Is it so much to ask for people to not open their legs TOO wide?
I get it, it isn't comfortable when you close your legs. I have thick legs as well, but it only gets painful when you squeeze your legs together. Otherwise, keeping them a bit open and not flashing it to the world is alright.
That and people who take up spaces with their purses/laying down are both at fault when public transportation services are busy.
One thing I will say however is that the words manspreading/splaining are idiotic. Do we seriously have to turn every issue into a race/gender/religion/political problem? For christ's sake
