‘Manspreading has crossed over to the realm of running, and it’s not OK’

[AnonymBruker]

Taking up space in the world seems hardwired for men – but right now, it reeks of selfishness, says Helen Coffey

Something has been niggling at me during my mandated daily exercise under lockdown.

It’s a realisation that’s crept up on me day by day – the same realisation that the person who first coined the term “manspreading” must have experienced when it gradually hit them that men everywhere were taking up an inordinate amount of space on public transport.

A global pandemic that’s put the kibosh on using the Tube and train for the majority of us should really have pressed pause on the phenomenon. After all, where is there to manspread now? Your kitchen table? Your own sofa? But then I started going running again, and I realised the practice has not stopped at all – merely migrated.

For those of us not blessed with a rural setting, outdoor exercise can feel like a minefield during quarantine. I can’t embark on a 30-minute circular jog from my front door without crossing paths with at least 50 people. I live in London’s Zone 1 and this, seemingly, is my punishment for not getting the hell out of Dodge when all my contemporaries started moving to the ’burbs several years ago.

Og kvinner er bare ute etter rike menn for å få barn med dem, og dermed få penger de neste atten år. 

mmmmhm.

Bare sånn apropos hvorfor de færreste kaller seg feminister

Som bevis er vel dette ganske skrale greier, dette er meninger delt for inntekts ervervelse.

Det står ingenting i teksten om at hun er feminist eller at dette er en feministisk kampsak.

Jeg er feminist og synes det innlegget er teit. Det synes nok de fleste feminister.
