Feminists try to appropriate Helen Mirren for their "manspreading" sexism. They instead show photo of her deliberately sitting next to someone despite 4 seats available in the picture.

If there are plenty of empty seats why does it matter?

Meh. The dude's knee is level with his shoulder, or would be if he wasn't turning to his left. Even if "manspreading" was even a thing or worth getting upset over, this wouldn't count. Besides, there's plenty of empty seats around.

These feminists don't seem to be capable of acting like civilized humans. If there are other seats available (as in so many of the photos such as this one) you take another one. If there aren't, you say, "Excuse me please," just as you would to a woman with two purses and five shopping bags hogging three seats. Is this so difficult? The irony seems to be that it's not men who are power hungry, space-grabbers but feminists for forcing men to take only one seat when more are available.

Her coat is spreading more that his legs. Maybe she should learn some manners and stop coatspreading.

Such... * wipes tear *.... Such courage. Brave, brave woman, holding her head high beside that uncultured brute...

No curtseying, nothing.

In those Unfree Countries where one is a Subject and not a Citizen, is it somehow expected to curtsey (or bow, one would presume) to actresses for some reason?

The idea that I would show deference to some person who happened to be in a few movies is so beyond the pale, I can't even understand how anybody could hold it.

(And yes, the curtsey / bow is traditionally something those of lower rank do to higher rank. It is not just a general greeting.)

What if this were called Jew spreading. If someone argued that Jews take up to much space on the subway. That we need to control the Jew. There would be an outcry. There would be parades. And army of protesters would show up at the Mayor office.

This shows just how brainwashed society is. Male bashing is no longer confined to daytime TV. Now it is out in the open and sometimes public policy.

This is what happens when you rob a group of people of their humanity. Men are no longer people. As a result, you can treat men as second class citizens.
