“Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says she stopped calling herself a feminist after hearing the word ‘manspreading’ had been invented.” My Note: As discussed in the video, handbag spreading, and obesity spreading, are far more of a problem (even far more of a preventable problem) than so-called man-spreading ever will be.

“…There is little dispute that men commit far more violent acts than women. According to FBI data on crime in the U.S., they account for some 90% of known murderers. And a study published in American Society of Criminology finds that men account for nearly 80% of all violent offenders reported in crime surveys… But…the…
