The solution to manspreading? Assault them until they move!

mjsansai · 2015-06-07T10:05:55+00:00

Through out my youth; because of the way I was brought up in NYC, I was about 33 and ill with strep throat before I took a seat on a NYC subway. What I mean to say is that if there was anyone in need of a seat is what not me. My parents instructed me to always give my seat to the elderly, the disabled, women who are pregnant and then women. As a young man I was only allowed to sit when the subway or bus was empty. for decades I did that, but once when I was very ill, traveling back home I asked a women sitting in front of me if I could have her seat, she shunned me, I repeated it and she said no. I look along the long bench of seats and not a man in sight to ask, but all the women looked away. My Karma had not seemed to be working and indeed it did not. I suffered for the next 30 minutes to my stop with out any help or relief. Since that day, I will do nothing to help a women, disabled, pregnant or not. I should disclose that I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran (100%) disabled but it is a blind disability that you would not see and it's physical not mental. Women young and old don't care and only pay lip service to our veterans, giving up a seat when one asks for it should be enough if we all really cared about each other.

Relax, she's a liar.

Why?

See the thread with the exact same link called a Woman who sits on and kicks teenage boy called courageous.

If some random stranger sat on my lap, I'd immediately reach around and grab a handful of tit and start flicking at the nips - We'll see who wins that battle of comfort.

A few days ago, I was on the bus and this woman was pushing me pretty hard physically because I dared to put my arm up on the barrier between her seat and mine.

I told her that if she is going to hit people, she should expect to get hit. So she hit me and I hit her back.

I'm not proud of what I did, but if this woman were to do this to me, I would push her off me.

sitting on random strangers laps... sounds like some one has daddy issues.

What we'll see in the news is her doing this to the wrong knife carrying patron

Can I just say that almost every day I see woman who sit on the train and take up 2 seats with their bag. It's like they don't want ANYONE to sit next to them... I mean, who knows... they could get raped or something.

2015-06-07T19:13:08+00:00

Only one solution. Sit on women's bags when they leave it on the seat next to the. We're all about equality, right?

Frittern · 2015-06-07T16:42:53+00:00

I know men are a lot less likely to give up their seat to a women today than in decades past. I wonder if man spreading issue is just resentment from this loss of status leaking out.

MrEddyKempSir · 2015-06-07T17:32:58+00:00

Right guys, I follow this sub religiously, but some of these responses are just awful. We complain about getting a bad reputation but this really doesn't help.

We should be addressing issues that actually matter, not trivialised bullshit like this.

2015-06-07T19:31:11+00:00

How is our society and my generation so void of courage to face actual problems that we consider this to be "fighting the good fight"?

We need some sort of mass tragedy to cull these fucking retards.

The_0bserver · 2015-06-07T16:29:18+00:00

If someone sits on you (without your permission), you hav the full right of pushing the person off u no?

atomcrusher · 2015-06-07T16:56:51+00:00

Ah yes, the classic "let's counter someone being a dick by being an even bigger dick" move.

kilkil · 2015-06-07T17:50:57+00:00

This is actually kind of scary.

I mean, if I'm on the subway, and I'm unintentionally taking up space you'd like to sit in, just tell me. Don't fucking sit on me, I didn't ask for your human contact.

2015-06-07T21:39:11+00:00

Can't wait for the article about a "courageous" man telling a woman to move her purse and then kicking her and sitting on her.

Oh no wait everyone would be calling for him to be thrown in jail for assault.

Capitalsman · 2015-06-07T22:48:36+00:00

Having tasted blood, Ms Sneider went into predator mode and found her next unsuspecting victim — a teenage boy who laughed when she politely asked him to remove his bag from the only unoccupied seat. After forcing her way into the seat and delivering a kick to the teen in the process, Ms Sneider felt vindicated.

Nice to see assaulting a minor is perfectly ok for women, not to mention involving the words "predator mode" and "unsuspecting victim" between a 18+ female and a teenage boy within the same sentence and pedophilia not be brought up..

I'm amazed they managed to get a picture of a guy "manspreading" in an over the top way with people next to him, even though it's sectioned seating and his knees are past those little arm rest things. But how long until she sits on or kicks the wrong person and suddenly she is the victim of toxic masculinity?

thetallone1985 · 2015-06-07T22:56:36+00:00

someone comes up, sits on me while I'm just sitting and minding my own business? I'd ask for her name and number, and if she asked why I needed it, I'd just tell her I'm taking her to court for assault, all while recording the altercation.

ExpendableOne · 2015-06-08T14:48:03+00:00

Until that one day when one of them sits on a guy who enjoys it, and then he'd basically be the man who sexually assaulted the woman who sat on him.

AtomicBLB · 2015-06-07T14:05:43+00:00

Her name is stated as "Ms." so I'm hardly surprised by her poor behaviour. She will have that title likely until she is cold in the ground with her winning personality.

Madlibsluver · 2015-06-07T14:28:20+00:00

So, it seems like manspreading is a guy spreading his leg while being inconsiderate of those around him, yeah? Like, invading their space.

While I agree that this persons move is technically illegal, I think that it's justified to get angry at people who do that.

Edit

Not surprised

Went against the hive mind. No debate. Just down votes.

This has been my solution to "Manspreading". I've seen it twice in 2 decades of riding the buss (though not in NYC). Twice in two decades have I seen someone taking up multiple seats when the bus was standing room only. I as a 300 pound man sat in his lap, and he very quickly unoccupied his 2nd seat.

Taking action like this is perfectly reasonable when it's actually a space issue. The problem with "Manspreading" is that it's not about space. Just look at the arrests, they happen after midnight on mostly empty trains. Everyone in the entire car could lay down across 4 seats and sill have room left over.

I mean hell, look at the pic they used as an example of "Manspreading". That dude has a bag between his feet, and his knees are only a little wider than the bag with out actually taking up more than one seat. I can understand doing something when a person is taking up multipule seats on a standing room only train/bus, but this almost never happens.
