The battle of the sexes is, once again, spilling over onto the subway.
The Tumblr "Men Taking Up 2 Much Space on the Train" (which has garnered some recent media hits)
has been posting photos shaming male passengers who widely extend their
legs on public transit, along with sitters who causes unnecessary
discomfort to the female passengers around them.

Similar Tumblr "Move the F*k Over Bro," has also been posting similar photos and countless messages of support and commiseration from women. Of course, some men who've seen these blogs are quick to defend themselves, citing largely physical reasons like having a bigger build. There was also a short-lived counter attack, "Move the F*ck Over Sis", highlighting situations in which women over-extend themselves on public transit.

This passive-aggressive battle isn't likely to have a huge effect on either gender's posture tendencies. But maybe, just maybe, it'll encourage us all to think a little harder about how much space we take up.
