Time Magazine: Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege”
Pundit Press ^ | 11/23/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/23/2014 11:57:15 AM PST by rightistight

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.”

Well played, in the general direction of Metrosexuals everywhere.

He's the kind of guy who likes to let things out in the open.

Maybe it is those oh so tight metrosexual pants that have no space for a man’s testicals, thus they have to relieve the pressure imposed on their manhood by the previous acts of hiding their masculinity.... To close their legs would literally make them the truest of metrosexual inhabinents of the city.

“Can I get some kind of medical exemption for being an old skier and motorcycle racer who doesn’t cross his legs because it’s painful?”

Ten minutes in full lotus position cures soreness.

Or not.

Yeah.

I personally think men don’t sit with their legs together for an entirely different reason, and it has nothing to do with the “patriarchy.”

I like men and I like masculinity. I despise simpering queers whose resentment over their sense of inadequacy makes them lash out like snarling lap dogs.

It’s apparent that he is only happy in a platonic way.

On the contrary - I think that women who sit with their legs crossed are suppressing their sexuality and submitting to the puritanical idealizations of our repressive white male, Judeo-Christian dominated society (or something along those lines). So all you women out there - loosen up those thighs and let your freak flags fly!

Very true, they’re not writing to actually educate anyone or expose and issue... They are writing to get past an editor, get published, and get paid, period.
