking for wolves outside the herd and charging them.
That gets what she was getting here. Through no planning of her own there was an off duty sheep dog to rescue her from the consequences she engendered.
Don’t waste your time. Little Bry-bry is only 1 IQ point above the subway dude. Bryan is obviously young, because he makes up presumptuous stories without any facts whatsoever; he opines only from his narcissistic viewpoint. He’s not much better than a garden variety liberal and I wish that FreeRepublic had less of these mental tweenies.
I didn’t know what manspreading was until this thread.
