There's a difference between abortion, and comfort. If men can ride bikes, horses, motorcycles, they can close their legs. Also, why didn't the men who designed metros make men only seats that cup your balls comfortably?
Do what women do, strap your junk closer to your body so that is is better protected. I think that's why jock straps were invented. Try going to war in gear designed only for men's bodies. Also there are valid reasons for a woman to sit with legs spread for comfort. But instead we are taught by doing so we are literally opening ourselves up to sexual advances and harassment. #yesallwomen
And really you can't preach about discrimination and be taken seriously with this issue. There are many gender discrimination issues that affect men, courtesy isn't one of them. You sir are just an inconsiderate person trying to pass your selfishness off as a social concern. The only concern is you valuing yourself more than others, which is ironic because that touches on the point if the comic.
I think women should be able to sit with their legs open without it being considered sexual. You have my absolute furious agreement on that.
As for the talk of strapping and all the other different kinds of seats, you just wouldn't understand. A good example is that men who ride bikes suffer from impotence at a much higher rate.
I think you've missed my point though, which I probably deserve for going in so hyperbolic at the start and getting you offside. I believe I have a valid argument, I've just not presented it well. But I do ask why it's such a big deal? OK, if I'm taking up space, I can see the point (but then we should also probably start fat shaming eh?), but if I'm only impacting you in a visual way then why does your opinion matter? How is it different from telling a fat woman not to wear leggings or a man staring at cleavage?
I'm also trying to change the tone here, I think what I'm saying is important, and I feel like you're trying to silence my opinion and as a result, devaluing my concerns and my life experiences. The OP is talking specifically about women's attitudes towards men so this is the appropriate forum to talk about it. So *unless* I'm taking up physical space required by someone else, why should it matter where my legs are?
