A video has surfaced of a woman refusing to move her designer handbag off of priority seating in a packed New Jersey train, despite multiple requests and the insistence of a train conductor and transit police.
The woman, pictured in thigh-high green boots, a blue baseball cap and a camel-coloured scarf, is initially shown to be pushing her designer Louis Vuitton handbag into the leg of the man sitting next to her to get him to move.
In a second video, the man next to the seated passenger has left, though her Louis Vuitton bag remains in the middle of the seat next to her, with other passengers continuing to complain about the inconvenience.
The woman still has her headphones in and is looking down at her phone, so to get her attention, the conductor lightly taps her handbag.
“Don’t touch my stuff!” the woman shouts, swatting the man’s hand away.
Finally, transit police enter the train and escort the woman away, and the busy train was finally able to pull away from the station.
She did not cooperate with police and left on her own, the website reported.#####
What a joke.
No fine for 'woman-spreading', no cooperation with the police and just walked away.
If that'd been a man he would've likely been fined for man-spreading, and when he did not cooperate with the police...arrested.
Yes, some women put their bags on the seats so no one can sit next to them and they can travel in comfort.
Something should be done about it.
Some women push their bags into men to get them to move...if the man pushes back he gets arrested and tossed in jail for 'assaulting a woman'.
Yes, men are being pushed around and beaten down on public transport.
Something should be done about it.
