One like Blackadder wore?

There are only a few sure things we can count on in this crazy, ever-changing world: The moon's regal orbit around the earth. The gentle change of the seasons. And the fact that, on any given subway car, there will be at least one man with his legs spread across multiple seats. A problem as frustrating as it is mysterious, the man who takes up multiple seats on public transit with his splayed-out legs inspires all sorts of questions among his fellow riders: Is the leg-spreader exercising his male privilege, or, as some defenders would have you believe, merely attending to the unique spatial requirements of his balls? Is he blocking off empty seats to his left and his right with his knees out of obliviousness, or passive-aggressive malice?
(snip) --- And yet, despite all that scrutiny, I found that I still had questions about the dudes I saw stretching out daily, luxuriating on pee-smelling rush-hour trains as if they were fine European spas. Did it actually feel good to stretch out like that? Physically? Emotionally? Would it feel good if I did it? Would people be angry that a woman was slouched and spreading? Would I even care?
I decided, for the length of one weekend, to become a slouch-and-spreader. To truly understand the phenomenon, I decided I'd act like the worst examples I had encountered in my own commuting life: I wouldn't budge for a knee nudge or exasperated expression. I would hold my ground. I would embody the worst of slouch-and-spread assholery to the letter. I would try very hard to imagine that I had balls, and that those balls were desperate for air. And by the end of the weekend, I hoped to understand what made the slouch-and-spreaders slouch and spread.

From looking at her, reading a little about her, she proably hasn't jogged 100 yards in her life.
She seems like a lazy body type ....but, a pretty darn good writer.
Bring back the codpiece.
One like Blackadder wore?
Them too.
Hilarious!
It is geometric: the pelvic configuration and alignment makes that the default; women have an opposite default.
It is nature, not bigotry. But leftists hate nature.
Why do women cry at weddings?
Sometimes the answer is just: “because we do.”
*s*
“Yes, dear; you are discriminating against trannies.”
You’re discriminating against those who don’t like mentally ill homosexuals.
Discrimination is discrimination.
lmao...

Allow me to try to explain the writer's motive without you getting upset.
Firstly, the writer wrote this article with not a small degree of humor throughout it.
If you had read the entire article, you would have noticed that.
She DID NOT write it because she thinks men are being bigoted by spreading their legs on a subway. Understand?
Your and others constant knee-jerk reaction placing many people into a "hating leftist" category is lame, and makes you look foolish.
The article was written with an obvious thread of humor (not bigotry) throughout.
You are over reacting like a conservative snowflake (and I didn't even know there were any).
****
Have a pleasant new year, and feel free to spread those legs unless there's a hockey puck coming your way.

The best man lost the wedding ring?
Is that the one Howard Hughes made for Jane Russell?
I went to school with a girl whose aunt was Jane Russell; When Miss Russell came to town, on a few occasions, it was a big, big deal. [1050s]. She was a very nice person, in spite of her fame and wealth, or so it seemed.
My friend's parents raised Dobies; Miss Russell loved the Dobies and they loved her. No other endorsement is necessary, IMO.
Exactly.
My shoulders are broader than many women.
Most airlines, buses, stadiums, don’t provide enough shoulder space for grown men to sit side by side.
I cannot cross my legs unless it’s a ‘figure 4’, so, I sit with my legs open most of the time to make sure I’m not pressuring certain nerves that extend outside my torso.
It’s not rocket science, it used to be called COMMON SENSE.
Great story. And, she was beautiful.
