Question: At what angle of leg spreadage does it become Man spreading?

Knees touching is acceptable. Knees apart is being a shitcake.

I don't expect serious discours here but in all seriousness that is actually is uncomfrotable for a lot of guys. Unless your willing to give us the caveat that we can adjust our junk in public first.

"Wah, I don't get to be comfortable everywhere I go, poor me, I'm so oppressed by those evul feminists"

It's not that big a deal really, I'm able to cross my legs, and if I want someone to not sit next to me I just glare threateningly at them, and that's really when I'm in a bad mood or a know that they're douchebags.

Who are you quoting?

I'm paraphrasing the shitsteak above.

Shitsteak has needs. Ball related needs. My junk is just too big! I gotta spread em for your safety as much as anything. Too much pressure and these boys could blow!

Okay, I agree that men (or women, when applicable) shouldn't take up excessive space they don't need. But if the whole point of not liking it when they do is that it makes you uncomfortable, then in all fairness: If you're going to dismiss their comfort as not a valid consideration, then why should they give two shits about yours?

It's not exactly comfortable for a lot of women, either.

Lets all agree to disagree that knees must touch then.

I don't think knees need to touch, but I do think they shouldn't be spread so far apart that you're forcing the people on either side of you to make their knees touch.

That is a completely reasonable opinion I am in agreement with (damn it you are no fun).

So we're going to stop dudes being creepy... by letting them play with themselves in public?

No.

It's the only way.

Uh, what?? I'm a woman and I sit with knees apart all the time. They're not spreading outside, like past my hips, so how is that being a shitcake? I'm not occupying any more space than if my knees were touching.

OH NO MY GENDER NORMS HAVE BEEN CO-OPTED (Sitting comfortably is a male thing! You ladies can't have it or the country will go to the godless-islamic-commie-feminazi's!)

Don't know what we'd call it, but can we get a movement going for stuff like this?

Sure, it's irritating not having a seat because some dude is pretending his knees are two positive magnets, and I am on board with calling dudes out on it, but I am fucking sick of seeing women doing this "Legs cross draped over the middle of of the bus so you have to step over them ortrip and then get looked at like an asshole of daring to fall over her inconveniently placed limbs" We need a catchier name if this is going to be a thing, though.

I might do this... But only when the bus isn't very crowded.
