There's a reason men spread their legs: it's hot down there, we need to cool it.

Also, how about shebagging? And all the other unacceptable behavior people have in public transportation? I've seen people clipping their nails, blasting music(?) on their phone, etc

We're headed down a dangerous path with these regulations.

what is shebagging? Sounds like we should stop coining phrases like these that fuel debate on sexism

It's the practice by a female passenger on public transport of placing a bag on the seat next to them.

I agree...though one must admit it has a clever ring to it. :)

It's not a regulation, it's just a sign.
