The first two are pretty widely acknowledged as a burden, or at least a good reason to switch cars, but I'm glad someone is finally recognizing the trouble with mass transit feminists. If they're going to get so vocal when you strategically graze their chest with your upper arm, what's a Metrocard even good for?

Two more under the cut.
