If catcalling is about men feeling they are entitled to women’s time and attention, this quite often literally pushy behaviour is about men feeling entitled to women’s space also. One illustrated suggestion is that we all need to get ‘thigh bumpers’ to protect our seat on the train. But public transport users shouldn’t have to defend to the death their allocated space; instead it would be nice if these selfish travellers learned that it isn’t acceptable to assume your right to comfort trumps someone else’s. It’s just a shame it takes a public awareness campaign to drive that home, rather than a simple sense of equity.
