Hey yo, I wonder if Mr. Sally Kohn employs the "manspread" and part of his bro move set, yo.

You might not think that it’s appropriate for the government to launch a campaign telling men how to sit on the subway. Well guess what? You’re wrong.
If you “manspread” on the subway (which, by the way, means to sit with your legs apart, in case you are a fixture of the patriarchy who doesn’t educate himself on important women’s issues), you are doing so much more than taking up space.
Here’s what’s really going on with manspreading, as explained by some of the bright, forward-thinking minds on the Feminist Internet:
1. Manspreading is saying, “Who gives a f*** if you can’t sit, [we] are men. See [our] balls.”

Little girls are shamed into sitting “like young ladies” and maybe this bunch forgets that it isn’t natural to sit with your knees squeezed tightly together. I guess it could be worse, they could have gone the other way on this issue (tiptoes away!)
Great minds ;)

What “manspread” means is “I own the space around me.” I do. I always will. Get over it, Malcontents—or don’t. Frankly, I don’t give a damn.
If a man has a certain attitude of This is my space, and I own this for the moment, good for him.
Really.
Sure, there are boorish men and women who impose themselves on others, and need to be dialed down. But for the masculine male who is showing that he is a man by owning his bit of the world and demonstrating a measure of power, good for him.
Guys, Go to the article in National Review then take the time to Google Images of these Lesbians and Queers in the article. It’s laughable!
One guy brags about crossing his legs while standing! Yea, you get the point!
Why do I not stand with my legs crossed? Because my nuts hurt!
And the Guinness Book of World Records award for the tightest crossed legs of all time goes to...this babe right here!
Just watching her show causes sympathetic pain and severe discomfort in all males and even in some pseudo males.
And it always reminds me of that old song that goes "You keep on knockin' but you can't come in..."
The fact that they have to search for non-issues like this to harp about means that feminists are basically obsolete.
Nice, comfortable life for those who actually lose sleep over mundane matters like this.
Exactly.
Just because their best girlfriend, Barack, can sit like a lady doesn’t mean all men can.
I remember in college, I got to a door just before an approaching female, I opened it and waved for her to pass me. The only thing she had to say was, “I can do that myself thank you!”.
I remember wondering how somebody could have such a snarky response to such a benign act of civility?
I had no idea what was out there.
...then I looked up “radfem” and my mind exploded.
blood engorged mayonnaise cannon— when it's found, it'll be hilarious.
What “manspread” means is “I own the space around me.”

That is exactly what it means. And it can either indicate proper self-confidence, or it can be anti-social if it intrudes into other’s space, or takes up more than one seat when seating is scarce.
Now take three young men traveling together, usually black in my experience, slouched down on their tailbones, knees out, two of them sitting with three empty seats in between them, and the other across from them. They have claimed a fifth of the subway car as their space.
I’ll take the suburbs and my car over all the things I endured on public transportation, where “manspreading” ranks low on the annoyance scale, but typifies the experience. Now my rare excursions on the subway offer me a kind of anthropological amusement at the quaint customs and rudeness of city dwellers, but I am so grateful not to deal with it daily.
Well maybe they need to bring back the codpiece to protect the family jewels from being squeezed .
I think men generally, in contrast to women, assume that they own the space around themselves.
The strap-on crowd sounds envious.
