Proposition[edit]

My opinion on manspreading is nuanced, and I believe I can speak on the subject due to my innate qualifications (balls) regarding manspreading. On one hand, I can empathize with people tired of manspreading, because personal space is an actual issue, but on the other hand I know what it's like to have balls, and all the uncomfortabilities that come with having balls. They can quickly become filled with a sweaty funk in a matter of seconds, and you can't comprehend how disgusting feeling one's balls stick to their legs is, so it's more comfortable for men to spread their legs out and not have to deal with that sweaty funk.

Uh-huh. In my opinon, we can ask if they can hold their legs shut, but respect the "No".--Alola, my name is Delibirda! (talk) 12:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
I wrote this before I knew I was trans, this is rather embarrassing. I was a different person back then. Oxyaena Harass 15:22, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
