Manspreading has a physical cause

Any one fancy pointing out how transphobic they are being?

Not a single mention of cis gender or people who identify as men! No body shouting that the article is exclusionary or triggering in the comments.

Apparently if an article is all about the poor men you don't have to tie yourself in knots trying to avoid acknowledging sex differences.

That did have paragraphs when I wrote it 🙄 but at least the link seem to have worked!

This is one of the many reasons why men should not be permitted to compete in women’s sports. No amount of hormone treatment will change male bone structure, limb carrying angle, pelvic and shoulder girdle proportions and advantage in running and throwing.

And that’s without considering the much higher cardiac output, lung capacity, proportion of fast twitch muscle fibres, oxygen carrying capacity etc.

The overall width of the pelvis is relatively greater in females and the angle of the femoral neck is more acute. These factors could play a role in making a position of sitting with the knees close together less comfortable in men

It's hardly comfortable for women, either! The only reason women do not spread is that we have been indoctrinated not to display our crotches.
