yeah, real cool of the author of the "leg-spreader" article to block comments from the entry. who's rude? the guy who, since she didn't actually speak to him, may have not realized that his leg was on hers, or the girl that jams an umbrella into a stranger's leg?
The whole rant is laughable. No one is trying to get off on hot "thigh-to-thigh" contact. Get over yourself.
What's sad is that this isn't the first time I've heard a woman complain about this. Please tell me that all ladies are not this dense! It's simple: if you have nothing between your legs, you could not possibly understand.
The fact that you can't sit comfortably in a CTA seat without taking up your fair share of space doesn't obligate a woman, or man, to have a stranger's leg touching theirs. Whether the stranger is "trying to get off on" it or not, it's gross and rude.
If you can't sit on the train without sprawling out all over your neighbor, stand or sit somewhere roomier.
