"Sky-High Showdown: How One Woman Took a Stand Against Manspreading in the Air!"

In the video, which has since amassed over 17 million views, Erin filmed her legs crammed up and totally trapped in her seat, while the two other passengers sitting on each side of her were comfortably “manspreading”.

Manspreading is a term used to describe a man sitting with his legs spread wide apart in public, taking up too much space and intruding on others. It’s often used in reference to men sitting on public transport, such as buses or trains.

Erin wrote over the infuriating clip: “female rage” in reference to a trend on TikTok used to express the uninhibited anger of women and to challenge gendered stereotypes about women’s emotions.

The phrase “female rage” is often used to describe how women express anger in pop culture, such as in music or movies.

Moreover, the trend has become a way for women to share their experiences and sympathize with one another. 

The situation was undoubtedly uncomfortable, both mentally and physically, for Erin works as a model and measures 184cm (6′ 0½”) according to her agency’s profile.

She echoed her distress in the caption, writing: “Why would anyone EVER need that much room??? “I tried to get him to move but he wouldn’t.”

While some men attempted to excuse the abhorrent behavior, the vast majority of people came in support of Erin, as a TikTok user commented: “Man spread back with confidence girl.”
