A university student who won a national award for designing a chair that stops men from manspreading has faced vile rape threats.
Laila Laurel, 23, studying at the University of Brighton, created the piece of furniture to stop men from widening their legs and encroaching on other people's personal space.
In her design, two bits of wood are positioned on the seat to physically stop whoever is sitting down from moving their legs apart.
She received the award last week but says that she has been sent 'unpleasant backlash' since, with men sending explicit photos and rape threats to her Instagram account.
Ms Laurel said: 'I am getting a lot of comments on my Instagram page and lots of people are sending me private messages mostly men.
'I am just getting a lot of pictures of men's genitals. It isn't nice and it is just bizarre behaviour. I am also getting explicit messages, threatening me about rape.'

Lady you wasted a whole month inventing this when you could have invented the ultimate SAMMACH in the kitchen?
There, I said it.
Yup. She oughta be more concerned with mayonaisse spreading.
Some kinda chastity belt chair to put men in their place?
Seriously...if this is the most pressing issue in your life, you really need to get out more.
Just sayin’
Woman knows nada about man-spreading.
“In her design, two bits of wood are positioned on the seat to physically stop whoever is sitting down from moving their legs apart.”
Think of how many abortions could be prevented?

You win the internet today
Thanks Morgana. I'm glad she's getting pics sent to her that she considers distasteful. She's a sexist pig.
It is hostile architecture principles applied to furniture. It is still HOSTILE.
It is all made to literally hurt and constrain men and to force women into the form liberals are imposing on them. After all, the “women’s” chair doesn’t let them sit with their legs closed.
The only line of attack liberals will allow on this is “it doesn’t accommodate fat and disabled people”.
looks like the women’s version encourages leg spreading, whilst the men’s doesn’t. I guess some people can do it, but not others...how dumb
Feminist anti "mansplaining" device.

Back in my 40-50s yute it was opined that a dime between the knees was the best birth control.
Of course, being ‘good’ Catholic boys, we had no idea what they were talking about.
Maybe she should invent something to keep the thunder thighs and fat arses in the ONE SEAT they paid for.
Wankers.
I will probably get ‘suspended’ for pointing out that if that device is used on an airplane, when the turbulent weather sets in, some may be ‘fighting’ for that design.
Looking at the video, looks like it is OK to “woman spread” but not ok to “man spread”.
I think misogyny goes both ways...
Rotten BeeeOtch can go cry in her ridiculous chairs...
What if a male says he’s a Trans and sits in the”ladees” chair then
s p r e a d s?
Guess she prefers her men without balls.
Seems common these days.
