Clinton on Manspreading

One recent illustration of why there are critiques of HRC's feminism from the structurally-minded left occurred previously:

at a recent event after the election, Hillary discussed meeting with Putin and how such environments are hostile for women.  She said that Putin "manspreaded" all over the place, offering a humorous demonstration even.

But this alleged "man spreading" robs the charge of all the significance that gave it legitimacy as a social phenomenon/issue.  The idea was born of crowded public transit, in which men's socialization allows them to take up more room then necessary and women's socialization influencing them to take up less, leading to a systemic result of more comfort for men and less for women as the men's expanse is at the women's expense.  Presumably, it applies to other situations in which the different gendered socializations causes the genders to systematically experience different outcomes in purportedly neutral circumstances.

But it doesn't apply to just preferences in sitting when there is no constraint on common space and no effect on anyone else.

Leave it to HRC to take a prima facie useful concept for a recently-conceived/articulated social issue and try to use it for the cool points, only to completely void the concept of any possible importance.
