How ridiculously offensive. My husband literally cannot sit like that without intense pain. Idiot.

Sorry but manspreading still isn't a thing.

Does these "feminists" really do not have anything better to do with their lives than to find weird and unusual causes to be offended about and fight? How about the women that spread shopping bags on the seats on public transport? Or the middle age women that expect you to give up the seat just because you are male and can stand just fine. If this woman should would have her vagina pinched every time she would sit down..i bet she would manspread...but there is an idea for this wonderful example of modern day feminism...invent a device that crushes the vagina like legs crush the testicles when not mandspreading...just to be equal in pain...

As a girl, try squeezing your boobs between your folded arms. This comfortable feeling is equal to squeezing one's testes with your legs. Some people are jerks by taking up too much space, but this is a people's problem, not only of men.

What a hypocrite.

subtle misandry

When I saw this article all I could think was,"Do we really need special chairs to stop men from sitting in a specific way?" Couldn't a women just sit the same way as the guy to balance the scales? Maybe I missed something in the article because about half way in I gave up and came to read comments.

This is not feminism! This is woman over men thinking claiming feminism. Feminism would be eliminating one of those chairs. It's about equality not forcing men to crush their tender bits and pieces in between their thighs because it inconveniences women. It would be better designing a chair that allows everyone to relax their legs and hips comfortably without intruding on each others space. I hate when these things claim feminism when it's just trying to get revenge. The only way things in the world will be better is if instead of all this getting back at each other claiming equality we actually work on making everyone comfortable and happy instead of this petty b******t

People should stop with social media and begin to work. In a real work.

What the hell??? Men NEED to sit this way. They have stuff between their legs, its biological. So they think its okay for women to spread their legs and men to sit like ladies. This is stupid and twisted.

How F*****G disrespectful. Men cannot sit in a confined manner because of our bodies. Our midsections are already confined by our clothing and seat sizes, so when we “manspread” we are trying to relieve ourselves of the pain. If I had to sit in that seat, in the hot sun, I wouldn’t care about those tiny pointy barriers — I would spread my legs out to relieve the pain. That section of a male’s body can get hot and agitated from weather conditions and sitting for too long, so wanting to spread out when able to is NOT A BAD THING. Plus, if it’s hot or sticky out, it makes men feel even more uncomfortable. So making a flat chair—a man’s place to sit down and temporarily relieve himself of the pain—no longer able to serve its proper function (sitting comfortably) you just made yourself look, and seem, like a fricken idiot and jerk because your “Superior feminist views” have now made men have to live even more uncomfortably. But I guess that’s the GOAL of all feminists this day and age...

having things hanged between legs is uncomfortable to sit with legs fully closed of course in your sitting disturb other people you HAVE TO close your legs closed enough not to disturb but opened enough to be comfy

This 'manspreading' thing isn't a thing at all. This is all from feminist man-haters. Try taping a zucchini and two walnuts in between your legs and sit with your legs closed.

It's what I'd expect from a final art school project in a typical art school these days- more conceptual than practical, with little depth to the concept. A one trick pony. She will be known as the man chair woman for a while, then (if she doesn't follow up with a body of work that supports other concepts) it will probably fade away. Good for her, getting some attention as a student artist (now it's time to figure out how to make a living ...)

Much ado about nothing.

How about this c**t of a feminist wear a makeshift jockstrap with 2 clementines and a hot dog for a week and see what position she IMMEDIATELY starts sitting. It will shatter her naive patriarchal views

This is the b******t that makes any rational person hate feminist c***s.

No testicles, no opinion!

How hard can it be to sit comfortably without taking the comfort from others? Some people need to go back to kindergarten and learn to share.

When you sit down and relax your muscles, your legs will naturally part, therefore, it's the most comfortable way to sit and that is why men do it (as most of us don't wear skirts).
