An article blasting the Facebook group 'Women who eat on the Tube'. Where was the outrage from the Left over that one about men taking up too much space on the Tube?

Actually, the author was not so crazy about the men sitting on the train site either. She is consistent. Sometimes we are so fast to jump on people, we dont really examine the situation thoroughly.

Had a massive argument the other day about this. Apparently making men feel bad about themselves is fine, but making women feel bad about themselves is totally not on.

I played the "it's legal" card too. That got turned into "OMG! You're such a 2 dimensional dickhead!"

All in all it amounted to "women get hassle all of the time, men don't, therefore this isn't cool but those men websites are fine"

I'm on the left, and I was somewhat outraged.

Not sure I understand the fb group. I think eating on the subway is gross and inconsiderate, but are they taking a different position (as in, liking these women)?

Someone should post a link to moveover bro, or whatever that dumblr thing is.

I really wish you would stop making these issues left/right issues. They're not. Plenty of MRA's are leftists, such as myself. Just because crazy feminists identify as leftists doesn't mean all leftists agree with them, just like I'm sure all of you people on the right don't agree with Fox News and Ted Nugent.

Such outrage for something so mundane. I wonder if she was as pissed with TubeCrush, where women take pictures of guys they think are hot? You know, that one where women objectify men. Naa, I doubt she gave a shit about that facebook page.
