Feminist Designs ‘Pussy Purses’ To Fight ‘Manspreading’ – Beyoncé Is A Fan

Gross.

Personally, I'm more offended that a man won't give up his seat for a woman than his posture once seated. But that's a sign of the times I suppose.

Have you seen the pics of what this is though? Men sit on public transportation and take up 1 -2 seats. Women sit and try to be as compact as possible. It's an issue if there are not enough seats and the men continue to sit spread out. I will try and find some pics.

In eac of those examples, the men would give the women around them more room to be more comfortable if they had enough courtesy to not hog the entire bench. In 2 of those cases, another person could probably sit down if they would just sit more compactly. It's rude.

Is it one of our most pressing issues? No of course not. But for people who ride public transportation I am sure it's annoying. And public transportation works better when everyone uses their manners and common courtesy - which seems to be sorely lacking in these examples.

How does a pussy pouch help combat manspreading? Is the woman supposed to place it between her legs to keep them spread?

Good grief. The few times anyone has stuck their leg into my space, I politely asked them to move their leg. Use your WORDS, women! Sheesh!

Why should a man give up his seat to woman? Are women so delicate, that they're incapable of standing for 10 minutes?

Sure, they should give up their seat for pregnant women and the elderly, but a healthy woman? What for?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

You don't have to take up 2 seats by manspreading.

Men use to be chivalrous. Women use to like being treated nice.

As for the purse, it's ugly. Wouldn't have one. Looks more like a coffee bean to me.

If you want to sit, say "excuse me" and sit down.

Women don't have to be so passive.

This. I need to know the answer....

I think you are supposed to place it on the seat next to you maybe?

Yeah, me too. Does it have some secret power to make men not sit like that??

For the same reason that I, as a woman, would ensure that I was only taking up one seat - to ensure that others can sit down. I don't think a man has to give up his seat for a woman, but I appreciate men who only take up one seat so that others may sit down. Look at those pics I posted - that man sitting in between the two women is squeezing them into smaller spaces so he can spread out. The women are sitting compact and small and he is spread out all over his space and theirs.

Seriously...I prefer to be treated like a woman. Yes, I am delicate. Real women are. The others are butch and are not attractive...

weltschmerz · Guru

I agree. One person should take the space allotted to one person, instead of spreading out like kudzu.

I AGREE with Welts!! evileye

FNW · Guru

I rode the subway for the last two weeks. I did not see one manspreader. I have to wonder...how much of a "problem" is this, really? Or is it another excuse for manly women to hate on men.

Yep! Just the latest feminazi bitchfest...

Beyoncé isn't very manly. But ok.

Maybe it depends on the city you are in.

She isn't very feminine either.

Lol! I'm butch? News to me. I guess I have to throw out all my crimson lipstick and high heels. Get a bunch of plaid shirts and cut my long hair off. I'll have to get my hair cut at Lesbian Haircuts and Bicycle Repair.

Butch is more than appearance. Its an attitude. A not so attractive attitude...

You could come here, My barber, Anna, would be happy to fix you up. Haircuts are $9.

Well, I am a girl but that doesnt' mean I cant use power tools or do all sorts of "man work". You dont' have to "butch" to do that. I do what needs done.

I looked at the pictures of the handbags, and I can't figure out how they would do anything about people spreading out.

Unless the owner is using them to batter offenders.

WYSIWYG · Guru

I agree with ed11563. I don't get how a purse with a stylized labia majora on it decreases "man spreading".

I do think that it's easier for women to cross their legs in that manner than it is for me to do so though. Men have things protruding from their bodies that could be affected by crossing their legs in that manner or keeping their legs "knees together" tight while sitting.

WYSIWYG · Guru

Apologies. Typo.

That second sentence was supposed to read: "I do think that it's easier for women to cross their legs in that manner than it is for men to do so though."

I somehow missed the "n" on "men".

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Feminazis always have to look for new ways to be offended by men. The "manspreading" is no different than a woman carrying a huge purse and plopping it on the seat beside her or any number of things that HUMANS do to act territorial and to take up space.

But the majority of women on the subway put their giant bags on their lap.

And WSIWIG - your penis doesn't prevent you from being polite and taking up less space. You don't need to put your knees directly together, but there are ways for men to sit more compactly than the examples I posted above. Your cash and prizes doesn't give you an excuse to take up extra space.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Just pointing out that rudeness isn't gender specific. And, there are plenty of rude women as who don't put their purses on their laps.

Just for the sake of clarity, men don't mind having their penis squeezed. The balls, on the other hand, are very sensitive and painful when squeezed.

Please don't misunderstand me, I wasn't defending or advocating spreading out and taking the space of three people. I was just mentioning that getting men's legs to occupy as small of a space as women's legs can occupy could be a tad unlikely, even possibly painful. Men should have their knees no more than "shoulder width" apart. That should allow plenty of space for their "cash and prizes" as you called them, and still keep them occupying one seat area.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Men are able to sit with their legs together and men are even able to cross their legs. I think all anyone is asking is to just show some respect and manners toward society. That applies to men and women.

Seriously? Men are perfectly capable as a woman as sitting with their legs closed, and yes, even--*gasp!*--crossing them.

Plenty of men sit politely, their junk is no excuse whatsoever for being rude and taking up so much space.

WYSIWYG · Guru

Where did I suggest that they should sit impolitely or take up extra space? Knees at shoulder width is not taking up extra space that a person is not entitled to.

I could say women can sit with their knees shoulder width apart as well, but to suggest that a woman should be sitting in such a manner could be construed as being ungentlemanly.
