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.”

Actually the guy doesn’t advocate men crossing their legs at all. Merely that they don’t spread their legs so widely that they take the leg room of people on either side of them.
Not an unreasonable request, IMO.
That pic shows the preferred style of subway riding by schoolgirls. AT least it was last I rode regularly.

Once again the line between satire and a real story is blurred.

Not in mine. We file it. Circular file. Immediately on arrival. All three copies they send us gratis that we never requested.
When a woman is looking at your crotch on the subway, tell her “my eyes are up here”.
Previously they said that slut shaming was a bad thing and not an invitation to look.
Funny, I didn’t know that Scotland had any subways...
A man wrote that article? His mama raised a sissy.

There’s still a Time Magazine? Why? More people read this on FR that read it in the magazine.
“Indeed, chest hair, beards, broad shoulders, swaggers, confidence and all.”
Absolutely!

I freak out when a TV ad shows guys removing hair from their chests and arms! Is that freaky to the ladies as well?
I don't like it. Now, I'm not personally in love with the hairyback gorilla look, but a man is supposed to have chest and arm hair. They need to leave it alone.
Where I live, men shave their faces, and that's it!
