In the photo captioned...
Kelley Rae O’Donnell, who confronts manspreaders and posts their photos online, captured an image of one on a train this month...
Kelley Rae O’Donnell is inches away from a woman who is womanspreading. Kelley Rae O'Donnell turns her back to the womanspreader to scrutinize the man.
It is uncanny that they publish a photo showing a woman doing the same thing they attribute to men only. |

| Still, I owe an apology to every Korean middle aged man I've ever wanted to bust in the nose because someone here convinced me with their fancy writing that this never happens back home. My ass! Who were you? Fess up now. |

Koreans have evolved beyond leg spreading. Now it's stick our legs out into the middle of the aisle and if at all possible stand in front of a door. The last is all-inclusive gender wise.
Then we have the cross your legs and spread out as if you were at home on your couch because Lord knows the subways are never crowded.
I could go on, but I believe my work here is done. |

Well, some women go shopping and then they have many packages that they take on the subway. They need more room, so they spread out their packages. Maybe these men are in a "similar situation".  |

BALLS....people forget how uncomfortable they can make sitting down. Women are lucky.
Men need to spread their legs to prevent squashing. I can get a pain down there if i'm wearing jeans (not even tight ones) so the more space i have the better.
That being said, i'll often stand up instead. I'm not rude. I don't do manspreading. I'm just explaining why it happens. |

The seats are too small.
One of my pet peeves in Korea was restaurants that put 4 chairs around a table for two - and considered it a table for four. |

So you're the guy we saw on the train, standing next to the seat railing by the door. Wearing Nike dry fit shorts and nothing on underneath. You were waving it to a girl saying "hello!" "Hello!" over and over again. This was last year folks.
I knew it had to be someone on this board.

| Leg spreaders are not as infuriating as door hoggers/blockers. |
