[quote=Anonymous]I read this article and since I was about to move out of ny anyway, I decided to give it a try in my last 2 weeks in the city. For context, I’m in my mid 40’s, 5’4”, Asian, 120 lbs. https://www.thecut.com/2015/01/manslamming-manspreading-microaggressions.html I didn’t keep a running count like the author of the article. I yielded to men with kids (not very many of those), old men who looked 65+, men who looked mentally ill or scary, anyone who looked disabled, or if I was walking near the edge of the train platform and feared getting knocked in. I lived downtown, so mostly I was running into men in suits. And I ran into a lot of them. At least 4-5 a day. Many times it would be going up or down the stairs to the train. They simply did not yield, even if there was plenty of room to do so. They would apologize about 15% of the time. I never apologized. You have to have strong shoulders to walk like a man. I ran into women as well, but far far less often. [/quote]
