It doesn't bother me, and this thread explains why. On average, conservatives and liberal progressives have quite different perceptions of the opposite sex. I write from the perspective of a once liberal, now conservative woman.
(2) I was raised in a feminist environment, where the needs & preferences of men were routinely disregarded or reviled. I once had a lengthy train commute & often the car was crowded & seats were at a premium.
"Manspreading" only occurred to me after I read about it online.
(3) Because of the brainwashing, I saw manspreading as either a reflection of unconscious sexism or deliberate arrogance.
It didn't occur to me that some men might need to do it, in order to be comfortable.
There's another reason, too...
(4) I think that nowadays some men deliberately manspread, because it's fun to trigger people.
As a conservative woman, I sometimes try to trigger the left, too. It breaks the monotony of being silenced in many areas of life, & seeing millions of people believe media lies.
(5) Fortunately, I don't know what it's like to literally have testicles. I can imagine there all kinds of issues though, such as having to sit a certain way to provide more space for others, or to appease a liberal progressive in your life.
(6) When I see manspreading, I just laugh silently to myself. Because I know why men do it. On the left, you're not even allowed to talk abt a courageous act having anything to do with balls, because "that's sexist!"
Pfft. My heavens it is more peaceful over here on the right.
(7) I saw a tweet the other day admonishing people for saying "guys" instead of "people."
If you get offended by little things like this, you're not busy enough. There is a lot to do, if you want economic and physical security, and a happy, productive life.
(8) In my experience, the gap between perceptions of the opposite sex on the left and right is enormous. I understand the indoctrination because I was steeped in it, and have now completely undone it.
It's vital to my safety that I choose a potential partner wisely.
(9) I want a man who takes good care of himself in every way (because I do my best, too.)
I could never be attracted to a liberal ever again. Their values are totally at odds with mine. "Manspreading" is just one example of the issue.
(10) If I get married to a man I want him to always feel comfortable being himself and functioning in ways that respect the differences between men and women. I do my best to understand how the male and female mind typically works, in terms of human nature. It makes life easier.
(11) The brainwashing of the left didn't teach me how to have a healthy relationship with the opposite sex. So I crashed and burned a few times, usually because I picked the wrong guy for me.
Mutual respect is only possible when we understand the other person enough.
(12) I have another thread on the go at the moment, on my #HotConservativeMen list (a very popular topic, it seems.)
That's where this issue arose. I write about what I think makes a man hot, or not.😁
Pandering to ID politics is not sexy at all.
(13) If you find male feminism attractive, go for it. Knock yourself out.
I'll be over here with the conservative men and women who respect nature, individual freedom, and personal success.
It's about love trumping hate.😍🇺🇸

(1) So, Twitter deleted a tweet of mine without even telling me. I went to click on a link from a Nov 12th DM chat with someone & I had to screenshot the tweet in a nanosecond.
(2) And, a special shoutout to @5thtimeS for saying Walter Duranty.
There's a whole slew of traitors & seditionists in our history & I want us all to remember them, forever. I bet a young DJT heard about them from his Dad.
(3) One of my favorite hobbies is showing folk the mountain of historical evidence that it's actually the Democrats not the Republicans who supported slavery, war, violence, and in particular, actual "white supremacy," and racism against Jews.
I write about a range of topics, with the overarching theme that the USA* makes the best Freedom Fries & I'm glad they exist and export them to allied countries.
*244 years and counting, if you can keep it.
(2) Thread links in no particular order. This one started out on lawsuits and morphed into a broader topic:
Constantly amazed at people who think that the original antifa (Germany, 1930s) which were all about killing as many Jews as they could, is not the same as they are today. ie still trying to kill Jews. And conservatives.
(2) On top of the other BS we're having to deal with right now, I have to sift through all those saying they're anti-Communist (I sure am) to identify the actual Nazis among them.
Typically they use the term "Bolsheviks" as the object of their hate.
(3) That's because the cadre of disaffected Germans radicalized on the very day WWI ended, such as Hitler and his buddies, hated the "Bolsheviks", who they considered were Jewish.
It gets complicated by the leftist lies about Hitler being right wing. (He wasn't.)
(1) Thread: You (2020) can't keep a good woman down.
@tracybeanz is an accomplished citizen journalist (the kind who do actual free-and-fair journalism like in the old days) who just had a house fire. Her courage & grace are an example to us all.
(1) So today I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm publicly questioning an aspect of the Trump campaign's work.
Yes I am confident about the lawsuits being successful but they need to be filed ASAP & I need to see the details. The usual statements are not enough bc:
(2) Some of us are info geeks who like to dig a bit deeper than "trust the plan." Folk are getting assaulted in the street, with Dem-run PDs and media continuing to ignore them.
This cannot stand. The survival of the Republic itself is at risk.
(3) For >4 years now I've been able to deal with the pain of watching innocents getting assaulted or even killed because I knew the 2020 election would give us a chance to shore up Congress, & state govts & let out the throttle on the MAGA agenda.
