Time Magazine has declared that men who are able to sit and not cross their legs are a “manifestation of patriarchal privilege.”
In an article called, “‘Man Spreaders,’ There’s No Excuse for Not Closing Your Legs on the Subway,” Time’s Etiquette section slammed men who do not sit with their legs together. But more than it being impolite and against etiquette, there is a much bigger problem with men like this: they are proliferating “the patriarchy.”
The article explains that men sitting with their legs apart “is the most visual manifestation of patriarchal privilege and that is why it is especially angering.”
...The author, Brian Moylan, then states that people don’t like men with their legs apart because “everyone” thinks of the oppression of women: “It says to everyone, “I find this comfortable and I am a man so my comfort comes before all else in this entire universe and especially you.” That’s why people hate this.”

The fag on the left or the fag on the right?
I think men who cross their legs seem feminine. Putting one ankle on a knee isn’t as bad, but men crossing their thighs is gross. It weirds me out. JMO
The crossing of the legs of the guy on the right is gross.
That they are holding hands is even worse. :( Our poor country.
Disguating urine? I`ll have you know I only disguat into the bowl! My aim is im-pecker-able!
Bwahahahaha!
Oh man, that cracked me up!
Great post!
One of things that I have noticed over the years is that people that read “Time” also read the “New York Times”.
The probable with this is that they don’t know anyone that doesn’t read these rags. So when they wander out of their enclaves they are shocked and amazed that people don’t conform to their idea of humanity.
Group think is a terrible thing.
So I guess he expects men from now on to sit like they teach girls in charm and etiquette school. Legs crossed demurely at ankle with their little hanny pats grasped together and resting on their lap. Oh, and don’t forget to cock the head shyly to the right and show off your Mona Lisa smile.
Besides, it`s only being polite. I mean say you`re out in public after a hard night of drinking and you have the Hershey Blasts, you gotta stand to wash the back of that bowl down for the next guy, right? I mean really, dude!
As opposed to you needing to show your package to everyone?
Whichever. So long as my package is being viewed, I don’t care who initiated it.
HELP !
I forget his name.
.
So, even if I were to start sitting on the toilet to piss, I should also cross my legs?
It’s on the lower right of the pic.
Then you are the only one!
Ba-da-BUM!
I see it-—thanks.

What a fag.
