Feminist college professor plays 'patriarchy chicken' to inconvenience men on her morning commute

Charlotte Riley, who teaches history at the University of Southampton, penned an interesting op-ed in the New Statesmen last month where she literally suggested standing in the way of busy males on their morning commute to help resist perceived patriarchy in society. According to Riley, such tactics are necessary because males have naturally been raised to believe they have a “right to occupy space.” “The point is that men have been socialised, for their entire lives, to take up space. Men who would never express these thoughts out loud have nevertheless been brought up to believe that their right to occupy space takes precedent over anyone else’s right to be there,” complains Riley. “They spread their legs on tubes and trains, they bellow across coffee shops and guffaw in pubs, and they never, ever give way.” While Riley’s hatred of males is unique in that she chooses to hide her contempt in the form of refusing to move over at the train station, she also admits that reclaiming some of her “space” helps her to question potential assumptions that might be standing in the way of her success.

Good way to get her teeth knocked out.

They spread their legs on tubes and trains...

Wow.

She either was brainwashed to the hilt in one of our many indoctrination universities or jilted one too many times by the male of the species. Or both.

Not too bright either.

[abclily]

She’s jealous, because she’s not male. What a sad way to go through life!

[Bonemaker]

“The point is that men have been socialised, for their entire lives, to take up space....”

And you, madam, to waste oxygen.

Women executives are often like this. Not all, but a good number. Speaking from first-hand experience.

Women may not exhibit boorish behavior the same way as men, but they certainly have their own ways of being rude boors. Not all women are ladies.

Like you, most of the women I know are true ladies.

Maybe she carries a big purse and sets it on the seat next to her — vile beotch.

[ronniesgal]

most of the women i know don’t absolutely hate men. Or behave childishly. This always surprises me.

[Sans-Culotte]

An Andrea Dworkin type.

I had a chance to mow over a woman pulling this crap two days ago. She was walking shoulder to shoulder with her husband on a sidewalk that was wide enough for two. As I passed in the opposite direction, she didn't step aside. I plowed her over and her wuss of a husband didn't say a thing. I was ready to drop one, or both.

This game is also played by minorities...lingering in side walks and cutting you off and standing in your way in stores.

She’s suffering from what Jonathan Winters said put him in the loony bin for a while. She’s starting to believe her own shit.

[IronJack]

Stand in the way, get pushed out of the way. Literally as well as figuratively.

“...standing in the way of busy males on their morning commute to help resist perceived patriarchy in society...”

Sounds like Sweetcheeks has some serious mental issues and is a danger to others as well as herself.

[NFHale]

Yup. There they are. Crazy eyes.

Notice all leftardniki look alike?

Every white male in all of her classes should stand up, give the Middle Finger Salute, and walk out, then demand a refund of the tuition for that class.

She lives and practices her stationary-kamikaze assaults in Britain. In America, guys would put up with it one day. The next, she'd be dead meat if she tried it again.

Americans just don't have time for such blather as the guys who ride the tubes and wear English leather apparently do. (A clue as to why soccer means football in the land that lost two wars to America.)

[faturism]

Hmmm, methinks someone needs to get laid
She sounds very frustrated

[faturism]

Seems to me that a man has just as much right to occupy space as a woman..it’s called equality....again, someone needs to get laid/

[LongWayHome]

Can’t even imagine sitting in her class.

[LongWayHome]

Parents need to see just what these kids are exposed to in class. Waste of money.
