At the theatre this evening (School showcase event) I was subjected to a textbook case of "manspreading" - his legs were wider than the back of the seat in front, with his knee pressed again mine which were straight in front of me.

Rather than shuffle over as I would normally do, my knees stood their ground.

After a few minutes Mr Manspread not only moved his leg away from mine - at a break between two pieces on stage, he left!

It is good that when we start to recognize these male dominance displays as micro aggressions we push back!
Good for you!

It might be me but knee touching feels a bit more personal than elbows. I cant imagine going that far over the line.
