And both actions piss off the feminazis.

Feminazis don't exist like you portray them to. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Of course they do, but its just like the in-your-face homosexuals, the feminazi types are a much much smaller percentage of the population yet the make a lot of noise.

I guess I just have a hard time seeing any homosexual or feminist as 'in-my-face' when I've never had one of them knock on my door and ask me to come to their weekly meetings.

I've never had a circus midget knock on my door either, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Well, I guess I should have better clarified that by 'like you portray them to' I meant that they don't exist in any significant amount, nor does anyone really listen to them on the left. Unreasonable people will always exist, pointing to them is silly. It's when you start having otherwise reasonable people believing unreasonable things that you need to be concerned. To inject another totally unrelated subject matter, I think the historically unheard of change in opinion on gay marriage is an example of that changing on that issue.

I guess what I meant was, I can't guarantee you won't find a handful of tweets from people saying or agree with ridiculous ultra-unequal feminist sh*t you could classify as 'feminazi', but you can find the same amount of people who believe the world is flat. Neither represent any significance except 'well, there are the idiots'.

In the end all that this comes down to is being polite and courteous…

If the train has plenty of seats available…
• Men can manspread.
• Ladies can use a seat for their purses/shopping bags.

If the train is full…
• ladies hold your purses in your laps or at your feet (it's less likely to be lifted from you that way anyway.)
• Men sit with your legs together or freaking stand if your manhood is so massive you can't sit with your legs together.

BTW not as big a deal on a train but on a city bus:
Please know your stop is coming up and have your things gathered to depart the bus quickly. (I can't tell you how many times Ive seen people who seem shocked that they've reached their stop and have to take a minute or two to gather up their laptop etc before exiting the bus.)

It's just that simple. Think of others and not just yourself. You are not a special snowflake, the world does not revolve around you and would be a whole lot nicer place for everyone if people are considerate.
