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.'

What if a man has the b@!!$ to refuse to EVER sit in the pos? Looks to me like a product with no buyers. Or at least it SHOULD be.
Trannies can sit in either type of chair. Right? Like bathrooms. Am I catching on?
Or just declare you are confused genderwise today and plop your ass down in whichever seat suits you.
Most men would look at it and simply turn it around and sit with the back in the front.
Dopey broad...needs to learn how to iron her own clothes first.
The whole idea is silly, and if that is the best design the inventor could come up with she wasted her time and money in college.
Trying to control the world by telling people how to sit is nonsensical. How would women feel if men made them sit in the chair which prevents them from placing their legs together? Probably like the woman in the second photograph who feels the need to place her hands so that they block what would otherwise be in view.
This stupid cow won an award from other stupid cows because she devised a torture chair for men? I’m outraged and appalled.
What is a woman with a penis supposed to do? How transphobic of her!
Just another little girl who was uncomfortable going through puberty and never got over it.
Wasn’t that “the best birth control pill is an aspirin held between the knees”?
The slut doesn’t need a chair to spread her legs.
Is she one of those castrate-all-men dykes? She gave the female chair more space to help air out the gingivitis down there too.
That is a remarkable collection of vaginas on the wall behind her.
Gone are the days when women could choose to sit with knees primly together, or with legs crossed.
Now, the moment the butt hits the chair, the legs cross automatically.
The Fox girls on “Outnumbered” are an example, though I think the show should be renamed “Boxed In”.
;^)
Am I the first to say the following? I smell HOAX for propaganda purposes.
Don’t know where that display was at. Looks
like an arena or maybe an airport hanger. Just
showing her wares....
Its technically misanthropy (hatred of men) and common on the left.
I would rather stand then sit in that torture device...

There is a short video at the link. The people look acutely uncomfortable.
This young women, who thinks she is an inventor, is very self absorbed, not too bright and quite hostile to both men & women. Forcing women’s legs apart & coercing men to sit as though they were gelded is desirable to her because that promotes her chosen stereotypes. Their discomfort is irrelevant as is her lack of the right to coerce them. A typical brain dead leftist.
I’ll betsshe won’tssell more than five of both designs in total.
The antimanspreading chair is begging to be reduced to flinders.
The woman sitting with her legs spread apart appears to be asking for company. The guy looks like some beta male seeking approval.
