Manslamming
Manslamming, or man-slamming, refers to the hypothesis that if a woman walking in a crowded area does not move out of the way of a man who is walking towards her, he will collide with her.[1] Beth Breslaw, a New York labor organizer, found anecdotally that more men collided with her than women.[2] Breslaw tested her hypothesis by attempting to intentionally bump into people.[3]
A reporter for National Review tried to replicate the anecdotal experiment and found that three times as many women as men refused to yield to her.[4]
The concept of manslamming has been criticized as "a hypothesis that will make a good headline" which was tested using unsound research methods.[5]
