Manspreading

[Persephone]

This came about last year, it is now officially illegal on New York’s public transit. NY transit police actually made 2 arrests for this offense recently.
The judge dismissed the charges when they showed up for their court appearance, after a stern warning to stop the practice.

This is also an issue in the UK and Canada.

Do you manspread? Will you stop now that you know it’s inconsiderate to those next to you?

This is a bad law. Some older guys have large guts that prevent them from keeping their legs together. Last week I went to a concert in Houston and the seat was so uncomfortable that I HAD to sit like that all concert.

I have knee aches due to sports injuries and I honestly need leg space or I will be in some pretty decent pain. This is honestly an idiotic law.

I'll stop if you promise me that all women will henceforth stop wearing scoop necklines and bending forward at every opportunity.

MM, you are probably the only straight man on this forum who feels this way.

Pregnant women also have to spread. Will they be allowed to do so?

I'm sure I am, but I was raised in a generation that saw this as cheap and trashy behavior unsuited to a lady. I still feel that way.

Put some pants on that thing!

Since my op last month that's the only way I can sit, if arrested for doing so I think a lawyer would have a field day with disability discrimination.
If someone is doing it to annoy others then ask them why they are doing it, tell them it's not as if they have anything to display.
They will either close there legs or alternatively beat the living day lights out of you😊

Indeed, such may be unsuitable for a lady -- but it is eminently well suited to a bimbo. And you've got to admit, bimbos have their uses too.

I've read several articles on this and it appears blacks and hispanics are the main offenders. Some are even claiming racial discrimination.

I have long legs. However not a huge gut. I try to be considerate, but I have not ridden a bus like that in a looooong time.

Finally.
Of course, I am assuming that New York has time for this crap because all forms of real crime have been completely eliminated.
