'Manspreading'? But women hog subway space, too

Article here. Excerpt:

'As we enter 2015, the latest feminist crusade seems to come straight from the life-imitates-satire department. It has everything one could want in a caricature of feminism: petty grievances, gleeful male-bashing, egregious double standards. And it also seems to have the official blessing of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It's the war on "manspreading," the male habit of sitting with legs apart and (supposedly) taking up too much space on the subway.
...
Of course, hogging space in a crowded subway car is rude and inconsiderate. But are men really the worst offenders? After years of subway riding, I can say I've never noticed this to be the case. Neither have some of my female friends in New York City; others have said that while they've noticed male leg-spread, women can be just as bad with purses and shopping bags.
...
This brand of feminism is not about equality; it's about shaming directed at males, as the subway seating issue makes abundantly clear. Even the word "manspreading," with its nasty and somewhat obscene overtones, is a gender-based slur. Imagine the reaction if men took photos of inconsiderate women with large purses or shopping bags and posted them with exhortations to "stop the womanspread." You can bet such activism would not get positive media coverage or a sympathetic response from the MTA.

A public service campaign against space-hogging -- and other forms of incivility on the subway -- would be welcome. Selective male-shaming is not. Stop the bashing, please; it's a human issue.'
