Full Title: Why do you MANSPREAD? Woman with her tape measure confronts splay-legged men on the subway about the space they consume
It is a gripe that frustrates subway riders daily: men with their legs splayed.
So one woman decided to confront male commuters about the amount of space they consume.
The investigation comes a month before New York City's MTA launches a campaign targeting 'manspreaders'.

I don’t have a problem, thank you. I do know why people who are hugely obese have such an odd way of walking though and it has nothing to do with swagger. I have walked with a 125 pound dumbbell in each hand and it certainly requires a different way of walking than merely carrying a glove on each hand.
LOL....
It’s funny, I read complaints from women in various articles about egregious behavior from men... but have personally never had to deal with it for more than 5 seconds. I’ve gone to sit down with a wide spreader... and merely stood in front of him and said “excuse me”... legs magically close, usually while grunting “sorry.” No biggie...
Cat calls? Well, I haven’t gotten them in a while... but in my youth if the comment was particularly rude, I’d reply with please say hello to your mother from me. SILENCE lol
Generally, shaming works...
That, my friends, is sexual harassment.
Problem on airplanes too with men and large people.
I figure you pay for a seat you should get the whole seat. If people want to spread out they should pay for 2 seats.
Agreed. I have shoulders much wider than most. That’s my space.

What about the woman spread Lena Dunham types take up in bed?
I'll bet money she's a democrat...
Does she go around measuring fatties? People who bring prams on board? People with bikes? I doubt it. Woe to her husband, if she has one.
LOL!
You are correct.
I travel a lot and the airplane seats are narrow and too close to each other, which makes manspreading difficult. Sometimes my nads start to ache because of this (I know tmi), so many times I have to take hold of my junk and manually shift them (I know tmi), but it is either that or continuous pain. Sorry to the gals sitting next to me, but too bad.
i think i’d be bothered more by a woman harassing me on a subway with a tape measure around the area where I’m sitting.
They are just jealous that us guys have external plumbing, unlike them. We are much easier to service, repair, inspect, overhaul and use operationally.
hehe
If women could stand up and pee there would be a lot less hostility and jealousy in the world.
Are you suggesting that they have “pee pee envy”?
Yes, and the fact is that the mechanics of the male junk do not require the man spread. The man spread is mainly aesthetic.
No, no, not at all. I am quite glad they have internal plumbing. It is just high maintenance, requires constant repairs, is cantankerous, requires constant attention, needs to go to the shop for regular inspections, monthly develops leaks which coincides with bitchy behavior.
I also wonder who designed a facility with waste water discharge immediately next to a recreational area?
Because I can.
I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK!
I sleep all night and I splay all day....
