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.

This 1,000 times over!
