Men Who Take Up Too Much Room on Subway Explained… With Cats!

[slideshow id=1320]

Men Taking Up Too Much Space on the Train is a blog dedicated to showcasing how easy it is for the masses to obtain pictures of men spreading themselves across two seats on a train, when they could easily take up one. It’s framed, as much as any single serving Tumblog can frame an issue, as a demonstration of one of the myriad small ways in which the societal urgings — that encourage women to be slight and small and above all not impose on others and that encourage men to assert their presence and claim their space — manifest even in the smallest of ways.

Saving Room For Cats posits that it’s not the result of subtle societal messages at all: it’s because all those guys are saving room for enormous photoshopped cats. And sometimes those cats are saving room for other cats.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
