English term or phrase: manspreading
Definition from Oxford:
The practice whereby a man, especially one traveling on public transportation, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats.

Example sentence(s):
  • A student has faced an "unpleasant backlash" over her award-winning chair designed to stop "manspreading". BBC News
  • Anna Dovgalyuk, 20, has started splashing a mixture of water and bleach on the groins of men with their legs spread too far on the St Petersberg metro. The law student embarked on the one-woman crusade to stop manspreading and has accused men in her native Russia of "gender aggression" but says the country is not doing enough the tackle the problem. The Sun
  • Whilst it's most certainly not the politest of ways to sit oneself, does the act of manspreading really legitimise anybody to define space as “inherently gendered”, as Mic subsequently did? Is it actually a case of men monopolising a woman’s space out of intrinsic entitlement? Or does science play a bigger part than we might think? Independent

Definition from Вікіпедія:
Менспрединг (англ. Manspreading — чоловіче сидіння розвальцем, «мужоро́звальні») — звичка деяких чоловіків сидіти в громадському транспорті широко розставивши ноги і займаючи, таким чином, більше одного сидячого місця, через що іншим пасажирам доводиться їхати стоячи.

Example sentence(s):
  • OxfordDictionaries.com додав «менспрединг» у свій список слів ще в 2015 році, але чоловіки продовжують робити вигляд, що мають геніталії слона або хоча б породистого жеребця. - Bit.ua  
  • Британстка дизайнерка Лейла Лорел створила дизайн стільців, що запобігають менспредингу. - inspired  

Explanation:
Багато джерел дають написання "менспредінг", однак за "правилом дев'ятки" після "д" має бути "и".
