Yours is a totally different issue, here we are talking about people occupying much more than the space they need and invading other people personal space.
I am bother by this behavior and I feel it should something people learn when they are kids, not something I should ask for.
- zakk 9y agoPeople may invade your personal space for many reasons: because they are taller than average, because they may be commuting for a long time and need to move their legs a bit, because they simply forgot or think about something else, because they come from different cultures with a different culture of what is personal space (try using public transportation in Beijing and then in Tokyo), or because they are assholes. I think that we can just try to be humans and ask, it's not really a big deal. As I said even eye contact is enough most often, is it so difficult. There's no need to start a war, leave along a pointless, sexist war like the proponents of the term "manspreading" are doing.
- genofon 9y agoI guess I disagree on your arbitrary definition of "human", but this is a bit off topic. This campaign is teaching people how they should ask, which is much more efficient and effective that asking one person at the time (moreover if you are the only one ask chanses are you will be seen as an unreasonable person on the train). For the sexiest part I think it's laughable,as they are not suggesting it's a problem with all men, but that is prominent in men, which for my experience it's true. Btw also their claim as "manspreading" being sexiest is laughable in my opinion, but I agree that it should be stopped (and I am a male).
