Tom Hanks: Subway 'manspreading' claims are false, train 'car was half empty'
NYC subway sign campaign takes stand against rudeness
CTA courtesy pitch to target space-hogging, so far not 'manspreading'
Conversations
MORE:
The term "manspreading" jumped from Tumblr fodder to headline news when New
York City subways displayed a poster imploring "dudes" to stop the "spread" as part of
a campaign urging passengers be considerate.
Men's Rights Activists responded with rage, calling the term "sexist" because men
must spread their legs widely as a "biological necessity." But given recent evidence on
the average size of the male anatomy and the fact that Jon Hamm sits with his legs
crossed, this defense falls short.
Tom Hanks made a more measured argument last week. Responding charges that he
took up too much space on a New York City subway, the actor pointed out that the
train was relatively empty -- creating a surplus of space in which his stance would not
impose on others.
To a certain degree, a manspread will be determined by its environment. In many
cases, slight spread of the knees within the boundaries sanctioned by the seating area
in question is perfectly acceptable.
We've selected a few familiar faces to demonstrate a rough scale below --
their degree of manspread rated between zero (least) and five (most).
Some notable figures exemplify respectable spreads, while some of their
famous peers have yet to catch on.
Jay Z: 4
Jon Hamm: <0, because we've all seen the pictures.
Justin Timberlake: 0, adjusted for proximity to Shaq; Shaq:1, adjusted for body size; Kevin Hart: 1
Barack Obama: 3; Joe Biden: 2

Tom Hanks: Subway 'manspreading' claims are false, train 'car was half empty'

MORE:
The term "manspreading" jumped from Tumblr fodder to headline news when New
York City subways displayed a poster imploring "dudes" to stop the "spread" as part of
a campaign urging passengers be considerate.
Men's Rights Activists responded with rage, calling the term "sexist" because men
must spread their legs widely as a "biological necessity." But given recent evidence on
the average size of the male anatomy and the fact that Jon Hamm sits with his legs
crossed, this defense falls short.
Tom Hanks made a more measured argument last week. Responding charges that he
took up too much space on a New York City subway, the actor pointed out that the
train was relatively empty -- creating a surplus of space in which his stance would not
impose on others.
To a certain degree, a manspread will be determined by its environment. In many
cases, slight spread of the knees within the boundaries sanctioned by the seating area
in question is perfectly acceptable.
We've selected a few familiar faces to demonstrate a rough scale below --
their degree of manspread rated between zero (least) and five (most).
Some notable figures exemplify respectable spreads, while some of their
famous peers have yet to catch on.
Jay Z: 4
Jon Hamm: <0, because we've all seen the pictures.
Justin Timberlake: 0, adjusted for proximity to Shaq; Shaq:1, adjusted for body size; Kevin Hart: 1
Barack Obama: 3; Joe Biden: 2

Men's Rights Activists responded with rage, calling the term "sexist" because men
must spread their legs widely as a "biological necessity." But given recent evidence on
the average size of the male anatomy and the fact that Jon Hamm sits with his legs
crossed, this defense falls short.
Tom Hanks made a more measured argument last week. Responding charges that he
took up too much space on a New York City subway, the actor pointed out that the
train was relatively empty -- creating a surplus of space in which his stance would not
impose on others.
To a certain degree, a manspread will be determined by its environment. In many
cases, slight spread of the knees within the boundaries sanctioned by the seating area
in question is perfectly acceptable.
We've selected a few familiar faces to demonstrate a rough scale below --
their degree of manspread rated between zero (least) and five (most).
Some notable figures exemplify respectable spreads, while some of their
famous peers have yet to catch on.
