Watch one woman say to manspreaders what we’ve all wanted to

Like poison ivy, manspreading is a scourge in the garden of life.

You know what we’re talking about: That thing where men — and yes, it’s almost always men — spread their legs so wide that they encroach upon the personal space of the commuters sitting next to them. Alternatively called “lava balls” and “subway spread,” it’s a phenomenon familiar to anyone who’s taken public transportation.

Luckily for the rest of us, Gothamist’s Lauren Evans has taken it upon herself to confront the manspreaders savaging public transportation around the country.

NONE OF THESE GUYS ARE EVEN SPREADING THEIR LEGS THAT FAR APART OR TAKING TOO MUCH ROOM THOUGH

YOU’RE ALL A BUNCH OF PISSBABIES

And yes, it IS different for guys, because their pelvises aren’t as wide as women’s and their genitals are located outside their body! Fuck this bitch and fuck all the people behind this. God knows you aren’t shaming/creepshoting women who’s bags and purses take up extra seats.

Let me help you micdotcom:

Notice on the right part: men (on top) have acetabulum facing laterally, women (on bottom) have acetabulum facing anteriorly. Men’s legs will naturally tend towards the side. Women’s legs will naturally tend towards the front.

Now can you stop the fake pseudo-feminist bullshit and focus on real issues?!

Fucking THANK YOU. We don’t actively spread our fucking legs like that, shutting them takes a lot of maintained adductor contraction not to mention putting our balls in a vise, no seriously we’d have to squeeze them between our legs if we close too much. Not to mention guys on the heavy side like me have excess fat on our thighs which push our legs apart and adds pressure to our balls if we shut too tight. I’m not saying there AREN’T guys who go too far beyond what’s necessary but please understand that I’d rather keep them closed myself because I don’t like bothering other people and I assume a lot of other people feel the same way. In contrast there are douchebags who put their big ass bags on seats and sit SIDEWAYS on public transportation which is so fucking unnecessary
