You know I've always considered myself a man, what with the strong jawline and misogynistic tendencies and all... However I cross my legs when I sit down a lot and lately I've been catching flak for it and I've no idea why. Maybe something happened on some TV show that I'm unaware of...
Generally when I sit and read something I cross my legs. Generally its ankle to thigh, although not so much right now since my whole right leg is completely screwed up for the next year or so. Also too when I sit in the subway or someother bench style seat I cross my legs at the ankles. I could see someone insinuating that maybe I don't mind my junk being smushed between my legs but I don't crush my nuts. Whats the big deal?

Sometimes knee to thigh, but not all that often because it usually doesn't sit that comfortably. Crossing my legs is something that I do automatically and it feels weird and uncomfortable to not cross at least my ankles. IMO, it usually looks more put together as well, I think it looks sloppy and low class if you sit there with your legs wide apart.

If you have external genitalia I don't see how you can get one knee on top of the other knee.
