YouTube: Man Spreading - MGTOW

Video here. Description excerpt

'Just over a year ago I covered a story in my video called The Gender War in Sweden about how Swedish feminists were so bored they were telling men how to sit on the bus. And I sourced a vice article from two thousand and twelve and it's the first one in the description below. Most people watching that video were shocked or outraged. So thought it was just plain stupid or funny. But with New York's MTO launching an advertising campaign targeting the act of "Man Spreading," this issue is gaining traction in North America. Some people are calling this the New York City Nutcracker in honor of Christmas. What I find insulting about this attack on men on public transit is that it's targeting men in the first place. What about women? Is it not possible that women could also behave the same way? Why is this an issue only facing men. And what about women that bring giant purses and put them on seats next to them? Or what about women that bring two, three or even four giant bags with them on public transit?...'

Trivial pursuit is not the path to equity. Feminism is now battling the alleged scourge of men who take up too much space on public transit by spreading their legs? Not only is this selective male-shaming (social media users quickly noted that female riders are guilty of different-but-equal sins), it is also a comically petty grievance that could suggests the aggrieved have no real issues. Half of successful advocacy is knowing to pick one’s battles.
