Manspreading

Manspreading is a term used by feminists and others to shame men. It is claimed that men take up a disproportionately large space when when seated, particularly on public transport. Anti-feminists have pointed out that women often use disproportionate amounts of space when sitting with a handbag and often other bags as well, a practice called she-bagging.

One British student, Laila Laurel, produced different chairs for men and women, with the men's chair reportedly preventing manspreading.
