The point is that this feminist trend of sticking a "man" label over common problems makes me sick. It's unnecessarily confrontational, just like your comment.

And btw yes, the problem, as it is described by the sexist slur "manspreading", exists just in a feminist's mind.

In my experience men and women are equally represented among assholes. I'm glad you shared your different personal experience, though.

Wait, how'd you figure out that the people complaining about manspreading are feminists? Do you often find yourself on the receiving end of sexist slurs?

Ah, you were trolling! Sorry, I thought at first you were serious mate.

For the sake of public documentation, I'll argue:

It is confrontational because invading my personal space by using more than what's assigned to you is unnecessary and rude. Let me repeat something: I am a man and I also suffer from idiots spreading their legs like they've got balls the size of Jupiter. There's no physical nor biological reason for that, like not at all.

Women don't do it. I'm sure you can show me one example of a woman doing it, I can show you 2-3 men per bus trip, easily. It's a matter of education, how we have been educated. Men are educated to become alpha, to use their body to an advantage. Women are educated to be quiet and submissive.

It's not "feminine" to sit spreading your legs. It's very masculine to spread legs and arms, to show a bigger physical presence.

If you can't see why that's wrong then there's little hope for you. Even worse, if you think "feminist" means "against men" then I'm afraid you had a terrible upbringing.
