I don't think its just feminists somehow. have hard loads of men complaining about other manspreaders. Its actually terrible when you are sat next to someone who feels they should be able to take up a seat and a half.

My husband is 6 foot 3 and manages to not do it. Though there seems to be more space on the metro than there are on the trains in those photos

I have actually started fighting back against them which is quite fun. When they sit then try to spread I will push my legs also, and I have won a few of these battles to much signing and moaning from the person who wanted to spread. I lose most of them though as most men are stronger than me by nature

I would love to see that! At the end of the day the only way to stop innapropriate behaviour is to stand up and be counted so good job.



I once had a guy fall asleep on my shoulder on a train. I was only sixteen at the time and he was a much older businessman type. I felt very uncomfortable and just pulled away in the end which startled him and he just sat up properly. Bloody cheek though. I would say something now.

Theres not really much to see tbh, it becomes kind of a silent battle Only thing would be the ones who cannot beat me signing loudly and slouching back in their chair maybe with a loud tut to show their displeasure

I have advised my mates to start doing it too. Both men and women. The men will win more often than the women I think...manspreaders of Newcastle beware

But I had to do that with a woman a few weeks ago. I was sat comfortably in my doctor's surgery when this woman with a baby came in. There was only a few of us in the waiting room but she decided to perch herself next to me. She dumped her bag in front of my feet and then proceeded to spread herself out so that she completely encroached on my space. Her elbow was literally sitting on my boob!

I have never had a man do that to me and this woman was a first for me. I'm clearly not getting out enough

I bet she expected you to entertain the kid as well.
