Please stop ‘manspreading’ on public transportation, Madrid officials say

they could make equally a sign saying "don't put your purse or bags on seats".

Everyone reading this thread needs to see this:

The Q-Angle. Women have a wider q-angle, because they have a wider hip structure (to accommodate for the birth canal), whereas men have a narrow hip structure.

With wider hips, and a wider q-angle, it's more comfortable to sit with your legs crossed inwards; the femurs are naturally slanted inwards. With narrow hips, and a narrow q-angle, it's difficult and uncomfortable to cross the legs inwards; they lack that range of motion.

This manspreading campaign is an example of misandry disguised as equality. They're body-shaming people with narrow hip structures.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out already, "manspreading" is just an excuse to enforce traditional female privilege, i.e. forcing a man to give up his seat to a woman, without actually calling it traditionalism.

Also stop bagspreading then. .

"Please stop she-bagging. And using the term manspreading." -me

Yep, this is one of the biggest issues facing Spain. Sure.

McFeely_Smackup · 2017-12-02T18:31:10+00:00

if you can't figure out how to address an issue without discriminating against one group over others...you are an intellectual failure.

For those who manspread, it can barely register that they're sitting in a way that they irritates other passengers — or perhaps they simply don't care. For others who loathe the practice, it's immediately recognizable.

Men aren't monsters you make them out to be. There is legitimate scientific reason for, "manspreading" and it has nothing to do with manners.

Then tell the weather man to stop making so hot that my nuts stick to my legs! Not that I live in Madrid but I feel their pain. Besides, nuts dangle to regulate heat, and there's only so far they can go until you have to assist them. You're putting up signs telling people not to obey their natural instincts for their own health. Might as well ask them not to breathe. Fix the fucking busses and get off my nuts. /Endrant

Lol, "one body, one seat." Tell that to the fatties.

SilentKiller96 · 2017-12-02T19:41:19+00:00

What happens when two men try to sit next to each other? Does the universe explode?

Tankbot85 · 2017-12-02T20:05:06+00:00

Cool, help me come up with another way that my balls don't get crushed and we'll talk.

gabriot · 2017-12-03T00:04:04+00:00

As a frequenter of public transit, the spread legs hardly EVER is a problem, hardly anyone does it like that picture depicts. The real issue is people on their fucking cellphones such that their arms branch out and fucking mash up against you, fucking so mother fucking annoying. That and selfish assholes who put a bag on the seat next to them.

Flareprime · 2017-12-03T02:59:07+00:00

I really want someone to get punished for manspreading and take it to court. It would be funny to try to see it defined...like how many inches between your knees until it's considered a spread? All the science would come out too.

jeff_the_nurse · 2017-12-02T22:15:27+00:00

Honestly, if this is one of feminism's biggest issues, men must be pretty incredible. And you know what? WE ARE!!!!

the_man_in_charge · 2017-12-02T23:54:12+00:00

weird..

no one is sitting in the other seat , where is the problem

chambertlo · 2017-12-03T00:02:27+00:00

Then remove our balls for us, then. We sit that way to be comfortable because we have nutsacks.

ZimbaZumba · 2017-12-03T19:03:44+00:00

All of of this type thing shows the effect of the media molding social norms then thus laws. It is straight out of what Chomsky and Bernays say. There are a myriad of minor social irritants that could framed as 'emergencies', eg purses on seats.

The Men's movement needs to realise this this. The way to affect the media and the political elites is through what Chomsky calls Flack, ie complain like heck. The root way to get this happening is to promote the Men's Movement in universities. SJW's know this and will move heaven and earth to stop it from happening. This inevitably will happen, but is taking a long time.

abstractbull · 2017-12-03T03:23:34+00:00

Why can't the seats just be designed to comfortably accommodate passengers? Make them wider and we can move on with our lives.

Dank_Meems · 2017-12-04T19:50:51+00:00

I don't care how women feel because they don't care about how I feel, so I'll keep spreading.

KFAistheway · 2017-12-02T22:57:17+00:00

Try that shit in NY.

juli_ulia · 2017-12-03T04:39:08+00:00

Lmao, why is this a thing
