Dan won 27-24 in overtime.
I remember the ant chair by Lazy Boy. That didn't sell well, so they took it off the market.
I like big comfy sofas. Something you can sit on and sleep on, but good recliner has them all beat.

I saw this yesterday. She wins an award for making a chair to prevent men to prevent "manspreading" from taking up others personal space but also invented a chair for women to encourage "womanspreading" to encourage women to take up other people personal space? ROFLMAO
Did at any point anyone say to her just use a chair with armrest.

It screams chip on the shoulder.
I sure did.
Manspreading according Feminist:
Apparently the reason we (men) sit like this is solely to invade the private space of women. Maybe It's because we have twigs and berry's between our legs that get pinched and cause pain. Or that it can cause medical conditions that if not treated can cause severe damage. Testicular torsion - Symptoms and causes
But then again since when have men done anything other than for the sole purpose of harassing women?
Maybe it is a subway/public transportation thing.

I don't remember ever having seen someone do this "manspreading" type of sitting anywhere they could have been taking up space in a public transport, library or anywhere else because of it. I commuted to university for over 5 years by train and bus.
But well, our public seats here in Germany are rarely benches but actual seats. The only problems you can have in getting a seat is if someone overweight is taking up space (rare) or simply because every seat is full.
Also, that construction looks highly uncomfortable, I rather sit on the floor.

From what I know I think that is the main grievance. And I understand that some guys probably do take up more room than need for their twig and berries, just to be a-holes. But to say we don't need any room at all for em is outrageous. It really gives ya new respect for "tuckers" though. Takes a real tough person to endure that kinda pain!

Yeah, I think that's mainly what it is. When I first heard the term "manspreading," it seems it was always told in the context of large city subway systems.
Those of us who live in flyover country don't have to worry about problems like this.
You mantastically managed to mansplain manspreading.
I'm pretty sure its a prank. Male and female chairs. I don't know if they're pranking feminists or men, but its a prank.
Poe?
Pet rocks were more earth shaking.
Then I am not sure how a chair is going to solve that problem. Unless the plan is to install them on subway cars and buses. That does not seem very practical or economical. Sudden stops would create an entirely new problem with the invasion of personal space.
