    No, that's manspreading. Not to be confused with mansplaining.

    More power to him.

    Looking around a bit after I read your question, I saw images of some young woman going directly up to guys and spraying bleach on guys' crotches in a subway train because of how they are sitting, spread-legged

    I have been sick and angry for days now.
    And I admit it -- just by glancing and reading for a second, I let this woman rather anger me.
    I've got challenges, I know -- but this woman truly needs help. If she did this to me, heaven help her if she did it to me in my current frame of mind.

    A person can sit wide-legged or close-legged to me. I don't care.



    I copied a portion of the text of one of the articles below (and there seemed to be numerous articles/images/videos about this woman's actions). I don't intend to be spamming or anything wrong by posting some of the article.

Anna Dovgalyuk, 20, is filmed apparently pouring diluted bleach onto men’s crotches across the subway in St Petersburg. She has accused men who carry out the practice as ‘gender aggression’ and calls manspreading – sitting with legs wide open on public transport – ‘a disgusting act’.

    Thanks for that, CosmicWunderkund!

    Boy, I got angry just seeing some pictures of this woman attacking men and "making her statement" - - talk about arrogance. Her body language shouts out "Look at me!" to me.

  • No worries! You did great. C";k all inordinate public attacks! That's bullying no-one should be doingdoing! Just tell them it's a free country and moon at them as you leave. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 2, 2019 4:45 PM MST

    Bingo! Yes!
    :)

    And in the pictures - - most of the guys she attacked -- I'd be thinking of doing something else with their crotches than pouring bleach on them.
    :)
