I didn’t realize how that sounded Lmao. I do exclusively sit legs folded. Just different variations.

the unstraightest sitting habits

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 day ago

society even made sitting gendered ??

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 day ago

Have you never heard about manspreading or how it is indecent for women to spread their legs even a little too far when sitting?

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I've been told that this is an American thing.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Manspreading maybe, but not closing your legs goes back all through the victorian time and beyond.

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 hours ago

You've been told a lot if things to be american that aren't (judging by YT videos titled something akin to "X Things YOU Thought Were AMERICAN But AREN'T!")

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I was told by Americans in Germany that it's at least much less common/gendered in Germany than the US.

Edit: Who on earth would watch a video with that title?

[-] protogen420 12 points 1 day ago

do people actually care about this?

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 hours ago

Sometimes, apparently.

When you are trying to fit 3 people into the backseat and the shortest person decides to occupy like half the horizontal space, seems like some people make a point of manspreading...

!egg_irl

!egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning one's gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics.

If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar.

General Rules:

  1. No bigotry.

  2. No spam, bots, or vote farming.

Rules on Content:

  1. No reposts.

  2. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, "trans/not trans" lists, picrew, or non-memes.

  3. No visible names or usernames.

  4. Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

  1. Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".

  2. Posts that assume the viewer's gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:

    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]
    • [CW: Transphobia]
    • [CW: Violence]
    • [CW: Weapons/Firearms]
    • [CW: Disturbing Imagery]
    • [CW: Fictional Egging]
  3. You may optionally include other tags, such as:

    • [Transmasc Meme]
    • [Transfem Meme]
    • [Nonbinary Meme]
    • [Gender-Nonspecific Meme]

Rules on Post Text:

  1. If possible, include an image description for accessibility.

  2. Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

  1. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.

  2. You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.

  3. No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.

Recommendations:

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
