I think it's mostly about dudes sitting down and spreading their legs really wide, like 'look at my cock!' or 'oh no I can't close my legs because of my dick'. People do this and it's loving annoying. I'm a guy and I try not to do it because it's douchey.

Or maybe men have proportionately narrower hips and can't cross their legs as naturally as women?

Just do as I do and put your legs behind your neck when you ride the bus. More room for everybody, plus you get in a free yoga session.

some people are gonna spread their legs too wide when it's crowded and it inconveniences people but the main reason that tumblr exists is to provide an outlet for women who are angry and fearful in general.

so when's the next book coming out fellas

I cross my legs at the knee all the time. I think it's just socialization; women are generally encouraged to sit with their legs together, but that same encouragement does not happen to men. As well, for me, my legs are so long they can't just stick straight out in front of me on buses.

This poo poo is seriously the main reason I'd ever get a car. Just because buses are not really built with dudes my size in mind. :smith:

Fully agreed.
I usually try to grab a seat above the rear axle when I take the bus because there's usually a bit more leg room, but it comes at the cost of vibrating more which makes me travel sick as hell.

Robb Stark wasn't even taking up that much space anyway, his leg was aligned with the hand rail on the seat.

His bag was taking up a seat. He'd probably have moved it if anyone had asked though.

Really. The implication is 'don't sit next to me if you don't have to,' not 'these seats belong to me and I will defend them with DIARRHEA AND FIRE!' Everybody does it, and not just on public transportation.

I usually just let the bag-seating people be. The last thing I really want to deal with while I'm on the bus is the jackass next to me sighing pointedly over and over because he wants me to leave so he can be alone again. I'll stand at the door instead.

The only thing worse than the people who sit next to you on the train/bus and box you in when the rest of the vehicle is empty is when they don't get off the drat thing before your stop comes up so you need to talk to them ask them to let you pass because you have to rehearse it in your head in hopes to adequately mask the loathing and disdain you have for this most terrible human being.

So yeah, what Irish Joe said.

I think the rule is, bag on the seat till there's no single seats left, and then it's a battle of wills as to who will voluntarily move their bag, or only do so if asked. If you look freaky enough, no one asks.

Exactly. I saw some posts on that Tumblr or a similar one in the old SJW thread, and most of them seemed to be about people taking up extra room when there were plenty of two-seaters completely empty. You're ALLOWED to spread out when it's not bothering anyone, it's only when you're spreading into seats someone actually wants to use that it's obnoxious. If you're on a train and the next stop is an hour away, and everyone is already settled, go ahead and take up an entire 4 seater AND the table, it's fine!

Nope! Per that tumblr, by spreading out, regardless if seat availability, you are exerting your patriarchal dominance all over the place.

Usually it takes about a half-hour for my bowels to get moving after a decent breakfast. Then I'm grunting and straining, just like any powerlifter.

I have been exercising my liver a lot lately. Could probably take BoT at this point. Not that I'm threatening, it just seems like it might want to leave my body and act independently and then I really don't know what it would do.
