Assholes will be assholes. That's a fact. This is also a fact: It's mostly men engaging in the behavior. I see it, and I've done it. Can't deny it.

I don't think this is done to "expressly" oppress women. I think it's unconscious and indicative of a larger issue in society.

I, too, have felt assaulted by feminists. I don't like being an oppressor, or a "bad guy." I'm not a bad guy, and neither are the majority of us. I know you're going to hate this, but the quote, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." is true.

Minority groups, people who weren't given as much as I have, are finding a voice and speaking up. I find it frightening, but I realize that things change, and I can either hop on board or make it really difficult for those around me.

These are my thoughts.

taking more than one seat is just plain rude

If the public transit is busy/near full, sure

Men tend to do it more than women

Citation needed. I've used a good bit of public transit, and while I certainly haven't counted, there's a shit-ton of women with purses and handbags they give their own seat.

I think our entitlement to space

Why are you assuming men feel more entitled to space than women?

but women have broader hips

The hips don't fucking matter, nobody ever claimed it was people hips taking up too much space. This is 100% irrelevant, it is the legs that are taking up more than one seat

there's absolutely no reason to sit with your legs at a 120 degree obtuse angle.

This is very much the exception, especially for taller dudes even a 60ish degree angle (right around what's comfortable) can be enough to spill over to the seat beside you.
