Still, the judge issued an "ACD," or adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, which means the charges will be dismissed if the defendants don't get arrested in the near future. Never mind the fact that the MTA considers manspreading more anetiquette faux pas than a crime: Gothamist points out that it's against the MTA code of conduct to "occupy more than one seat when to do so would interfere or tend to interfere with the comfort of other passengers," but it's highly doubtful the train was actually crowded after midnight.

Hey, Tom Hanks, you better watch out! Ha-ha, nah, you're white.

I dont support any measure to incriminate any more black/ brown peoples...

That being said, this shyt has too many variables to be enforced as a law.
1. It assumes only men spread their legs when sitting down, which is a gendered stereotype
2. what about fat, tall people, etc.
3. you cant make laws against people being a$$holes. Will they start ticketing people who talk too loud on the phone on the train?


I just find it overly-hypocritical when they try to enforce this as a law, yet will glorify the supposed "freedoms" of America. Don't I have a right to sit however I choose? I can own an AR-15, and say kill (insert marginalized identity here), but I cant spread my legs without having a court date? Ridiculous.

And Chet, Blake, Harry and Ryan are not being charged with this. :camby:

I keep my legs about shoulder width apart because frankly, if you can't fit in the seat next to me, it'll be because of my shoulders, not because I'm not sitting with my legs closed (and I'm not a really big dude).

On a train that's not crowded, I don't see the problem. But on a crowded train, a little consideration helps. Though I usually ask dudes taking up space like that to just move over if I want the seat next to them.

Honestly, dude on the right side of the pic isn't really taking up more than that one seat from what I can see
