Man Spreading.

[Sigmund]

Hi!

Man spreading. What is it?

(Basically, it's a man spreading his legs far apart-more than hip width taking up a lot of space on public transport)

It looks like this:

And some men's rights groups are saying its sexist.

Thoughts?

Never heard about it. Perhaps sometimes the family jewels just need room to breath?

I have a little (actually "little" would not be the correct term to use)story. Some may know that I work as a dental assistant. Those of you that have been to the dentist(and ALL of you better had! but I digress)know that we sit pretty much knee to knee with the dentist. One of our doctors is a male. He has HUGE, and I don't know how to say this delicately, cajones. Of course he has to spread those legs wide to fit under the dental chair and you can't help but look. It's like something in a zoo. And they're practically in your face(yeah run with that one fellas). Maybe these gentlemen have to spread 'em to um, make room. Or want you to think they need the room.

They make "ballroom" jeans, should that not be enough.

Hi!

That's one of the reasons men who are asked say but when pressed they admit they don't sit this way at work or around family.

Apparently, it's a problem because the MTA and other public transport systems are trying to inform, educate and *discourage* it.

Dental assistant? Ah yes, it all makes sense now where those sadistic tendencies come from. _

If men can't spread their legs on the subway then women should be required to keep their purses and/or bags in their laps. It's only fair.....

Wait, this dentist's balls are so big, they are bulging all over the dental area?

They're spilling out into the waiting room! They're slithering down the steps to the parking lot!

You should have bought him a jock strap for Christmas.

If you have the room... Please spread away as long as you are decent enough to make room by putting your legs together if someone needs to sit on the other place.

So many questions... and so little courage!

I'm sorry. Someone's comment made me think about 'showing brain'.
