Full Title: Why do you MANSPREAD? Woman with her tape measure confronts splay-legged men on the subway about the space they consume
It is a gripe that frustrates subway riders daily: men with their legs splayed.
So one woman decided to confront male commuters about the amount of space they consume.
The investigation comes a month before New York City's MTA launches a campaign targeting 'manspreaders'.

Give the guys an aspirin.
Ann Landers suggested that for women to help them keep there’s legs together.
(...jeez...I’m giving away my age...)
A good cartoon would be the 8-seat bench on a subway taken up by four people: 2 fat women and 2 men in the macho pose, each taking up 2 seats.
There also used to be the broadsheet spreaders, holding out the New York Times at its full breadth. No one reads the paper anymore, thank goodness.
You’re right about the size of the seats, but it isn’t always that people are fatter in this country. People might not be fat, but maybe they have broad shoulders or just a wider body in general — such as a football player. I don’t know about elsewhere, but most of our local buses are built in Japan where people tend to be more compact.
I sleep all night and I splay all day....
“I see that a lot with obese men. Some of them swagger around like Sumo wrestlers.”

It has nothing to do with swaggering, it is how they have to move. Try strapping a hundred pounds of weights on and see how you move.
Imagine the fracas if a guy was on a subway measuring and commenting on the width of women’s behinds?
Just take the weight off and there won't be a problem.
The woman is a reprehensible pervert who’s actions equate sexual harassment. She deserves an appropriate response for acting out on her sick, freakish fetishes.
Men should pull together as a group with a united response, something along the lines of putting women back in their box, back in their place, subordinate.
Every time we hear another example of misandry, we should respond with something terrifying to them to just shut them up. PERIOD. Something that will result in a lessening of their position in society...to see if they like it.
A good offense may be the best defense for men. Time for us to assert some muscle, culturally. See if they wanna play rough. But we must hang together as a group.
I’d give her something she could measure.
The woman is someone’s ex-wife. She needs mental help.
I agree with the guy who said he`d look her dead in the eyes, tell her to F-off and open them wider.
I’d ask her why she’s always whorespreading.
She had a tape measure not a micrometer....
LOL. that was too easy.
“Manspreading”?!?
That rule about never hitting a woman? Doesn’t say ya can’t push her out of a moving train.
Is that her bellybutton peeking out from the hem of her dress? MING!
LOL. that was too easy.
No, you'll have to be more specific.
