Zoe Jewell posted this article confused as to why it was only acceptable for men to spread their legs and take up room on public transport or anywhere else for that matter, however if a women was to do that then it wouldn't be considered polite or 'ladylike.'

Recently the word 'manspreading' was added to the online oxford dictionary, Zoe Jewell says 'I felt surprisingly pissed off about it.' I think the main reason for her being so pissed off about it is because men and women are treated differently even narrowing it down to the way people sit. If a women was to sit like that people would be mortified to see it however when a man does it, it is considered normal and a way of which is normal for men. She says that people think women should make themselves small and polite in public places, and that is  most definitely something she doesn't agree with.
