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.”

You can just tell them to go **** themselves...
As amusing as that image is, it really doesn’t belong here.
I think a man, like the fellow obsessed with crossed legs, is checking a guys crotch, the space between them, and his posture when sitting, has a different type of, ahem...interest than just a nonsensical argument.
I’ve never seen a guy cross his legs at the knee, and when he does cross them, they are crossed ankle at knee, definitely taking up more space.
Being a woman, I would guess that left or right orientation, there is a very specific reason, or two, that men do not cross their legs at the knees like women, IMHO.
Countdown to Bro Cracker’s lovely $hit eatin’ image getting the hook ...

For one, I greatly appreciate men who don’t cross their legs like women. You want to have your ankle to knee...that’s perfectly fine. I can’t imagine a guy wanting to crush his junk.
Put yourself in the mindset of some fanatic jihadi who has sworn to kill Americans. What do you suppose they think of all this emasculating crap
Brian Moylan is a metrosexual and probably watches Oprah and the View.

So...let me get this straight. The "experts" say I have an open attitude, but numb nutz has a closed attitude and that I am confident or dominant, while he is scared and uncertain. Because of that, I should be ashamed and less intimidating.
Yeah...right.
I'll get right on it.
“If the author doesn’t have anything better to do in his/her life -...”
The author probably needed cash. Writing flame bait, especially geared toward a publication is a good way to do it. Writers write to fit a publication’s slant. You wouldn’t submit this type of screed to Woman’s Day or literary journal.
On second thought, maybe Woman’s Day.
An alternative of course is to wear pants instead of a skirt.
its no wonder we never see any Time magazines anymore
And Time mag has also had numerous recent stories about Gruber, right?
“People want to know...what do other think of authors who write...with their EYES CROSSED?”
Crossed eyes are merely a “disability”, possibly making the person a member of a “protected class”.
However, when those eye whirl, and the person begins to drool, their veracity vanishes.
Just my opinion.
After my back surgery, I was advised to not sit with my legs crossed by my surgeon. Do I need to carry a note?
