War against men-------Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege”

Time Magazine: Men Who Don’t Sit and Cross their Legs are “Manifestation of Patriarchal Privilege” | PUNDIT PRESS:
Time Magazine has declared that men who are able to sit and not cross their legs are a “manifestation of patriarchal privilege.” Pundit Press was the first site to report on this specific passage.

In an article called, “‘Man Spreaders,’ There’s No Excuse for Not Closing Your Legs on the Subway,” Time’s Etiquette section slammed men who do not sit with their legs together. 

But more than it being impolite and against etiquette, there is a much bigger problem with men like this: they are proliferating “the patriarchy.”

The article explains that men sitting with their legs apart “is the most visual manifestation of patriarchal privilege and that is why it is especially angering.” 

Again, people who sit like this are not just inconsiderate, particularly if there is little space, but they are actively pushing their male-centric agenda.

The author, Brian Moylan, then states that people don’t like men with their legs apart because “everyone” thinks of the oppression of women: 

“It says to everyone, “I find this comfortable and I am a man so my comfort comes before all else in this entire universe and especially you.” 

That’s why people hate this.”

And if you spread your legs when you sit, you’re not a real man, the article explains: 

“Men are saying that they don’t care about anyone else, and that is awful. 

They think that it is somehow manly, by claiming their territory. 

That is not manly.”

The article also included this apparently terrifying picture that it saved on its website as “Manspreading subway:”
