this is second time, i saw this video on the forum.
i happened to remember about 15 to 20 years, at the time, i never about this term. " manspreading ".
i have notice this trend back then, on trains and buses, but i had no idea. it was something to or what men do.
i notice that i was doing it, because man and woman thing. i thought it was rude, in general.
back then, when the mertolink started in st. louis, or even i was sitting on the bus, when you seat with someone next to you in two seats.
most of the time, who deals with a black man, occasionally, white man. mostly a black man. it was a power struggle or black and white issue for me to sit in the seat, without push out of the seat.
i am inside the seat near the window or sitting on the farthest side to the window. if i am lucky actually can put both legs on the seat without try to not fall out of the seat. with the other man's leg take most of my seat.
i had this nonsense, these men for 10 years or less. it was so stupid and immature. even women, occasionally, did to me. i had this problem over ten years since then.
i never notice i do this " manspreading " more subconscience than anything. i don't mature man would do purposely, if he is a gentleman. i try not to it.
i remember i used for long , when i was grew up that i used cross my legs, when sitting in a chair like a woman. it was comfortable. then i watched men cross their legs wider or more like a square. i found that proper way the men do it. so nowsdays, i cross my legs like a man.
for the video, it is had to take three ladies, seriously when they think what is the big deal. people are rude, maybe men are ruder than women.
maybe, manspreading is for both women and men, maybe because it simply comfortable position to sit. that's all, it is!
