Woman dumps bleach and water on male commuters' laps to punish them for manspreading
A woman in Russia has embarked on an anti-manspreading campaign by splashing a mix of water and bleach onto offenders’ crotches.
Men on public transportation sitting with their legs spread wide are guilty of “a disgusting act that is being fought around the world — but hushed up here,” she said.
Dovgalyuk, who studies
law, took a bold stand against manspreading in the underground train
system in St. Petersburg, Russia, by reportedly splashing a mix of 30
liters of water and six liters of bleach onto the laps of men she deemed
to be sitting in an offensive manner.
“This solution is 30 times more concentrated than the mixture used by housewives when doing the laundry,” she says in a video. “It eats colors in the fabric in a matter of minutes, leaving indelible stains.”
“Everyone can immediately understand which body part controls the behavior of these men,” she said.
She says her “video is
‘dedicated’ to all ‘men’ for whom manspreading is the norm of conduct”
and insists that she was acting “on behalf of everyone who has to endure
the manifestations of you declaring your macho qualities on public
transportation.”
Calling
herself a “social activist,” Dovgalyuk has previously attracted
worldwide attention by flashing her underwear to commuters to raise
awareness for laws in Russia regarding upskirting, a term used to
describe the act of secretly photographing up someone’s skirt without
their permission.
“My action is absolutely real,” she said.
She added that no commuters had sued her so far.
“I don’t think people are going to go to the police to file a report about jeans,” she said.
