Oxford:
The practice whereby a man, especially one traveling on public transportation, adopts a sitting position with his legs wide apart, in such a way as to encroach on an adjacent seat or seats.
Example sentences:
A student has faced an "unpleasant backlash" over her award-winning chair designed to stop "manspreading". (BBC News)
Anna Dovgalyuk, 20, has started splashing a mixture of water and bleach on the groins of men with their legs spread too far on the St Petersberg metro. The law student embarked on the one-woman crusade to stop manspreading and has accused men in her native Russia of "gender aggression" but says the country is not doing enough the tackle the problem. (The Sun)
Whilst it's most certainly not the politest of ways to sit oneself, does the act of manspreading really legitimise anybody to define space as “inherently gendered”, as Mic subsequently did? Is it actually a case of men monopolising a woman’s space out of intrinsic entitlement? Or does science play a bigger part than we might think? (Independent)

Manspreading
Faz alguns anos que vejo a palavra em inglês ser utilizada em textos escritos em português. Apesar de já ter encontrado pelo menos uma adaptação, "manspreading" parece ser, até o presente momento, o termo mais amplamente utilizado.

Wikipedia:
Manspreading, ou man-sitting, é a prática de homens sentarem-se no transporte público com as pernas abertas e, portanto, ocupando mais que um assento.
