SMART DIPLOMACY: Did Angela Merkel ‘ma’amsplain’ to a ‘manspreading’ Obama?

There’s a photo going around social media of German Chancellor Angela Merkel talking to President Obama. Merkel, arms outstretched, appears to be angry, or at the very least annoyed, about something. Obama, meanwhile, is sitting on a bench, his arms stretched out to his sides along the back of the seat. From what can be seen in the picture, it appears he is “manspreading” — the seating stance of men where they spread their legs.

Manspreading for me, but not for thee.
