One Tumblr Feminist Takes a Swipe at Men on Trains (11 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       23 Nov 2013       17020       4 GALLERY VIEW

Called “Men taking up too much space on the train”, this tumblr is a hilarious dedication to the way men sit in public.

 

Have you noticed how women often sit like this?

And men sit like this?

Or thought about how women are expected to keep their bodies “small and contained,” without taking up much space, while men often assert power through enjoying looser, relaxed positions?

One Tumblr user seems to have thought about it quite a bit, and is documenting “men taking up too much space on the train.” The results are hilarious.

Just a comfortable guy, taking up space on the train.

Just two bros, probably not thinking about male privilege.

One of these things is different than the other two.

One of these people seems more comfortable than the other.

Do you really need THIS much space?

No.

No, you do not.

Are those feminists aware of something called testicles? Do they know how unpleasant it is to have those squeezed while siting with the legs together or crossed?

women also tend to blend together more seamlessly. studies find that they even police each other such that nobody gets too 'big for her britches'. posture would be one of the many ways this manifests.

men are in greater overt competition with each other, especially in a culture in which they're so worried about being seen as gay or even just passive. therefore, more posture space desired. there's also simply the desire to look larger, more relaxed, more potent, etc.

As mentioned by Fenrisulven, if women had two large chunks of meat between their legs along with a huge tube shaped object (and thank god they don't), they'd sit like men also.
