I’d be down with it if it were a citizens arrest by a woman pushed over the edge that day.

It’s like Buffy vs. Faith, but with more awful bubblegum pop and fewer wicked knives.

This paragraph just gets more pathetic as the ages increase.

Manspreading is rude and obnoxious, but it’s ridiculous to arrest anyone for it. If anything it only gives MRAs actual ammo to whine and present themselves as victims and martyrs.

A worse torment would be they escort him through a very convoluted series of transfers to the G train and say, “enjoy the ride.” Some prison sentences are shorter than the time it takes for the G to show up and you go three stops.

They’re just watching waiting for the moment any man’s knees go past the edge of his own seat and then they POUNCE AND TAZE HIM!

Uh, so sitting makes your nuts hurt, stand up bro. My tits are gargantuan but I dont get to just slap people with my elbows because they get mashed up. Jesus.

That was exactly my first thought.

I highly doubt that it was a coincidence.

Yeah I was more alerted to the two latino part of this arrest than the crime they were accused of.

Manspreading is not illegal. But manspreading while being black or brown is.

The NYPD has been arresting people (mostly minority men, mostly late at night) for “crimes” that are basically minor subway etiquette offenses on empty cars for years. Things that most people wouldn’t think twice about, like putting your feet up on an empty seat, can lead to a ticket for the crime of, and here I shit…

I use this strategy:

Is it just me that wonders if it is a coincidence that it was two Latino men? Seems like a pretext to me...

And no mention in this post about how this probably was not a coincidence that the two who were arrested were Latino.

Lol they will arrest manspreaders but not gropers, flashers, or rapists LOL

First they came for the man-spreaders and I said nothing...

I prefer to punish manspreaders the old fashioned way - by sitting my fat ass next to them and slowly squeezing their legs back together through the awesome power of physics.

Great. Another way for the police to selectively arrest minorities.
