You have a problem with manspreading. I have a problem with seat hogging. You dont need to make everything a gender issue.

The terms mansplaining and manspreading are so 2012 they are an embarrassment to the feminist movement, proving many of it's enemies correct as feminism is anti-male.

Stand next to her an let out a violent fart

See I usually do this, unless the train or bus I am currently on I'd getting crowded and then I remove the item to my lap.

If I am on the other side of the situation, i.e. the person who wants a seat I would politely say to the individual "excuse me, would you mind moving your bag so I can sit down?"

Only had one person in the entire time I have used public transport kick off about that.

Fun Fact: I’ve had to stand on the bus because of this and I’m not tall enough to reach that bar thingy and so I may or may not have flown when the bus stopped… results: a bruise

The “manspreading” issue is also just overblown. Yes, some men spread their legs a little too much, but if that’s the problem, just tell them that you need space! You can be nice about it instead of making it a national crisis, especially when we have actual issues going on. We have widespread poverty, gang violence, mass incarcerations, we might be at war with China or Russia if not both of them in ten years or so!

When any feminist/woman tells me to stop manspreading, I just tell them it’s my body, my choice Then I just smile as they realise it's equality, but not as they want it.

Mansplaining is the appropriate response to femsplaining...

I just dont wanna crush my balls

Mr---Noodles · 2022-02-13T00:39:00+00:00

that point its time to just grab the bag and throw it to the back than just sit down

Man-Spreading actually has science behind it. Heat diminishes/kills semen production. Want children? Shut up about man-spreading. Then you'll be able to conceive children. If you don't want children, then I guess you don't have a "horse in that race".

This is why I don't take my life-advice from activist teenagers (in fact, some never grow past this), no matter how many times people robotically say, "But...They're the future!" They're also missing decades of life-experience and are patently idealistic (and supposedly "indestructible" of you ask them).

Everyone starts out as an "intellectual moron", known as infancy/childhood, until there's decades of education and life-experience. These 2 create "wisdom". If either ones missing, "wisdom" is rarely ever achieved.

This is a perfect example, OP. The scope is much broader, this can be applied to a lot of hyper-feminist rethoric. It really bothers me when an [Asshat] problem is made a [Men] problem.

Stop womenvading seats

Arcanisia · 2022-02-13T06:38:15+00:00

I always ask them to move their bag. I had one guy who tried to ignore me acting like he didn’t hear me so I moved his backpack onto his lap and sat down.

SapperChimo · 2022-02-13T20:18:13+00:00

Walk up to her and say "Move your bag" and then sit. She'll get up and leave.

judasfire · 2022-02-13T05:38:19+00:00

Just come to Europe , apparently if you're a man you always have to give a seat to a woman , if you don't everyone gives the evil eye. Its like the seats are not meant for men to use , the women own the seats.

Sometimes women will even stand right next to your face , to hint that you are "obliged" to give a place for her to sit down , they don't do that to their fellow women though.

One time I had this same exact situation in a bus , the woman had her bag just like this , and the seat next to her was empty , I told her nicely can you please move the bag so I can sit here , with a confused face she told can you find somewhere else to sit I don't wanna move my bag , I insisted I wanted to sit there , and the whole ride she was pushing her arms into me , just so I can feel uncomfortable and get up...

Crazy shit with some females in this world...

SuperStateSamBamCam · 2022-02-13T13:38:11+00:00

Actually... let's make it a gender issue! Women 'womanvade' seats as a way to show men who's in charge in public spaces, to intimidate men and procure our submission. It's all part of the complex, ubiquitous system of domination and control that is the matriarchy.

tbmepm · 2022-02-13T08:49:12+00:00

I think the big problem these feminists doesn't understand is that we have a dick and balls. The testicles are extremely sensitive to pressure and heat and change size and sensitivity a lot over the day. If they get to much heat and/or to much pressure it can lead to pain and infertility. That's why men automatically start to spread their legs when the body recognizes the need too. Women want acceptance of their bodily disadvantages, and if they are fair they have to recognize the need of "manspreading". If it were the other way 'round and man would complain about women having to do this to prevent them from pain and infertility, there would be a big backlash. "Don't tell us how to sit. My body. My fertility."

Starmind0 · 2022-02-13T12:44:30+00:00

Men can do whatever they want.

Inevitable_Brain9852 · 2022-02-13T16:17:37+00:00

The only difference is guys have an actual reason to keep their legs apart. And as long as we keep our legs close to us there is no problem.

“Manspreading” isn’t an issue.
