Having to breathe in women's perfume can be extremely unpleasant, and can be considered a "public menace" approximately on the same order as men who spread their legs on public transit. I mean the sometimes overpowering scent of the perfume can create its own do-not-enter space, and it's not fair that other passengers should have to breath in something that could cause a negative reaction or make them sick. In fact, women wearing perfume in public spaces is actually worse than manspreading, as the latter does not make people break out in allergic reaction or to become sick.
So, I can't take the manspreading complaint seriously until some gender appropriate policy that makes females accountable for their not always welcome "aromatic" contribution to the bus or train. Fair is fair, ladies. Can't have it both ways.
Besides, at the least manspreading is visually appealing.

If a guy doesn't manspread it means he has no balls if you close your legs together you squish your balls.

Nothing pleasant about it, though I actually do find Shalamar very appealing. I wear cologne about twice a year. Besides that, I like the way a guy's body odor smells. That's the best for me.

A woman's scent - natural or otherwise - is comparable to a man's scent - natural or otherwise. You'll have to find a female action that is more equivalent to "man-spreading" than that. PS - Personally, I rarely have a problem with scents, whether they emanate from a man or a woman. However, there is absolutely nothing that is visually appealing about "man-spreading".

A over abundance of any smell is usually bad...whether it’s meant to be good or not.

Man spreading shouldn’t even be a thing. We have shot between our legs that we can’t quite jam together. It’s not sexist or invasive. Might as well complain to a handicapped person about how much space their wheelchair takes up you heartless sonsabitches!!!

I didn't start hearing about "manspreading" until about 5 or 6 years ago maybe earlier. Why was it not a problem until around the turn of the 20th to 21st Century?

99% of the time, scent of a woman's perfume is very appealing. Also when a woman flicks her long hair and it brushes over your face unwittingly, more often than not, the smell of her shampoo or conditioner is pleasing.

Am also anti-perfume BUT
Men's colognes, aftershave lotions and over applied deodorant stink as much (or more) than women's perfumes.
I have some relatives who know I have problems when around perfumes and, I swear, they put on extra when coming to the house. Riding in a vehicle with them is pure torture.

MarvI know a guy who uses so much Scented Speed Stick that you know when he has entered the room even when your back is towards him. He worries about "body odor" and really stinks big time as a result.

A woman's scent - natural or otherwise - is comparable to a man's scent - natural or otherwise. You'll have to find a female action that is more equivalent to "man-spreading" than that. PS - Personally, I rarely have a problem with scents, whether they emanate from a man or a woman. However, there is absolutely nothing that is visually appealing about "man-spreading". I was not referring to a woman's natural scent, that is just a natural thing that happens. Having a natural odor does not equate to "taking action". I am talking about women who wear perfume and that what this comes down to is choice. The woman is choosing to put perfume on, and I happen to find many of the manufactured scents that women wear in public to be offensive. They make my eyes water and they make me cough and gag, and I do think these scents impose. And I think this correlation is a no-brainer. Men who man spread in public are, in a sense, choosing to do this. But even that is giving the opposing POV the benefit of the doubt as I think the spreading of the legs thing is, for men, kind of a natural thing for men to do because of their anatomy. But women (and a few men, god help us) complain and say that men can be more considerate and choose to take up extra space by this "act" and can choose to hold their legs together (which would be somewhat uncomfortable for most guys) Well, the semi-toxic scent that emanates from females who wear perfume actually take up more space than the manspreading ever could, as the scent extends itself more than the 10-15 inches to be tallied from the spread of a man's thighs. And putting on a perfume that may be offensive to others IS an action taken by women. Putting on deodorant is an action. Putting on perfume is an action. As far as what is or is not visually appealing, well, that would come down to a matter of personal likes and dislikes. I love it when a guy spreads his legs on the subway. I just love the visual, gets me aroused, makes me horny... Being a straight man, I imagine you would not be likely to find man-spreading visually appealing or sexy. And I imagine perhaps you don't object when an attractive female shows a little bit of leg or some cleavage. Whatever floats your boat!
