I’ve begun silently fighting back against jerks on the subway who sit as spread out as possible. Basically I match your stance.

This guy was sitting on the train with his knees splayed and his hands on the seat to either side of him. So I slowly backed up into the seat next to him forcing him to either move his hand or have me sit on it. Then I spread my knees equally wide and stuck my elbows out just as far.

It’s amazing how uncomfortable this makes men.

Eventually he closed his knees more (so I closed mine.) The ladies across from me noticed this silent warfare and were slightly confused. When he finally got off the train and I sat like a “lady” they realized what I did and grinned at me.

Yep. This is my new thing to do on the subway.

ur a little rebel i like u

pssst hey 
You know why most guys sit like that?
It’s a body language signal known as a “crotch display” and it’s used to show dominance/confidence. 
This is why guys get uncomfortable when women do this, and also why women are told to sit “like a lady” - basically, without the crotch display. When women do it, they’re telling all the dudes that they’re either stronger or on equal standing with them. 

So I say right on, ladies! Go for it.
