Note that the bus is called "public transportation." It's supposed to be shared not hogged space. As I note in "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck" https://t.co/Noxk5eAXZV, if you want your purse to have its own seat, have Jeeves drive you around in your Bentley. https://t.co/tTlOFPXMgJ

How do you know men want to sit next to you? I suspect that all you need to do is open your cake hole and pontificate. Only the soi-bois will want to stay and hang on your every word.

What was that feminist kerfuffle about "manspreading" again?
Wow, you can cut the hypocrisy there with a knife.

Yeah, I'm betting that men sitting next to her isn't much of a problem in the real world. She's no Amy Alkon.

I used to work with one of those sovereign citizen types. The IRS has a roughly 100% garnishment order on his wages. He will pick up a job for a while, but once tax season rolls around there isn't much point in working for no pay.

Sarafina claims that it is "her" space!
Nope, it is NOT your space. Your fare entitles you to ONE seat, not two.
I sometimes make it a habit of asking the seat hog taking up the spare seat beside them with a bag or whatever it move it so I can sit there. Even if there is another seat available.
And, rolling you eyes at me while you move your bag only makes YOU the jerk, not me.

Of course it's rude to roll your eyes, but there's nothing wrong with putting a bag on the seat when there are several other empty seats. For one thing, it keeps the bag from getting muddy or worse. (Think about what else city people just might be stepping in.) Not that the seats get cleaned more than once a day, of course, but at least people don't typically put their feet on the seats.
Also, it makes the bag easier to hold on to so it doesn't get snatched. If it's a pretty small bag, THEN there's no reason not to put it on your lap, automatically.
