The man who crossed his legs



There he sat, his neck disguised by his over sized shoulders, a tank singlet, gym shorts, eating a burger. His hands were so large he could have held two burgers in each hand. Yet something had caught my eye, it didn't seem quite right. Masculine, Arrogant... and legs crossed? You heard me, one leg over the other. I just about fell on the ground laughing!

And so I came to ponder, was I right to criticise this man, I mean I was somewhat stereotyping him according to his appearance. For all I know behind all those muscles, steroids and protein shakes is a raging homosexual, the only thing missing was his little pinky fingers raised in the air while he was eating. Crudely sexist of me I know, I'm not sure where this ideal came from. We've all seen the old foot on the knee abused by business men in suits, it doesn't usually go the whole way.  So the question is, should a man cross his legs when seated?
