I've heard women who go around with boobs and legs on display complain of sitting opposite a man on the tube with his legs open and packet thrust forward. Just find the hypocrisy kinda amusing.

If they can complain about overt sexual displays, then so can I. It's my right as a feminist.

Oh God has Subway told you off for waving your reddened buttocks at the sandwich technician and hooting.

Ok for the last time.

She is from GABON

She is not a GIBBON

Unless they're groping the man's willy it's not really comparable is it?
Or are you just comparing them in a general way.

I've heard women complain about men who sit on the tube in an overtly sexual manner, they found it 'shocking' and 'disgusting'. These are the same women who cross and uncross their mini skirted legs almost constantly to attract attention in an overtly sexual display.

If every time a news programme came on and the male newsreader had his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel and then the male politician he was interviewing also had his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel, you'd think it was pretty odd. They don't do it because they don't need to use sex as a way of taking advantage of people.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all.

I'm sure I saw Nigel Farrage licking Hagen Dazs off of John Snow, or that might have been a dream.

If those really are the same women, then those particular women sound like idiots.

Yes. Though there is also the slim chance that other women exist, and those ones might also be complaining about the sexy display.

Apparently they pay idiots to write articles for the Guardian.

"While leg-splaying can be entirely passive and unintentional, this distorted sense of male entitlement to space can sometimes lead to far more worrying behaviour. Men making unwanted overtures to women, commenting on their appearance, getting annoyed when they are not responded to, even, in extreme cases, following them, or becoming aggressive, all of which can be very intimidating, especially if a woman is young and/or alone."

Yay, a woman is telling me why I don't crush my testicles and then tells me I'm a rapist. Woo! Feminism!

I have been a commuter for twenty years and mini-skirted women performing a Sharon Stone tribute on the Tube is a nuisance I have yet to encounter. Mind you, most days there is not room to cross and uncross your legs...

The main problem with men splaying their legs on the tube is not that it is sexually aggressive to the person opposite, it is that it encroaches on the personal space of those sitting on either side. It is just generally knobbish behaviour.

I only find men spreading their legs on trains annoying because it means the men take up more room, which is selfish. I've never heard anyone complain about it for any other reason than that.

That's the last time I make a point and then provide proof to back it up. And not just any proof, Guardian newspaper proof, the kind you guys like, written by a woman and everything.

You don't half get some bollocks in the Guardian

good thing nobody reads it

Makes me think of this story:

A commuter on the 7.08 Basingstoke to Reading service had said she looked over to see the paper jumping up and down on Melvyn Webb's lap while he pulled a face and breathed heavily.

But Mr Webb, 54, claimed he was just picking out the notes on a pretend banjo and was adjusting his underpants because his groin was sore.

Its more don't show off your junk, it looks nasty and it takes up space

as opposed to 3000 words of the Female Eunuch via Das Kapital

Also theres an air off bull shit. Ladies put shopping bags on seats, or sometimes sit sideways on so as to take 2 seats or get pregnant to force you to give up your seat.

Simple solution do what the NYPD do and fine anyone using more than 1 seat.

Urgh. Only men are territorial you misogynist monster! They don't care about kitchens, lawn boundaries, overhanging branches in the garden and they never use their baby buggies as battering rams.

It's only men who display that kind of selfishness and that's how wars start - which is factoidal accuration at it's finestmost.
