Manspreader on train

I'm on a train. Man sat next to me is manspreading into my personal space. I'm leaning away so much my back is aching! WIBU to forcefully elbow him to move the fuck out of my space? It's his top half that's the issue. I can't move my left arm without whacking him.

Why not just ask him to move - wake him if necessary. Can't really see why you wouldn't

What's the acceptable response for female offenders?
I'm confident in bashing male offenders out of the way but worried about the etiquette when it's knob head women

Don’t be passive aggressive. Just politely ask him to move.

Stab him in the nuts with a biro. He'll probably thank you for it

I've taken to just pushing my leg/arm up against them and taking up as much space as them. 100% success rate so far in them shifting awkwardly and moving away.
