Recently there has been a lot of people talking about an award given to a University of Brighton student who invented chairs designed to stop manspreading. Laila Laurel, 23, created the furniture to stop men from spreading their legs wide. Ms Laurel is quoted as saying, that the idea came to her, “From her own experiences of men infringing on my space in public.” Ms Laurel was awarded the Belmound Award for her work. I go into this and a few other things in this video.

It may be non-PC to say it... but...

What about women's boobs?

Should an award be given to the man who invents a bra that makes women's boobs not protrude from their chests or constrict a woman's waistline to a small diameter?

I think I remember such a time... the award was given to the inventor of the whalebone corset.

When are adult humans going to be adult enough to understand basic human anatomy... and accept that anatomical reality as OK in the public space?

Or are we to be forever trapped in the Hawthorne's world of The Birthmark?

Men have testis... which take up actual real space in between the legs. Constricting this real anatomical component of the male human is painful and causes actual harm to the health of the given male human.

Certainly, we live in a non-progressive backward time when the basic reality of the human form is frowned upon and applauded when hidden as much as possible from the public space.
