According to Russia Today, the NYPD has been arresting men for manspreading (i.e. for spreading their legs so far apart that they take up space for more than one person while sitting in a public transportation vehicle). What makes this phenomenon worse than it would otherwise be is the fact that it's mainly minorities who are being arrested for committing it, whereas Whites are overlooked. I'm a minority male who lives in NYC and have been aware of this for some time now and subsequently make sure to sit with my legs closed and with my bag on my lap.
