'Womanspreading' has officially arrived
Scooch over men. Literally. Because it’s time to make room for womanspreading.
You’ve heard of manspreading right? You know that habit some men have to spread their legs unnecessarily wide, usually on public transport.
While some argue it genuinely is more comfortable for the male species to sit in that position, others believe the spread-eagled stance is a way of displaying dominance.
But whatever the reason, women have had enough of it. So, to fight back they are uncrossing their legs and creating their own version of the power position.
Womanspreading has arrived people.
Lead by celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Chrissy Teigen and Jennifer Lopez, the trend is fast taking over Instagram.
A quick search of the hashtag #womanspreading throws up hundreds of posts of women in various poses with their legs spread apart.
While some are likely poking fun at the traditional manspread position, others portray women adopting an “I own this space, what of it” power pose.
It’s not the first time that celebrities have spawned a trend on Instagram. Earlier this year the Bambi pose was all over social media.
Equally as bonkers was the summer trend where festival goers were all about covering their breasts in sparkles.
Going back to womanspreading, what seems to be most notable about the craze is that the poses women are pulling have shifted somewhat into a more casual, nonchalant stance.
Women are certainly manspreading but when they do it, it’s more relaxed, more glamorous and less, well manly.
