HaveRopeWillBind -> RE: Why All Men Should Be Worried By Madrid’s Manspreading Ban (6/12/2017 3:52:02 PM)

"Manspreading" is simply a comfort issue, not a display of misogyny. Men have differently shaped hips and simply don't sit as comfortably with knees together as women can. There is no anti-feminist grand design in that. (Unless you believe a greater being designed men that way simply to inconvenience inferior women. Which is a pretty crazy notion.) Just last week I was unexpectedly required to travel by bus for a good many hours. For the most part men chose to sit beside men, and women beside women, so it wasn't much of an issue really. However, when it came to taking up space the women aboard were certainly the champions with huge, multiple, carry on bags and purses. Many of the women also carried blankets and pillows, and were totally nesting and taking up as much space as they could lay claim to. By comparison most of the men carried smallish backpacks that either went in the overhead rack, or fit comfortably below their knees. If manspreading is to be prohibited, then so should female nesting, which uses up a far greater amount of available space. However, personally I don't see this as a problem. I'll simply stop bathing and no woman will sit close enough to me to care about how wide apart my knees happen to be. 😊
