Manspreading 2: The Revenge!

If you haven't heard, they have a campaign here in NYC against "Manspreading" where guys open their legs and take too much room on subway seats. I agree it's a problem and it has cost me a seat many a time on a long ride.

Still... I love this cartoon making fun of it all...

We don't have subways where I live, but I've seen a few photos of the phenomenon; it would annoy me.

another thread on manspreading, and in the pictures there, the guys kinda looked like pervs with their legs so far apart IMO--as if they wanted to flash their junk.

Here, then, is a photo published by the London Evening Standard, featuring Tom Hanks sitting — no, practically lounging — across two subway seats. Normally, the internet/we would lather in fury at such entitlement, but since there do not seem to be any pregnant women, elderly folks, or many people at all nearby, we're judging this a good sit. Carry on, but remember, Hanks: We're watching.
