"Because you spread out like a melting chocolate button....
That's because we have two dangly bits between our legs. "
So don't sit knees together, but manspreading is when a guy takes up the space of 2-4 women.
Even if your cock is that big, you're being an arsehole. |

I think there is misunderstanding of what 'manspreading' is.
That's when you have your legs apart (only legs, no elbows etc) to sit comfortably without squashing your balls, nothing to do with the size of your cock either.
That said if a woman sits next to me or I'm sitting next to one, I do try to be conscious about it.

"Try sitting on the tube or a train next to a man spreader and you'll understand - legs spread wide apart, both arm rests hogged - it's no fun"
I was just going to say this, it happens all the time, especially on the tube! |

"Every time I've seen the word "manspreading" used, it's about excessive spread. "
Which a normal person would see as sexist because excessive spreading isn't exclusive to men.
One person uses the term wrong and the sheep follow. |

My experience on planes is that, with one notable exception the problem for me has every other time been caused by men. |

I have muscular thighs and sit with my legs slightly apart. Slightly. Very, very slightly.
If your cock is so big you need to do the splits (I'm not talking about legs apart, I'm talking about taking up 2-4 full seats) then speak to your doctor. |

I don't think anyone is trying to do that - just picking up on something *some* men do which is very irritating, even to me as a man it is - and it has nothing to do with not squashing balls, I manage to sit perfectly comfortably with my legs together on the tube without doing so.
As for the bags on seats thing that's not exclusive to women either - man's the time on a packed commuter train I've had to ask men and women if they'd mind awfully moving their bag. |

I don't do this that I know of, certainly not intentionally.
Someone mentioned aeroplane seats, this is a real problem for me. I'm not a small guy and my my shoulders do encroach into the seats each side. |

Or the men guilty of this could show a little more courtesy and consideration?
Because what you are saying is that your entitlement to take up as much space as you like is more valid than someone else's right to take what should be an empty seat? |

People rant about all sorts of things on social media - in fact it could be argued that you are ranting on social about people that rant on social media!!
People have been ranting about ridiculous things since long before social media - letters to The Times, talk show phone ins and more - it's really nothing new, or worth getting in a lather over |

It is ridiculous. For example my shoulder width is wider than that of many seats on public transport and I know women who are as broad as me. But also so is the hysterica from men panicing about people calling it. I mean how many people have actually seen someone kicking off at a man for man spreading on a daily basis about a supposed man spreader? I doubt very many, just some twats on Twitter who want attention. Most normal people with any sense knows it's bull shit. So the men panicing about being called out are just as daft as the people calling it. It's a very sex targeted accusation for something people of all genders do. So to specifically target men and insinuate that it's indicadent of men sits on the verge a hate crime against men. The people who perpetuate it do them seem to be focused on a sex war and have a very negative outlook on men.
I think on the whole it's something of nothing. But it suits fools of both sides, the man haters and the MGTOW types. Both sets of idiots kind of need each other. As for the rest of us with common sense it's not a sex issuse just and issuse of poor manners, lack of space and/or lack of consideration for others. |

Of course. But who is being sterotyped? Your posts (and others) make it pretty obvious you do this and are really not liking being called out on it. Conversely it's pretty obvious other men on this thread don't.
I don't see all men being stereotyped here I see some men being called out on a specific behaviour that is arguably gender specific. And I also see some men getting disproportionately upset. |

So I should stand or sit next to a woman? Because the man next to me is so inconsiderate that he can't close his legs a little! |

yes but the balls are the obstacle that makes us spread our legs and I suppose unless you have them it's a tad difficult to visualise |

"Because you spread out like a melting chocolate button....
That's because we have two dangly bits between our legs.
Semantics, just keep em closed....you don't need three seats one for your arse and one for the run away legs...
Exaggeration, poor way of trying to get your point across.
How is it? You see it every day.....a guy sat on a seat, one leg covering the right seat one leg covering the left seat....his tooshy in the middle.....exaggeration I think not...
Just like you see women getting on the bus, sitting on one seat and placing their massive handbag on the other.
Don't try to give me this, the men are bad bollocks
I don't think anyone is trying to do that - just picking up on something *some* men do which is very irritating, even to me as a man it is - and it has nothing to do with not squashing balls, I manage to sit perfectly comfortably with my legs together on the tube without doing so.
As for the bags on seats thing that's not exclusive to women either - man's the time on a packed commuter train I've had to ask men and women if they'd mind awfully moving their bag.
So the logic here is,
Some men spread excessively on public transport, lets make a sexist term for it and rant on social media. - Because we don't already have enough problems with stereotyping people. Good job
Can I ask why you are getting so defensive?
I really hope that's a hypothetical question
You do realise, stereotyping is bad, right? Right? Right??????
Of course. But who is being sterotyped? Your posts (and others) make it pretty obvious you do this and are really not liking being called out on it. Conversely it's pretty obvious other men on this thread don't.
I don't see all men being stereotyped here I see some men being called out on a specific behaviour that is arguably gender specific. And I also see some men getting disproportionately upset."
I take up the entire fucking bus mate, not just 2 seats, my ego is actually so massive, the driver exits and I steer the train, bus, tube all by myself.
When someone defends himself and fights against stereotyping and sexist terms he's automatically the biggest twat on the forums here, the mind boggles |

So don't sit knees together, but manspreading is when a guy takes up the space of 2-4 women.
Even if your cock is that big, you're being an arsehole.
I think there is misunderstanding of what 'manspreading' is.
That's when you have your legs apart (only legs, no elbows etc) to sit comfortably without squashing your balls, nothing to do with the size of your cock either.
That said if a woman sits next to me or I'm sitting next to one, I do try to be conscious about it.
"
Poor explanation - it's when a man takes up a grossly disproportionate amount of public space, typically by spreading his legs apart into areas that others should be respectfully afforded.
It's an element of disrespect towards other people, the.inadequate perpetrator having dismal social grace. Any such man should seek medical checks and wear restrictive genital devices at all times, until castrated. |

"If you don’t like it don’t sit beside men Fucking simple
What!!!
How ridiculous, so if a man sits next to me and spreads his legs.. I have to stand!!
He didn't say you had to stand. You could choose (where possible) to sit beside women.
You try choosing on the tube, plane or train! I can't stand on the tude as I'm too short to reach the handrails, that are on the ceiling.
I have done on all public transport, except planes. On the latter I usually sit beside friends or family.
So I should stand or sit next to a woman? Because the man next to me is so inconsiderate that he can't close his legs a little! "
If you're not comfortable verbalising your discomfort, then yes they may be your best options. |

And why do these acorns require such a disproportionate amount of space? Is it like, the smaller the dick the more you have to overcompensate via spreading?  |

I'm not sure comments like "don't give me all this men ate bad bollocks" when nobody had mentioned 'all men' or implied that they were 'bad' is fighting against anything. Looking back through the thread all I can see is that, as you say you are defending yourself but that seems to be by attacking other people.
At the end of the day the fact that you felt that you had to defend yourself (your words) speaks volumes about why as several people have said you appear so angry in your responses |

"It's all nonsense. The only people who normally get worked up about it are the man haters and MGTOW types. Both are fools, both feed of each other."
Actually I think anyone that doesn't do this and commutes on crowded public transport gets pissed off on this.
If I'm on a half empty tube or train I really couldn't give a fuck what other people are doing. But on a crowded one when people are standing and some arsehole is spread across multiple seats be that because of their legs, their bags or sitting on the outside seat I'm going to judge that person as a selfish fucker. |

So I should stand or sit next to a woman? Because the man next to me is so inconsiderate that he can't close his legs a little!
If you're not comfortable verbalising your discomfort, then yes they may be your best options.
That is ridiculous! Who said I didn't verbalise it, I do it regularly!
Sorry, I'm not a mind reader.
Does verbalising it solve the problem?
No so don't assume!
Sometimes, sometimes I get verble abuse.
I didn't assume, I asked if it worked.
Read your posts again, you did!
I see an 'if' at the start of my post. That's not an assumption. "

"Because you spread out like a melting chocolate button....
That's because we have two dangly bits between our legs.
Semantics, just keep em closed....you don't need three seats one for your arse and one for the run away legs...
Exaggeration, poor way of trying to get your point across.
How is it? You see it every day.....a guy sat on a seat, one leg covering the right seat one leg covering the left seat....his tooshy in the middle.....exaggeration I think not...
Just like you see women getting on the bus, sitting on one seat and placing their massive handbag on the other.
Don't try to give me this, the men are bad bollocks
I don't think anyone is trying to do that - just picking up on something *some* men do which is very irritating, even to me as a man it is - and it has nothing to do with not squashing balls, I manage to sit perfectly comfortably with my legs together on the tube without doing so.
As for the bags on seats thing that's not exclusive to women either - man's the time on a packed commuter train I've had to ask men and women if they'd mind awfully moving their bag.
So the logic here is,
Some men spread excessively on public transport, lets make a sexist term for it and rant on social media. - Because we don't already have enough problems with stereotyping people. Good job
Can I ask why you are getting so defensive?
I really hope that's a hypothetical question
You do realise, stereotyping is bad, right? Right? Right??????
Of course. But who is being sterotyped? Your posts (and others) make it pretty obvious you do this and are really not liking being called out on it. Conversely it's pretty obvious other men on this thread don't.
I don't see all men being stereotyped here I see some men being called out on a specific behaviour that is arguably gender specific. And I also see some men getting disproportionately upset.
I take up the entire fucking bus mate, not just 2 seats, my ego is actually so massive, the driver exits and I steer the train, bus, tube all by myself.
When someone defends himself and fights against stereotyping and sexist terms he's automatically the biggest twat on the forums here, the mind boggles
I'm not sure comments like "don't give me all this men ate bad bollocks" when nobody had mentioned 'all men' or implied that they were 'bad' is fighting against anything. Looking back through the thread all I can see is that, as you say you are defending yourself but that seems to be by attacking other people.
At the end of the day the fact that you felt that you had to defend yourself (your words) speaks volumes about why as several people have said you appear so angry in your responses"
"Of course. But who is being sterotyped? Your posts (and others) make it pretty obvious you do this and are really not liking being called out on it."
I wonder why I'm pissed and try to defend myself...hmmm...I really don't see why...
Who is being stereotyped? I wonder who is being stereotyped in a 'manspreading' discussion.
Geezus it's like reading the media, choosing and picking what they like to make their argument stronger. Fuck this, I'm out, peace. |

"It's all nonsense. The only people who normally get worked up about it are the man haters and MGTOW types. Both are fools, both feed of each other."
I’m neither of those, and whilst I don’t get worked up per se - it irritates me like hell when I’m on the receiving end |

"If you don’t like it don’t sit beside men Fucking simple
What!!!
How ridiculous, so if a man sits next to me and spreads his legs.. I have to stand!!
He didn't say you had to stand. You could choose (where possible) to sit beside women.
You try choosing on the tube, plane or train! I can't stand on the tude as I'm too short to reach the handrails, that are on the ceiling.

"It's all nonsense. The only people who normally get worked up about it are the man haters and MGTOW types. Both are fools, both feed of each other.
Actually I think anyone that doesn't do this and commutes on crowded public transport gets pissed off on this.
If I'm on a half empty tube or train I really couldn't give a fuck what other people are doing. But on a crowded one when people are standing and some arsehole is spread across multiple seats be that because of their legs, their bags or sitting on the outside seat I'm going to judge that person as a selfish fucker. "
I am very familiar with public transport, the people who use it and its lack of consideration for larger people. Poor manners, selfishness and lack consideration of the others has always been around. There's no dispute of that.
As for the call of man spreading it seems to be something different, more a made up tool to attack men by those who seek to demonise men. Which ironicly gives those on the other side of the spectrum ammunition to reduce feminism down to stupid made up man hate. Both sides are idiots who are full of poison. There is no man spreading, it's made up, but the presence of inconsiderate twats is as old as time. This whole thing is just poison intent of futher breaking down harmony by those who pedal hate. It's a sexist distraction, a poisonous distraction that does very little to help women or society. |

Ask them to move their legs or bag then, no? |

Let’s just point out something though:
Men who manspread tend to do it because they feel entitled to more than their allocated share of the seating arrangements (as we see in this thread for various reasons).
Women who put their bags on seats often so it to prevent men creepy/intimidating men sitting there. They often move their bag and gesture when a woman walks past.
One is taking up space because apparently their testicles are unable to be contained for ten minutes, the other is doing it for their own safety. |

I have no qualms in doing so. Usually the person who seems most intent on avoiding eye contact.
But that's not really the point is it? The point is that if you are on public transport hogging 2 seats when other people are standing and you wait for people to ask rather than make the seat available then you really are a selfish arsehole.
In edit I mean you as a general not at you specifically |

Negativity to all men? Think you’ve not read the thread properly.
Although it’s the same group of manhater shouting men that grasp the wrong end of the straw each time and also negate women’s empirical experiences. So yeah I guess here we all are again.
Perception is interesting.
Meanwhile, I love men. Manspreading ones are irritating though. |

Which ironicly gives those on the other side of the spectrum ammunition to reduce feminism down to stupid made up man hate. Both sides are idiots who are full of poison. There is no man spreading, it's made up, but the presence of inconsiderate twats is as old as time. This whole thing is just poison intent of futher breaking down harmony by those who pedal hate. It's a sexist distraction, a poisonous distraction that does very little to help women or society.
Nah, bollocks.
I respectfully disagree.
Feel free to direct your reply to the man who posted it though
Nah. It was to you.
What a surprise

Having big balls myself you can't help but spread nothing worse than having your nuts painfully constricted or accidentally sitting down on them ...worst pain is having your nuts twist.
But taking up 2-3 seats that's just ridiculous. I do it within reason I don't just spread as much as possible.

It’s pretty bad pain when a man constantly rubs his leg against you on public transport. A touch frightening sometimes because you never know if he’s being a creep or just has massive, massive testicles that are so big he can’t possibly sit with his knees pointing straight forward. |

It was Rory Stewart who got picked up sitting manspreading during an interview.
Nothing to do with legs touching women, or taking up an extra seat etc...
While it does look slightly odd, maybe that’s how he sits?

Nobody has said that they hate all men, or that they think that all men should cross their legs. Just be considerate of those around you. |

Don't women in general tend to have wider hips than men? So whilst men may take up more space in front of a seat, women take up more room on a bench-type seat. Quid pro quo, ladies |

I don't think anyone on here has said every man does it.

Yup.
If you do it, yes people are judging you and you're kind of a jerk.
If you don't, it doesn't apply to you.

It kind of poses a different debate to that which has raged through this thread. My view being don't take up more space than you need to and be considerate of others etc.
Body language says a lot though doesn't it.
Arms crossed can suggest defensiveness.
Mirroring the person you are conversing with.. leaning in when they do suggests attentiveness and active listening..
So what does a man spreading his legs in an arm chair in such a way when being interviewed by a woman on the news say...
I suppose a lot depends on your own perception and views.
I don't think it looks very professional or respectful in truth. It gives me the impression that he saying look here... look at my crotch... I am a man.
But as you say... maybe he just sits that way.
I wonder if next time he's interviewed in a similar situation if he will think or be told to sit differently.

Yes. I did wonder if he was man spreading to assert some kind of image of strength, authority .
Some men sitting at rest, their legs naturally part and splay out. You can’t help that. (Or you can in order to not encroach on the person next you) In the photo of Stewart it just looks very unnatural and excessively spread..
I suppose then the next debate is if you are sitting naturally and your legs do splay, and you’re not in someone else’s space, what is considered an appropriate distance of splaying before it becomes offensive ...

It's all part of the feminist agenda . . Relax, sit as you like, ignore them . . Your comfort is your business. If they don't like it then that's their problem. |

"Because some guys feel the need to do the splits when sitting, as if it makes people assume they have a massive cock rather than that they are a massive cock. It's naturally the most comfortable way to sit otherwise your crushing your balls not nice at all also if you have muscled thighs that plays a part to
I have muscular thighs and sit with my legs slightly apart. Slightly. Very, very slightly.
If your cock is so big you need to do the splits (I'm not talking about legs apart, I'm talking about taking up 2-4 full seats) then speak to your doctor. yes but the balls are the obstacle that makes us spread our legs and I suppose unless you have them it's a tad difficult to visualise
The huge majority of men manage without being rude and space hogging though ... "
This, also a lot of men offer their seat for me too... I do like the comment about their flies being undone, made me giggle |

I'm fairness I think some women naturally spread (so many jokes to be had here) their legs somewhat too. I know I do at home because I just find it comfier.
I don't in public out of consideration for others if I'm sat next to someone for example... but also socialization has played apart in that I was always taught (And my knees were rapped for non compliance) that a "lady" doesn't sit that way. It gives the wrong impression. But then were getting into other realms and topics for debate.
I agree with you that it did look unnatural though.
Yes #firstworldproblems or some such.
Well if 90° is a right angle I'm thinking no more than 45° is acceptable. LMAO |

Hahaha 45 degrees is acceptable. How you calculating that - the total inner angle or from cock (that being in the middle) to each outer leg??
I was thinking it could be measured in cm from the outer edge of the chair to the outer part of the knees/leg...But then what happens if you sit in a very wide chair or a chair with no arms ... 5cm from edge to body would mean you could end up sitting like Rory did in that interview
Shit! Even more #firsteorldproblems

Im just wondering if its possible to find something of an appropriate size... a sky remote or lynx can perhaps, that when placed in between the legs would set the angle of splay at 40 degrees or so...
just another thought... when wearing a kilt it is important the splay is no more than 10 degree

If we're talking public transport then how about a flask... coffee cup whathaveyou.
If you can no longer hold it betwixt your thighs, you're splaying too much.
So yeah the measurement is the angle inside the legs...
45° max and never wider than the greater of the width of your seat or your widest point.
I gave this far too much thought today...

Ha. I should have watched although I did just Google and it has been "reported" on again.
They all seem to splaying but you would on that kind of chair.
He does seem to do it with a bit more intention though. It doesn't look comfortable. Definitely seems to be a body language asserting authority kind of pose.
