Instagram has a new sexy trend: #womanspreading

If you want to keep up with the times a bit, then you sit down properly. With your legs wide apart.

And then you let a little photo of yourself be taken. Because the latest trend on Instagram is indeed #womanspreading. What? Yes, it's nothing more than posing with your legs spread wide apart. You can make it as sexy or as awkward as you want, but it's really about the message behind it.

Because before, there was only ‘manspreading’. Men They would sit so wide to gain more respect, to stand out more, and to show who is in charge. This came under fire in 2014 because women felt it was unacceptable for men to sit so widely in, for example, the subway. They literally left women standing. And this happened in multiple places, everywhere. Now women are standing up for themselves via social media. With the hashtag, they now show that they cannot be easily dismissed. That they also have something to say and that they will not be pushed over. Not at work, not in terms of salary, not in the pub, and not on the street.

Impressive, indeed. And certainly a cool result. Because let's be honest: when you see all those pictures lined up, you can't help but find these women very bold and powerful. Go girls!
