*I make an exaggerated motion like I'm going to punch you in the arm*

It's also harder for men to cross their legs at the ankles.

... Wait, how does that work? There shouldn't be anything impeding that. I can't imagine any condition that would make that difficult, short of major disabilities.


Unrelatedly, Jamie's gender feels (or more precisely the apparent complete lack thereof) have been suggested to be a fairly common thing among cisgender folk. (I don't recall if I had a point to linking this other than "this comic made me think of that blog post".)

It makes it harder to actually get one leg over the other without putting the knees over each other.

Crossing and tucking one foot behind the other leg actually has a measurable failure rate for men.
