If you “manspread” on the subway in Los Angeles, you could be $75 poorer after your ride and eventually banned from using public transport.
Riders who spread their legs a little too much will be fined in accordance with the city’s draconian new “metro manners” rules which have also banned chewing gum.
According to CBS LA, more than 3,000 people have been fined for “metro manners” infractions since the start of the campaign in March. Over 2,000 were ejected for similar offenses.

First time offenders will be socked with a fee of approximately $75 (the exact amount is up to the manners officer’s discretion). Every subsequent offense raises the amount, and after three, four, or five offenses, riders can be temporarily banned from using the subway.
“Manspreading” is a common complaint from female riders who refer to when men sit on a seat with their knees wide apart, often spilling into the adjacent seat and discomforting those seated next to them.
DailyCaller report: Other cities including New York, Boston, and Chicago have campaigns to stop men from “manspreading,” following complaints from feminists who allege that the behavior originates from “toxic masculinity” that “entitles” men to take more space than they deserve.
The issue entered the public limelight after BuzzFeed conducted a “social experiment” to see what it was like to manspread on trains. It was roundly mocked.
These cities have limited their campaigns to billboard advertisements, making Los Angeles the first city to actually fine men for doing it. Riders who commit these infractions are fined $75 for their first offense—a number that goes up subsequent times. After three, four, or five offenses, they may have their transit cards temporarily suspended for up to 3 months.
As the Daily Wire notes, it is possible to buy temporary passes to board the metro, so it’s unknown how they plan to enforce the ban.

Is this why i pay $70 a month for internet; just feeding the beast?
If there wasn’t scandalous garbage like this to report on would this still be happening.
Narcissistic sociopaths acting like a heard of rabid goats eating everything good in sight and vomiting nonsense back on all of us through our computers.
Alternative news seems to be a bigger joke than mainstream news. I shake my head when I find myself landing on huffpost and BBC articles when I look stuff up because the “alternative” news crap seems like it was written by a stoned 12-year-old wannabe entrepreneur.
We live in a world that is spiraling out of control. It is like a backed up sewer ready to burst, but they keep stuffing more crap in front to keep it held back even longer. I’m at the point where I want a time machine just to back back 10-12 years. I can live with that era, that technology, those people. I can deal with it. Just get me out of here!
Don’t know WHO that sloe-eyed (blue too!) blond hottie IS in the vid, but I am in looooooooooooooooooooove………………..
I spread my legs cause my Balls are so big.,
I never thought I’d see the day where there’s a league of people complaining how people sit. What’s next, swagger is going to be micromanaged? We’ll have to watch how we walk? There’s going to be a precise way we need to talk to not offend? (Although that’s already an unspoken problem).
Suppose some gay dude is manspreading to another gay dude showing what he has. Should he be fined? Wouldn’t the SJW scream the cruelty of arresting a gay dude just trying to get some from any gay dude. Think of the possibilities.
I’d agree, but I don’t think gay guys signal like men anymore. All the outies are a bunch of metro queers. They even call themselves queers.
the man spreading girls are all ugly and all have nose piercing
