Amazingly, as I surf the web I find all these blogs women have written about men spreading their legs on the subway. One blog is written by an intellectually challenged young woman who professes to have done a sociological experiment where she " sat around " on the train with her legs spread wide, to see how angry people got and what it was like to make all riders normally in her position upset. She only wants to confirm her own outrage and righteous indignation by seeing it on the faces of others, to further her own agenda. She uses buzz phrases like " male privilege " a lot. As if it's a real privilege to have to carry your super droopy vulnerable " ovaries " around on the outside of your body in a fleshy sac between your two muscular legs, all the while trying to keep them from getting hurt. I can't really take someone like that too serious. Some so called feminist " ball busters " are just mad at everything men do, instead of celebrate their woman hood/femininity, they want to attack men over stuff like protecting their balls from being crushed by reserving enough space for them. I just have to laugh at those gals and remind myself that as an enlightened individual the answer is sometimes scientific as opposed to an anti-social behavioral sexism problem. Men spreading their legs on the train is NOT sexist oppression.
I don't see blogs all over the web about fat people taking up space on the bus so why are women going to cry that men want to keep their testicles safe and secure? Two words. Penis. Envy.

No, ma'am.
Did you read the articles I posted? It's an actual problem and women have very little to do with it. It's the Metropolitan Transit Authority who is trying to inform the public (man spreaders, women, purse/bags/backpacks etc.) to be polite and not take up extra seats.
I don't know what blogs you read and frankly, if they are as neurotic and skewed as you posted, I probably don't want to.
It's only my opinion and experience but of the many, many women I have had the pleasure to study, play, work with or just hang with not a single one has every expressed penis envy.
And penis envy is an abstract Freudian psychosexual development stage. Not literally an envy of a penis.
One more thing, maybe it's because I'm a *ball busting* feminist or maybe I'm too old and my eggs are all dried up and shriveled but I do not consciously or sub consciously see a man with his legs splayed open and think"Hmmm...he's cooling off his junk. Let me jump on that one" . But that's just me.
Peace.
