the habit some male NY subway riders have of spreading their legs beyond the confine of their hips to take up two, or even three, seats - is a source of increasing irritation for polite riders

So this "man spread" nonsense is a new fad then? Men only recently started doing it? Because according to the article, the irritation about it is "increasing". What did they do in the days before it had a name or got press?

These are the same people who want me to put the seat down when I’m done peeing. It ain’t gonna happen. When are women going to lift the seat when they’re done peeing.
A sister in law had a cutsie sign over her toilet. Something about men lowering the seat when done. Hell I would raise it when I just went in to wash my hands or after a deuce.

Just more wussification of America.
