What's your take on manspreading?

It's necessary due to the physiological nature of men, and should be incentivized.

I don't think it should be incentivized, but it's definitely okay to leg spread, even on crowded places.

Manspreading is objectively bad and men should mind their own space when sitting around women.

But then you find that people lecture you on your entitlement for merely electing to free yourself from evident pain.

The proper and natural state of man is pain, obviously.

Actually, that might be true. Shit, made myself sad.

A quick solution is castration!

Nobody’s mentioned that insane lady who went around pouring bleach on a train or bus or something on men that were manspreading’s penises.

No one mentioned her because that is assault.

I really don't know why people find it strange that folks who actually have things between their legs tend to have them more spread.

I'm not going to squish my balls just to appease some angry feminists. Sorry.
Yes, yes, I get it. I'm racist and fascist because I disagree with you. Can we skip that part? I've heard it a million times before and I guarantee it won't be any different when you do it

Not a criminal offence, but companies design rules that customers have to follow all the time. There are so many news stories of people racially-abusing people on the New York Subway and getting banned from using the service. Even if something isn't criminally-prohibited, as a company you have to develop rules prohibiting people from doing things that inconvenience your other paying customers. Companies should do the same thing here. If an obstinate asshole refuses to close his legs or stop intruding into other seats when asked, he shouldn't get to ride for a certain period of time as a deterrence. Your other customers deserve better than to have to put up with this inconsiderate and selfish nonsense.

I am pretty sure that if the bus is full and someone is refusing to move and making a scene out of it they will be made to leave the bus anyway. That is already a thing that happens.

Now I know you don't ride NYC Transit regularly. They actually had to put up signs on all trains and buses telling people that assaulting drivers conductors, and MTA workers is a felony punishable by 7 years in prison.

Think about why that would be necessary.

Yes, I already stated as much a while ago, considering I don't live there. Again, I never saw anything like that during my stay and use of the system, nor have I had any issue regarding other systems of people immediately turning violent when asked to move.

Ever think that there are other reasons that are not just caused by people being asked to move?
