Smash the patriarchy!

New York police allegedly arrested two men for “manspreading” (sitting with their legs far apart) on the subway, according to a report entitled “That’s How They Get You” released by the Police Reform Organizing Project.

“On a recent visit to the arraignment part in Brooklyn’s criminal court, PROP volunteers observed that police officers had arrested two Latino men on the charge of ‘man spreading’ on the subway, presumably because they were taking up more than one seat and therefore inconveniencing other riders,” the report states.

Everyone pays the same amount to ride the subway. These clods don’t have any right to take more than one seat.

Check this guy out... dispelling the myth that men are the only ones guilty of ogling the opposite sex (do the fems have a clever term for that? “eye rape” or something?)...

Don’t women do anything that could be inconsiderate such as wearing very heavy perfumes?

You wouldn’t like it if you ended up standing on a long subway ride because all of the men were sitting there, taking up three seats apiece.

Then you probably lived when the place was unlivable. Rudy brought the city back by enforcing quality of life crimes—and this is one of them. The subways are overloaded with oafs taking up double or triple the seats they need.

Let the word get out that there’s a ticket in it for guys who do that, and the city will be a better place.

Actually in NYC, it’s probably the immigrant guys from Latin America and Eastern Europe with the heavy cologne that most often can be bracing.

But yeah, women have their bad habits too—though they commit just a sliver of all crimes.

Because the police state is a safe state. :-)

No—because taking up triple space on crowded public transportation doesn’t work.

I remember the controversy here over that cover. Unbelievable that this guy is still in the national consciousness.

Normally I could care less what happens in the Democratic Socialist Workers Paradise of NY but arrest? I mean cmon. How about a ticket? How about a warning lecture? Quick taze? :-)

Okay, if they’re doing the splits on the seats, it’s a problem. That’s more of an inconvenience than anything else.
