That's what modern feminism has come to, brown men arrested because white women complained.

That's flat out ridiculous. And the term "manspreading" is really sexist, which is ironic seeing how it originated. This is yet another case of something considered bad or negative behavior in society being blamed on males; as if women don't take up space on seats with their shopping bags, purse, clothing etc.

For me, when I ride the subway, I can't sit with my legs completely shut, if there is someone sitting opposite me, we'll be touching legs and knees since I'm kinda tall.
I try to take up as little space as possible, I don't put my stuff in the adjacent seat if there are a lot of people, I give my seat to the elderly, pregnant women, children with the parents or handicapped, I can sit in such a way that I take up more space when there are few people on the train.

This is not something that the police should be involved in at all, being arrested for this is ridiculous. And that term is still incredibly sexist towards men, I guess this is what equality looks like to some.

These upper-middle class women claim to be oppressed by people not sitting uniform on the train calling for a law that will be used as another excuse for police to bother lower-class people and minorities on public transport. Any opportunity to blame males as a boogie-man for all the problems in their lives.

Thats why feminism can go f itself - it's poison and I dont want my kids exposed to that nonsense

Yes, damn those feminists for arresting this man. It's more about matter of common courtesy I feel.


What about disabled people that need to take up more than one space. It's stupid. Courtesy is asking a person to make space.

 

If I go and sit down and there's a large empty space, I probably will take up a couple of spaces, as soon as the subway or train starts getting packed, then I will make space. 



First comment speaks the truth: This is pathetic, and shows how truly hard people living in a 1st world country have to search for ways in which they are "oppressed".



As someone who tends to stay far away from that sort of websites, that's one of the most cringeworthy articles I have ever had the displeasure to read.

good to hear

things need to get worse so that people can stop being complacent when its clear that bullshit is being used to create an environment that oppresses them


Agreed.



Welcome to the matriarchy. Feminists truly repulse me. I saw a bumper sticker the other day saying "men aren't pigs; pigs are sweet and intelligent animals." This madness needs to end.

Feminists need to read up on the ideals of this country.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Oh man, this country becomes more of a police state by the day.
