Yes, the issue with man-spreading is primarily that it infringes on the space of the people seated beside the man, or even prevents anyone from using those seats. It's inconsiderate.
Men taking up multiple seats by manspreading aren't the majority of men sitting with a space between their legs.
Far more seats on the subway are taken up by bags, backpacks, gear, shopping items, pets, and garbage.
manspreading is an arrestable offense even if you aren't taking up another seat, because it is deemed as hurting women.
You can put an item, backpack, pet, purse in the seat next to you to prevent people from sitting next to you and you won't even get a word from the police.
If the subway car is less than half full, you will still be punished even if you aren't taking up a seat like Tom Hanks, who was then subsequently attacked on Twitter for his supposed manspreading even though no extra seats were taking up.
He still hasn't publicly apologized to women for it and they weren't happy with his explanation.
Also one of lead voices of global feminists based in the UK posted her recent views on what to do about men a few days ago.
We have a thread going on about her and her thoughts.
