Seriously, Guys has to Stop!

“You know what I’m talking about: the dudes who sit on the subway and expand their legs to bar anyone from sitting anywhere near them,” New Yorker Brian Moylan laments. “Seriously guys, it has got to stop.”

Moylan says that men who spread their legs on the subway take up too much room, and it’s unfair to other passengers. “As a human male who possesses a penis, I can say that there is no possible way that your package is that big,” he writes. “And if you have a package so large – as in an actual parcel – that is making you sit like this, you probably should do yourself and the world a favor and spring for a cab.” 

 

The issue of manspreading has become such a problem in recent months that New York subway officials have announced plans to launch an awareness campaign in January, kindly asking passengers to be more mindful about how much space they take up in their seats. 

 

“Courtesy is contagious” is the campaign’s planned slogan. Honestly, we’re on the fence about the issue. Sure, manspreading can be obnoxious on a cramped subway car. But there are plenty of times when we don’t mind a guy showing off his wide stance.
