Woman ‘Manspreads’ on Subway and Shows It Isn’t Just About Space

Mic recently experimented with the predominantly male trend of “manspreading,” or spreading one’s legs in a cramped public space like a bus or subway car. “As it turns out, people respond very differently to a woman taking up tons of space on the subway,” Elizabeth Plank of Mic writes. “It involves a lot more staring, glaring and photo-sharing. When men do it? Not so much.”
