When a male sits in public and takes up as much space as humanly possible.
Also something triggered femists made up to bash men with. Buzzfeed in particular popularized the saying.

The annoying practice of men spreading there legs much wider than necessary causing others to either be squished or unable to sit. To all the triggered men who are pissy because they’re finally getting called out on their bullshit, men are obviously not expected to sit with their knees perfectly together because of their dicks, but you do not need to take up three seats to protect your balls and you know it.
Manspreader: *spreads out legs as far as humanly possible*
Person riding the subway: Um excuse me but you’re taking up a lot of room and I need to sit-
Manspreader: FEMINIST SHIT!! I’M NOT MANSPREADING!!! YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO OPPRESS ME BECAUSE I HAVE A DICK. GO BACK TO THE KITCHEN YOU FEMINIST SNOWFLAKE BITCH!!!!

Manspreading is the physical manifestation of small dick energy, a biological mutation that evolved in some human males to trick potential mates and/or perceived physical threats into believing there is a big dick present where, in fact, none exists.
That small-dick guy on Urban Dictionary keeps saying that feminists created the term 'manspreading' because feminist women don't appreciate the enormous power of a big dick, while said small-dick guy also claims that dicks are easily crushed/suffocated/damaged by being in close proximity to human flesh.

A feminist term used to discriminate against people with external genitalia who needs to spread their legs to sit comfortably.
"Look at the man over there, he is clearly oppressing women by Manspreading to claim dominance in the name of the patriarchy! ".

The act of men spreading legs - particularly on a subway train - to create space for genitalia, which has come under fire by certain feminist-leaners who insist the practice takes up too much room on crowded trains.

When a man sits down without having his legs so tightly together he cuts off the blood supply to his genitals and his balls drop off.
James sat down on the train, his legs at an angle of approximately 10 degrees. He is manspreading! James is everything wrong with modern society, is a despicable misogynist and is entirely to blame for the patriarchy.
