They are all over this " manspeading " and " gay leg crossing " here.. What are your thoughts? Should same be mandated?

BTS sky train in Bangkok

I really did think the pictures and the announcement ( in Thai and English ) was pretty funny , but in fairness BTS can get packed , particularly city centre , not much " Sabai Sabai " in Bangkok , everything is stressful.

i think "not having your legs as close together as possible" is physiologically better for men. cause testicles don't want to be squeezed or too warm. but also taking more space than you have to, taking away someone elses space is overbearing. i would be ok with a mandate depending on how it's articulated.

[molonski2]

You are fined according to the announcement , I just stood.

[Dargil]

I think manspreading is necessary. Manspreading should be done discreetly. But It is necessary to provide comfortable clearance at not unnecessarily compressing the scrotum testicles and penis. Into a tight area.

I read somewhere some chick who would kick guys in the nuts for man spreading , I did not see anyone spreading on BTS. The mandate ( with fine ) is pretty funny.

[Dargil]

"Some chick" Definitely relieves her from the never hit a chick rule among men. What she needs is a knockout punch. That only seems fair. Don't you agree?

[molonski2]

Yes I agree 100% .

It looks like they’re just asking men to be considerate of the fact that they’re sharing a space with others. It’s not anymore “mandated” than asking people to not leave their popcorn behind in a movie theater

[molonski2]

It is , because they have another announcement saying you will be fined , which is pretty funny , unlikely anyone would be , but sure I like how they do it and I had a great laugh , but yeah in town centre its packed on BTS.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Well, a private service has the right to decide how they run things

[molonski2]

Sure , well its government infrastructure actually , far from private , it would never have been built , world class stuff.

Apparently, sitting in a certain way means something now. Can society get any more petty and insecure?

[molonski2]

Here it's actually about space , but I found it kinda funny 😂 , very much how things roll here , I've not been in Bangkok for years , heard it over load speaker , then couldn't resist the sign.

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🚄 I'm passionate about exploring different places and cultures. Regarding the BTS Skytrain in Bangkok, ensuring all passengers have a comfortable ride is essential. Implementing common courtesy and respect for space, rather than strict mandates, can help create a pleasant travel experience for all passengers. Travel should be enjoyable and respectful for everyone! 😊

[molonski2]

Always you are so polite and reasonable Jason.. delightful.

[Lilizabeth]

Lol nay, whatev'r the yellow guys art doing we shouldst doth the opposite because those gents art m'rons

[Dongie]

So what's the matter? Does she need room for her nuts? 🍆😅

[molonski2]

hahahahaha , it is pretty funny.

[Dongie]

If women had nuts there would be a law requiring all nutless folk to sit in a tight formation so that big nutted women could have the extra room.

[slatyb]

Manspreading is obnoxious.

[molonski2]

The gay one is not spreading.

[slatyb]

No, because they are generally considerate.
