Manspreading

I think that some people overreact to this "problem" even assuming ulterior motives for a man sitting on a chair alone with their legs slightly apart, assuming they're trying to mark their territory and assert their dominance when it really isn't that deep. I barley even pay attention to how my legs are positioned when i sit with nobody else near. Also, it's hypocritical to throw in a misandrist term like that and pretend that some women don't take up space with their purses or bags; But you don't see people calling it "womanspreading".

Any man who says its less comfortable is full of shit. Im a man with a big set of balls and I dont find it any less comfortable to sit with my legs closed or even crossed. Men who whine about this are neanderthal. Its toxic masculinity in action.

The way most American men sit with their legs crossed - an ankle resting on their knee - is another space-occupying posture.

An alien might think that all American men have such gigantic gonads that they have to give them loads of room, while men from other cultures have such tiny balls that they can comfortably cross their legs by resting one thigh on the other.

Sitting with your legs spread SO far apart, that they impede / intrude on the "space" of others, is just rude, period. No matter WHAT gender you are. And this has nothing to do with testicles !

Can a transsexual male---a biological woman who identifies as a man, be guilty of mansplaining?

It's okay if you can lift your nutsack.

I always sit criss cross apple sauce.

Only Asian men wouldn’t have a problem

FFS. Gotta let the "boys" breathe. Women have every right to sit that way too. No need for people to get so bent about it. Kindly ask for the seat if you need it, sheesh.

The thing about having external genitals is that you can injure them fairly easily if you sit strangely. If you sit with your legs open on public transport or something and your leg slightly nudges mine when I sit down next to you, whatever. If you're taking up an entire additional seat and blaming it on your genitals, you aren't necessarily sexist, but you are most certainly, fittingly enough, an absolute prick.

Yes, you have raised a good point on anatomical differences which is this. Male anatomy is designed to keep sperm just a bit cooler than body temperature. As a result, the scrotum is temperature sensitive. When you are cold, your scrotum contracts pulling your balls close to your body to keep the sperm warmer. When you are hot, the scrotum relaxes causing your balls to dangle and get cooler. When they are dangling, they can get in the way like you were suggesting. When you are cold, it's not an issue. So, you can see that sagging is not a permanent condition for men, therefore it does not indicate aging like saggy boobs do for women.

A limp penis is a different issue. That weighs heavily on the male psyche. That Oz guy is but one such example. I'm ready for your next question. I know that you think in very fine detail.

It just might offend them soon enough.

It can be perfectly comfortable for a guy sitting with their legs closed or even sitting cross-legged, but only if you pull your balls out from between your legs so that they're resting on top. But it's often impossible to do that discretely, so that then you're judged instead for publicly groping yourself. So you can't really win either way.

I love your hypothetical thinking because it is the sign of an intriguing mind. Consider this. A jock is a bra for your balls. Now, inquiring minds like yours need to sort out the details. I am here for you. Please ask me any follow up questions. I want you to sleep soundly tonight with the ball comfort problem put to rest.

Its actually not a problem. They dont get smushed. They just fall into place.

I always just cross my legs when I sit. Like how boojum explains it.

Mmmmmm, if only you could share your imagination with us. What a gift that would be.
