Manspreading vs "shebagging" on the bus/subway? What's worse?
shebagging = woman refusing to move her bags/purse from a seat for people to sit down
Lol, this is why I don't do public transport anymore people. To many gronks like this who forget that it's PUBLIC!!! Rude pricks will always be rude, whether their on public transport or otherwise, bit at least in my car I'll always have a seat, can smoke a cigarette if I feel like it, don't have to make 1000 stops extra prior to my destination and if I run late then it's my own fucking fault (that last one is what is adults call taking responsibility for our own actions, children pay attention).
Now before any of you hippy tree hugging gender fluid paleo vegan whale saving pansexual grknks pipes in about how me driving every day is the equivalent of destroying 1000000 hectares of plankton shit every year listen up. I did my time on the public system. 20 years in fact for school and work. If I had to get somewhere it was done by either walking, taking the bus or catchin the train (and this was during a time when you either listened to a Walkman or discman, read a paper or a book, or sat there in silence... for hours). Do you know what I discovered after all those years of torture? Public transportation sucks balls. The floors in trains are a biological hazard and the never ending conga line of trackwork meant that the system never ran on time; buses are just retarded and should only ever be used for 2 functions in life, that is to ferry little cunts to school and take older cunts on a pub crawl - seriously, if for some other reason you need a bus grow the fuck up and get a car. Oh and lastly, it's too fucking expensive. My truck uses $9.19 of fuel per 100km, to catch the train the same distance that would be a $50 trip... one way.
In summary, if some bloke wants to air out his Johnson or some biddy wants to encompass an entire carriage with her shopping do you know whats worst? Neither, you on public transportation, if you don't like it then get the fuck off at the next stop, find your safe space and go cry you little bitches, welcome to the real world
Men sit with their legs open for a number of reasons attributed to their anatomy.
First, on average, men are taller and have longer limbs (courtesy of the later, and much longer growth spurt during puberty). Because of that, public transportation seats are relatively shorter and shallower for men, giving their seating position a slight squatting confirmation. The natural inclination of the legs in that situation is for them to fall to the sides. To avoid manspreading in this situation, a man would have to consciously contract his leg muscles to keep them together.
Second, to quote Peter Griffin, "Testicles. That is all."
Finally, and most importantly, most men (or rather people generally), have the common courtesy and decency to make more space when needed without being asked. Sometimes, if a guy is taking up space and doesn't realize that he is (such as if he was reading or sleeping), just ask him to scoot over. Problem solved.
Even shebagging isn't that big of a deal because a woman can easily move her bag when a bus or train cart starts to get full.
My question is, why is this such a big deal? Seriously?
It's a big deal when he horrendously covers all my space and I can't sit comfortable. I had this problem on Thursday at a movie theater, which was packed, and in the end, I said please make yourself comfortable and put your legs on me, he laughed at me. I said if you're not doing it, I will do it, and put my legs on him basically.
It's 2017 bro people gotta bitch about the dumbest things to feel important
To 1), even if you have big (fat or muscular thighs), look at the distance between your hip sockets where your legs flex at your pelvis. Now imagine the angle of your gargantuan femurs ranging from parallel to, say, 160 degrees. Not much changes where your thighs are thickest and might need to 'fall' away from each other. The natural range for femoral rotation is between zero and 40 degrees, at which point there is no reason for your legs to continue manspreading.
To 2), this is fucking ridiculous and the only reason for anyone to claim this as an excuse is to insinuate his testicles are bigger than they really are. The anatomic male is built so that everything down there, very politely, moves out of the way when the thighs come together. This is how we can walk normally without having to spread them. I can spend hours on a bike with not more than four inches between my knees and never had any incidents. Now if you're sitting, I can see if your FUPA is pushing it all back down, but as above, it still doesn't take more than 40 degrees of separation to make room for any range of man bit sizes.
And to 3), you're right... if there's no one around needing a seat, I welcome anyone and everyone to take as much room as they like (hell, i love to lay across three seats on a redeye flight, when possible.) But common courtesy dictates that if you're so self involved as to not realize when someone could use either of the two extra seats your balls' egoes are taking up, then you should just remove yourself from society.
There's nothing bad about manspreading, it's not some selfish attempt to take up as much room as possible, it's literally just the way a man sits. It's a comfortable position for his body to be in and it is natural. "She bagging" is clearly worse. If you sit your purse beside you then fine, but leaving it there and refusing to clear the way for other individuals is done on purpose and is rude. If you don't want someone from sitting next to you, that's alright. But women really need to stop acting like manspreading is preventing anyone from being able to fit into a seat. Most men don't sit in two seats at once and if you need room they'll probably slide over. Then again, this is a non issue for me because I have a car.
The thing I hate the most in busses is actually people sitting on the corridor side seat rather than the window side so that there is just an empty seat on the window side and no one can get to it. I think it's really rude. But both of those are bad too.
Especially bitches sitting on the elderly section
I hate this too. These people should burn in hell for that.
Both are rude AF if people are needing a seat, but I hate the manspread more simply because it just looks gross
Why is it looking gross?
@memyselfandiamhere because unless you’re this dude
https://i.imgur.com/sbUqS5c.jpg
there is no need to have your legs that wide, taking up other peoples space and trying to draw attention to your crotch
Like guys have a hard time judging how it feels like to have Boobs, women have a hard imagining how it is to have balls.
On warm days or after exercise it tends to get sweaty down there and they start to stick to your legs and your skin get damaged (sweat without ventilation destroys your skin and it gets red and hurts)
Also, it's damn comfy to sit like this
@memyselfandiamhere 90% if men manage perfectly well 😉
90% of women aren't raging bitches when they are on their period.
Dude, people sweat unequally
At least with manspreading there is a biological need instead of a need to be a stingy bitch. You try walking or running around with a protrusion between your legs and see if it's is fun. It not. Only fun. part is when we stick. it in liberal ass.
My comments bring all the triggered men to the yard, and they’re like “our problems are hard”
Da da da da dummm
yeah manspreading isn't worse xd srsly just ask the dude to close them legs a little bit
Sorry that these guys are offended, I was thinking like maybe you have forgotten that balls aren't like any comparable kind of skin on a body
@burpzzzzz yep. Raging homosexual
So a lesbian?
@memyselfandiamhere no, I’m gay. Like I said ^^^
So you are a guy?
@memyselfandiamhere well yeah, how else would I know about balls?
It seems like you don't.
U use a female profile and picture (but that fits so some sad people)
@memyselfandiamhere yeah but like I’m up front a out my Twinkie so it’s cool
@burpzzzzz pretty sure you’ve just had a little too much experience with women telling you that you have zero reason at all to man spread despite your best efforts. You seem like the kind of guy that would shave to make it look bigger #everybitcounts
@burpzzzzz extremely easy to see why but good on you for being accepting of your lack of.. well everything really
When you spread kind of far, it feels really comfy
@memyselfandiamhere it feels really comfy when I don’t have to wear pants, but that doesn’t make it acceptable public behaviour
Because I still wear pants.
What kind of an argument is this.
You aren't allowed to spread your legs because I have to wear pants?
@memyselfandiamhere lol good lord.
Just because something is comfortable; doesn’t make it acceptable in a public space.
Just because no pants makes me comfortable, doesn’t mean I can do it in public.
Just because you think your testicles each need a seat on public transport, doesn’t make it ok for you to take up two
They don't need that seat, but if I have the space cause there are a lot of free seats left, then who cares?
@memyselfandiamhere because that’s the whole point of this question, did you even read it?
@Wonderer89 This thread is hilarious!
Do you have testicles? It's not rude or gross.
@BrittBratt2416 it’s not rude that a man takes up two seats on public transport while other people stand.
Right
It's not rude for a woman to put her giant purse on one seat and her shopping bags on the other while everyone else places them on the ground or underneath the seat? Yea I've seen it happen. Plus women are complaining about men spreading even if their not taking up a bunch of room. They just want them to squish themselves cause they think they should be able to sit like us. Ugh.. no they have dick and testicles, you don't..
@BrittBratt2416 of course it’s rude, read the first sentence of my post before white knighting.
Women may be complaining about them doing it in general; I’m not one of them. If you want to play then at least get your facts right
I'm not being a white knight, I'm just speaking common freaking sense and for whatever reason feminist don't get that. And yes I saw you said both, but the only reason you said both is cause you don't want admit taking up a room or a seat with your purse or bag is a lot ruder than a man fucking spreading his legs for comfort. Like the exaggeration of man spreading is ridiculous and hilarious cause the truth is men really don't spend their legs that damn wide, some do but not most of them don't.. its just enough to be comfortable and not squish their nuts. Lol
Wtf? What "facts" are you talking about?
@BrittBratt2416 lol so not only are you ignoring my words, you’re just making up your own version of my opinion purely so you can disagree with it?
Babe all you’ve done is made up a story and said that’s how I feel. Those views are your own.
For mine; as I’ve said both of these actions are rude. Neither should happen. If someone is behaving this way, and putting others out of a seat or taking over someone’s personal space they’re an asshole.
I FEEL that manspreading to the exaggeration of the photo, because that’s the example we’re referring to here is gross because there is no physical need for an average guy to sit with his legs that wide.
Men who don’t spread their legs that wide, are normal men who aren’t manspreading; ergo aren’t contributing to what the whole conversation is about.
Having that view isn’t saying it’s ok for women to leave their shit everywhere and take up all of the space. We’re talking about a small subset of each gender
No just disagreeing, not making up any version of your opinion at all. But okay..
@BrittBratt2416 except that you haven’t disagreed with me at all, you just didn’t read what my opinion actually was. You just made an assumption and told me what my thoughts were (which wasn’t even close)
No I read it and disagreed. You said both was rude but made it clearer that you think man spreading is a lot ruder cause you hate it which is why I said what I said. So I wasn't making any type of assumption.
@princiee I think only the mods can do that
@BrittBratt2416 lol your comments say otherwise, when you said I don’t actually think shebagging is worse and that I’m just trying to be a feminist (wherever you got that from, because those weren’t my words for you to disagree with) as well also agreeing that my point on manspreading isn’t a physical requirement when you said:
“Like the exaggeration of man spreading is ridiculous and hilarious cause the truth is men really don't spend their legs that damn wide, some do but not most of them don't..”
But whatever you reckon 😉
@princiee mute the question if you don’t want to receive notifications hun. At the top of the question header click the three dots and choose “mute”
Because feminist are the ones who brought up this whole bull crap of "man spreading" and then a whole bunch of women jump on board with it. Um no I wasn't agreeing with your point, I was saying you and feminist love to exaggerate pointless shit and love to give men hell for it. How you thought I was agreeing with you is beyond me, and yes it is a physical requirement for men. It's keeps their testicles and sperm from overheating especially if their already in a hot environment.
I feel like you purposely misunderstood that just so it would go along with your point.
@BrittBratt2416 do you know what manspreading is?
Are you serious? Yes it's idiots getting mad over the fact they can't control men how they sit so instead they bitch about it and exaggerate it to be this huge problem in the world when it's not. People are dying and getting shot up by psychos yet females are getting their ass hairs knotted up over how a dude sits on freaking bus or subway.
@BrittBratt2416 I’m serious. Because you’re carrying on like it’s how an average guy sits, when it’s not. Its over exaggerated, wide and sometimes suggestive, that in this particular example is taking away space from someone else when asking which is worse.
Normal dude

Of course it’s not a huge problem, nothing about this question is which is what makes it so amusing that people are getting so worked up - but again you earlier said that men who over did it were ridiculous. Only those who overdo it are manspreaders.
Anyone can sit how they want, men can spread their legs and women can leave their crap over seats but the end result is the same. Both are rude, unnecessary and inconsiderate.
And we still having women who think the first picture is exactly like the second picture.
I don't like some dude jamming his knee into my leg, either way. I get that your balls may not be comfortable, but the solution shouldn't be to make someone else uncomfortable.
It's public transportation, it's not going to be ideal. Everyone needs to stop taking up extra space, no matter who they are.

Shebagging is worse, coz it's more ignorant and thoughtless. Most men naturally sit with their legs spread apart. It's a given lol At lesat his legs aren't taken up a whole entire seating space lol Someone can still squash in next to him LOL
I almost always shebag when I sit in the train. However, I most my bag when it gets busy or someone asks if they could sit next to me. I'm not denying I'm being selfish or that it's bad behaviour. I just don't like people sitting next to me and taking my space when they could sit somewhere else. Survival of the fittest in public transport.
I only hate manspreading if someone's actually sitting next to them. Then it's really selfish. At least stop manspreading if someone sits next to you. I also stop shebagging if someone wants to sit next to me.
Women can put their shit on their lap rather than take up a whole seat with it, and guys need to keep their legs spread at least a little to avoid crushing their balls (unless you want to watch them put their hand in their pants and scoop their balls upwards) so shebagging is absolutely worse.
Obviously, shebagging. That manspreading is even considered a thing makes me really sad about the idiots we have walking around today making stupid nothing things a thing.
God, I weep for this generation. We have created the biggest bunch of whinny dumb fucks I have ever encountered and to top it off, they think they are enlightened. Freaking idiots. God help us all.
Anyone that does any of that shit to the degree shown in the pictures above can go choke on some gonorrhea. Both are horrible behaviors. Although shebagging makes me angrier. Sometimes you're a bit bigger than the seat and need some more space. No one says shit when its fat people, so I don't really thinking bitching about manspreading is worth it. Half the time you can probably just ask nicely and they'll scrooch. Shebagging is wholly unnecessary. Put that shit on your lap if you're that worried about its safety.
She bagging is worse cause you're preventing from someone sitting down, while men spread their legs cause they have freaking testicles and you don't. No man's going to squish themselves just to make you happy, also it prevents their testicles from overheating which can kill a man's sperm and lower sperm count.
Shebagging because theyre actually stopping somone from sitting down, whereas manspreading is just someone sitting comfortably
While I think there is a limit to how spread a mans legs should be, due to obvious anatomical differences, men can't comfortably sit with their legs as closed as women. He shouldn't be taking up multiple seats like that but having his legs a bit spread is just natural. Whereas putting all your bags on the seat rather than the floor or on your lap us just a dick move.
I hate when people leave bags in the seat next to them way more than this "manspreading" people are constantly talking about that I seem to never see. If what people consider to be manspreading is just a guy with his legs open, he's just giving his junk some room. My brothers don't bother me when they do it. Neither do strangers.
Some guys just need the extra room for their gentiles.
But holy shit, that picture over-exaggerates how much men spread.
If a man spreads any wider than the width of his shoulders, he's just being an ass.
And for "shebagging", that doesn't seem like just a woman problem, sometimes it's more convenient to have your bags next to you for safe keeping or simply there is nowhere else to put them.
Shebagging, because it can be helped and there is no reason to. A man can't really help sitting that way. I could understand it's uncomfortable to sit with closed legs.
Manspreading is just made up, feminist propaganda. Sometimes you just want to let your nuts breath, but even if my legs were taking up a wide birth of space I would always just move them if someone else came and needed a seat. Putting your purse on a seat and taking up a whole space for it is just bullshit though, I mean in the context of if someone needs a seat. I feel like that's what a bitch does when she doesn't want an unattractive male to sit next to her & make her vaguely uncomfortable.
Generally I would say shebagging is worse.
I think feminists exagerate the severity of manspreading. Most guys don't have their legs spread as wide as the guy in that picture.
I feel like it shouldn't be called shebagging, since guys do it with their backpacks all the time too.
I personally think shebagging is not as bad, because it's more comfortable to ask someone to move their bags than to ask some ugly ass bro to close his legs. Like I don't wanna have a discussion about anything involving a strangers crotch in public.
And boohoo to the guys talking about sweaty balls. My boobies get sweaty too, i dont turn around and place them on the chair, I act like an adult and deal with it. If it bothers you, wear better underwear.
My issues with this are as follows:
A. She bagging is a woman REFUSING to move her bags
B. She Bagging is worse because it takes up an entire seat rather than a couple inches of space.
C. You can't place your boobs on a chair, it's physically impossible unless you're laying down and that another conversation.
D. why would you be talking about his crotch if you just asked him to give you more room?
ex. "Could you give me some more leg room please?" -no crotch involved whatsoever.
@Anywayysss a. Men also refuse to move their backpacks though. It just seems like OP is trying to make it a gender thing when it isn't.
b. If it's so hot outside that your balls are sweating, then i don't want to squeeze in next to you on a hot train, so a couple of inches are just as bad.
c. The point is, grow up and deal with it, don't take up space that's not yours to take.
d. It's implicit. Guys should know it's rude, especially on crowded trains, just like people should know not to take up two seats with your bags. There shouldn't be a need for me to say anything.
" It just seems like OP is trying to make it a gender thing when it isn't. "
the practice by a female passenger on public transport of placing a bag on the seat beside her, so denying it to another passenger
www.collinsdictionary.com/.../shebagging
It's not just me its most people...
I mean, are you denying that men do it all the time as well? Seat hogging is a bad habit, but unlike manspreading it isn't gender specific.
You know, just like people putting their feet on the chair in front of them and stuff like that, it's rude in general, and all genders do it.
yes some men do it, but most of the time it's women who do it. lets be real about this
I'm not sure about the numbers, I don't think conclusive studies have been done to determine if its "most." But either way, its still not a gendered practice. Like, most people who go to university nowadays are women. That doesn't mean that universities are female only now and that we should just ignore all the men who go. lol
i think she's implying that there are no women who spread their legs. she bagging is worse than man spreading though. but you are right on the answer though, grow up and deal with it.
Oh my god we get it women are awesome and men suck -.- so fucking transparent how you bring up that more women go to universities nowadays completely out of context and for no other reason than how much you like that fact. Funny that it's sexism when women are doing worse than men, but when it's vice versa that's something to be celebrated. I get a feeling you just really dont like men, and the idea that women are just as flawed as us offends you. (cause women are obviously way better and more precious human beings, although you'd never say that, right?) Go get some male friends. Maybe you'll start seeing them as humans someday, even though we're not as pretty or clean or well behaved as women.
@Journeyman11 Hahaha, ok then. Nothing I said even implied that women are better, nor do I think that. Going to university doesn't make anyone a better person, nor does it guarantee success in today's economy, it was a random example of gendered statistics. My argument is that gendered language has its issues, and pitting one habit that is very male against one that's very gender neutral, while making it seem female, brings up gender conflict that was unnecessary.
I think you should get some female friends, then you would see that not every argument is a critique of your manhood and that most people are able to have nuanced arguments without ad hominem attacks.
And whining about men sitting comfortably is not creating "unnecessary gender conflict"? Why do you care HOW someone takes up space? The point of bringing up "shebagging" is that women are just as guilty of this behavior as men, which makes it completely unnecessary and reproachful to even invent the word MANspreading... But I'm sorry I tried to insult you, that was unnecessary...
They both sound incredibly rude, but I can see a woman not having much space to move her bag. It shouldn't be on a seat, but it could get in the way of standing room by virtue of having physical mass. The legs have no excuse though, it's not hard to sit properly.
You are part of the matriarchy and obviously condone sexism
What are you talking about?
I get that spreading your legs to that extent is just a dick move, but some leniency is required with this. You can’t expect a guy to willingly crush his own balls just to give the person to one side an extra three inches of room. That’s not how it works.
They both have the same result: One less seat for someone else to sit in. So, equally bad.
Man spreading pisses me off because men want to act like they have huge balls. Its not "natural" your just being a dick. You'll be perfectly fine with your legs 6 inches a part no need to be extra
and what about shebagging?
That too but for Some reason manspreading "grinds my gears" more
She bagging is usually to stop creepy men from sitting next to them, man spreading is just being a dick.
not really for the first part. she's just being a bitch
Uh huh. They're both equally awful.
Um, what’s wrong with a man sitting next to you? Wtf
You do realize creepy old men do things like stroke themselves on buses next to or looking at women and stuff all the time. They make rude or obnoxious comments and all kinds of crazy shit. If men could fucking behave themselves then there wouldn't be an issue.
Stfu... if that happens then get up and leave. Doesn’t give you the right to be a bitch and accuse innocent, good people like myself by TAKING UPOUR SEAT DURING RUSH OUR AFTER WE’VE JUST HAD A HARD DAY AT WORK. I’ll ask you nicely to move your stuff so I can sit, and if I don’t see you doing that, then I’ll kick your stuff off the seat and sit down.
Stfu kid lol
I just realized that you’re only 15. Sheabag all you want lol
shebagging is worse. If we didn't have anything sensitive in between then we wouldn't do it so at least we have an excuse. Shebagging is just being an asshole
