"You... you just don't understand what it's like to be a woman. What if I ask him to move and he rapes me instead!? Right on the bus/tram because we live in a raaaaape culture."

"The last time I dared to speak to a man on the tram, he talk-raped at me since I didn't consent to the conversation he tried to start."

[–]StopTop 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What? Now you're just asking too much.

[–]ThePedanticCynic 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What? You mean take a little responsibility for the world around you? That's not how America does it.

[–]unklestinky 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That would require speaking to other people, and maybe using manners.

[–]ThePigmanAgain 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes, but your way doesn't promote division amongst the common folk, nor does it distract from more important issues such as class...

[–]geniice -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

You simply walk to the person and ask 'May I please have that seat?' They immediately stop spreading and let you sit there. Worked every time so far.

While it may have worked for you so far the number of attacks on public transport employees suggest that sooner or later it results in you acquiring an interesting selection of scars and having to give a bunch of witness statements.

[–]Imnotmrabut 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You "suggest" that there is evidence that shows a link between Manspreading and assault upon transport staff. How Interesting.

I've consulted the "Encyclopdeia of Self-serving Hyperbole" and can't find an entry. Could we all have the source you are using made know so that it can be peer reviewed and checked for Woozles.

[–]unklestinky 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Can you link to even one article where a man attacked a person because he was "man spreading" and they asked him politely for the seat next to him?

[–]geniice -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Are you claiming that assults on public transport are in general newsworthy?

[–]unklestinky 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

so your answer is no?

[–]Imnotmrabut 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Actually, I think you spelled that wrong. It's spelled "T R O L L" & not "No".

[–]whitemanrunning 22 points23 points24 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

They better fine fat people too...

[–]mwobuddy 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Fatspreading.

[–]augustfell 19 points20 points21 points 10 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link

I don't get it. Do you get busted if you are manspreading and you refuse to make room for someone who wants to sit down? Or are you just instantly nailed for spreading your legs, regardless of the context?

[–]geniice 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Usually the former. Such laws are actually pretty common but no one cares about the drunks sprawled across seats on the half empty late night runs. It does however give the transport operator the legal ability to do something when it becomes an issue during various peak times.

[–]EgoandDesire 15 points16 points17 points 10 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

because thats such a serious problem that can't be resolved by simply asking the person to make room.

[–]ElfmanLV 8 points9 points10 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

This is actually a very sexist comment.

[–]whatsazipper 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Is it a true statement or a false statement?

[–]dungone 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It's a completely false statement. When it comes to nagging perfect strangers about bullshit that does not affect them in any way whatsoever, women take all of the top spots for their assertiveness.

[–]whatsazipper -2 points-1 points0 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't believe assertive is synonymous with annoying, but you raise a good point.

[–]ElfmanLV 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's a statement that generalizes half the human population. Being a woman and being assertive are not mutually exclusive qualities.

[–]casemodsalt 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree.

[–]scanspeak 7 points8 points9 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Believe me. It's that ridiculous.

[–]casemodsalt 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well idk how that is since I am vehicle owner master race.

[–]iongantas 42 points43 points44 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Can we also ban women with enormously fat asses? As this is much more common of a problem.

[–]peasant_ascending 23 points24 points25 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

or ones who put their feet up on the seat in front of them and their enormous bags on the seat beside them?

[–]cortex112 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Can we also ban women with enormously fat asses? As this is much more common of a problem.

Lol no. The city council probably all have friends like these fat fem asses, or the city council all are these.

[–]socialinjusticewar 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Being a man will be against the law soon.

[–]AloysiusC 12 points13 points14 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They got it wrong. The real problem is that some poor women are even forced to use public transportation as if they were peasants. That's beneath them and an insult to their natural-born nobility.

[–]Clockw0rk 14 points15 points16 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

San Francisco is Regressive Left HQ. Full blown SJW Fascism in effect.

If any stupid motherfuckers are going to lap up misinformation and casual bigotry against men (particularly white men), it's San Fran.

[–]AloysiusC 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Rename SF to "New-Stockholm"

[–]Ultramegasaurus 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Meanwhile, bag-spreading is a-okay

[–]Azothlike 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

False.

The reason the article doesn't cite the law -- which prohibits bagspreading as well -- is because it's a biased piece of shit.

Pro tip. Next time you see an article composed of nothing but one persons whiny opinion, maybe don't give it any credit.

[–]dontpet 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The article implies any spreading could result in a fine.

[–]v573v 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

In practice it will be used to target low earning men from certain communities most likely found outside of their community.

[–]Tmomp 9 points10 points11 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

The city of San Francisco now will cite individuals (mostly men) if they take up too much space on a city bus or other forms of public transportation.

The article says "mostly men" but if the ordinance doesn't specify sex, I don't see the problem with enforcing that people don't take up more space than necessary. Men may be taller than women, but we aren't significantly wider than them.

If the rule specifies men, I have a problem with that, but not with a gender-neutral law. Or if the police are enforcing it in a sexist way.

[–]ThePedanticCynic 13 points14 points15 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Dude, all laws are enforced in a sexist way.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No different than "racial profiling." Laws cannot be enforced in a discriminatory manner.

[–]Mik3ze 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What? I will keep my legs in whatever position is most comfortable for me you freaks.

[–]Azothlike 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

We went over this a month ago. The law targets all excessive space issues, bag-spreading included. It is not a 'manspreading' law.

This article is shit. Stop getting riled up over ignorant opinion pieces as if they're facts.

[–]Prophet6000 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is some bs.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

And all the city would get is tickets wiped with my ass

[–]tacosRcool 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

So this means I have to sit like a women!?!

[–]cassalata[S] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm in disbelief

[–]chavelah 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm in disbelief that you thought such a poorly written and blatantly sexist article was the right link to share here. Did no actual journalists or literate bloggers cover this issue?

[–]Constantine_John 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This article / writer is clearly biased, and is imposing his opinion without providing supporting facts. He has stated that the law fines taking up excessive space then goes on against it as if it specified manspreading. 2/10, poor source

[–]Revoran 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah it's really terrible. The law in question applies to all forms of "spreading" (ie "bagspreading", putting your feet on the seats, laying across seats) whether the person is male or female.

That being said, I don't think a law against taking up too much space is necessary.

[–]civilsaint 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Nobody complained when Sharon Stone manspread in Basic Instinct.

Well, at least I didn't.

[–]revengeofthedirty47 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You can get ticketed here in NY for it too.

[+]casemodsalt -6 points-5 points-4 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Look at all these plebs who take public transportation.

[–]Revoran 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Sorry, we can't all leech off Daddy's trust fund like little parasites :)

[–]casemodsalt -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

owning a vehicle requires a trust fund

It's called a job, get one.

[–]Revoran 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Uh huh, sure buddy ;)

I bet you work reeeal hard with empathy like that.

[–]casemodsalt -2 points-1 points0 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm sorry what? Please just take my money and put it in the register.
