I've noticed the only women who complain about the normal phenomenon they refer to as 'manspreading' are women who would prefer castrated men.
Naw. I love men. Intact men.

I don’t like men rudely taking up too much space.

So women don't? Also, not just balls but men also have different hips which naturally causes them to spread.

Firstly, the guy isn't in the best shape himself. Secondly, the chance for any "privacy" posts that I would've made in his defense went out the window when he went on the "in on fairness" line trying to justify his behavior by asking if the woman should've been sitting in the emergency exit due to her weight.

I have had people act spastic on a plane next to me, ticks and I ignore it. I have seen my share of strange people but I don't want to call attention to them at all. Fat people are everywhere so I see them as a person first.

I also gravitated to those who were picked on in school or the new kid on the block to show friendship.. do unto others as you would have them to do to you. By the grace of God go I.

I don't pick on fat or skinny people. I see them all as equal.

I look more deeper in their character . I have seen good and bad people in all sizes , races and colors. But the quality of the inside is what tells me the difference.
I'm legitimately curious. Why exactly do you think this woman was in the wrong? Is it because she took a photo of the man's phone, which was in plain view? Because she confronted a man making nasty comments about her? Because she let the airline know of such behavior?

I must admit, when I first looked at the story, I was inclined to write that the woman was wrong to invade the man's privacy. But, upon further review, the woman, who was in close proximity to the man, may have innocently viewed his screen and saw the nastiness that the guy was writing. Under such a situation, she would've been absolutely right in my view to confront the man (how many people are going to just sit by and take abuse thrown their way, regardless of whether or not they were meant to see the abuse??) and to let the airline know what kind of passenger they had on board.

Men's balls are not that big spreading their thighs that far apart like I've seen. I think some of them do it on purpose just to touch women next to them.

Have you been flying lately? Nearly every airlines seats have become so narrow that one has to be underweight and short to maybe fit in them.

Yea, That's going to go off real well on any flight when he puts his hand down his pants to pull his cojones up. You must not know male anatomy to be thinking they hang closely below a guys belly button.
