Attention ladies!

The women of Instagram are taking a stand (or a seat, if you will) against the phenomenon that is 'manspreading,' with their very own (less irritating) version.

As defined by the Oxford Dictionary (yes, it's actually there, look it up) 'manspreading' is “the practice whereby a man, especially one travelling on public transport, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats.”

However, while 'womenspreading' also involves stretching one's leg to a near-uncomfortable width, the Insta version doesn't make people uncomfortable on their morning commute – and it looks damn fierce if you ask us.

Here's some of our favourite examples:

 

When people base your purity on how you chose to sit ladies can you relate? I was always told to keep my legs together especially during church mass cuz that's what "good girls" do… as I got older my answer to that was to stop going to church lol . . . . #womanspreading #women #womenempowerment #society #rules #social #culture #love #instagood #instapic #happy #new #people #men #momlife #life #wife #whorelife #girls
