Fun fact, men who close up their legs more are prone to sweating more and then having smelly junk. This is why you see guys manspreading more when its hot. It radiates heat away from the body. There should probably manspreading seasons based on local climate, like from May to August in most of the United States. Not sure what it has to do with patriarchy or oppressing someone. I just look at like it’s a minor annoyance and a social faux pas when it’s chilly or there’s limited space. Like if people need more room or it’s freezing and then you manspread anyway that’s really dumb and you shouldn’t manspread. But if it’s warm and there’s plenty of room, I don’t see what’s wrong with it. People should be allowed to be healthy and try to be comfortable, as long as it’s not at the expense of others.
