      Have you never heard about manspreading or how it is indecent for women to spread their legs even a little too far when sitting?

            I was told by Americans in Germany that it’s at least much less common/gendered in Germany than the US.

            Edit: Who on earth would watch a video with that title?

          Manspreading maybe, but not closing your legs goes back all through the victorian time and beyond.

      And gay. I get told by my mother that I sit like gay and then a stupid laugh. Unknowingly to her I am a queer.
