30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade

ADVERTISEMENT

Depending on which part of the demographic you happen to be, you perhaps haven’t noticed that the vast majority of things are either designed with you in mind or for an entirely different kind of human. We’re talking, of course, about gendered design.

Someone asked “What female-centric design do you want to see in architecture and design?” and women shared their best ideas. From simple things like car headrests to literally medical procedures, women often get the short end of the stick. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to share your thoughts below.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade You should not be able to look up through any floor or stair surface to look up anyone's clothing in any public environment where some people may be wearing dresses/skirts instead of trousers. Any design that's a built-in creep magnet to look up people's clothes annoys me greatly.

I can't think of a single argument for glass ceilings/floors. As for stairs with no backs, those things are dangerous and should be banned anyway.

Depending on who you are, it can be pretty hard to actually notice unless you have experienced it or have been told to look for it. Take the average gendered public bathroom. The male section will inevitably have a whole row or two of urinals, which makes it have significantly more capacity.

So while the female and male bathrooms might be of the same square footage, the male version can accommodate significantly more people doing their business. This is a classic case of “equal space” not actually being equal.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade Feminine products should be provided for free
in public restrooms anywhere that toilet paper is provided. Dispensers should be a normal part of restroom design, like toilet paper holders.

I almost always have a tampon on me, but of course, the one time I don’t, I start my period days early while at a museum with no re-entry. Their restroom surprisingly had a tampon machine that required quarters; and I surprisingly actually had a quarter on me. I was like, “wow this is actually my lucky day”. Then guess what? The tampon machine ate my quarter and gave me nothing. Happily the museum staff provided me with a tampon when I told them what happened, but that was after having to leave the resteoom with toilet paper shoved in my pants.

So ever since then, I’m wondering why feminine products aren’t available and stocked like toilet paper in restrooms. It’s a basic hygiene issue and most women will only use the free stuff in an emergency anyway.

Even worse, oftentimes items specifically intended for women end up being designed by men. These fall into two categories, items where the designer simply assumes a woman’s body is basically identical to a man's or the designer simply follows trends and fads. In both cases, the product ends up being less functional than it should be.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade Can I call the development of medical solutions "designing"? (I'm gonna.)

I want the design of medical solutions (anything from medicine to braces to even first aid courses or whatever) to be more inclusive for women. Many drugs are initially not tested on women, which can lead to them not discovering positive effects that the meds have on women but not men. The symptoms for heart attacks are different for women, so more women don't get the proper help for a heart attack. It's such a dark side of inequality.

The only stage d***s are not tested on women is in a first-in-human study, which usually involves a handfull of patients and is a one time thing for each d**g. Any d**g that pass the clinical trials for approval must have been tested in thousands of patients and have a balance of male and female (unless the disease is sex-specific). This hasn't been true for decades. Source : me, working in clinical trials since 2007.

In general, this issue can seem baffling at times. After all, most of us would assume that people who are somewhat different from us have different needs, expectations, and assumptions. This is perhaps why it’s always good to get a second (or even third) opinion whenever you can, you might just learn something new.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade This might seem shallow, I don't know, but I would really love cute shoes for women with big feet. They seriously don't exist. If they do, I've not been able to find them.

I swear shoe manufacturers think all women have small, slender, dainty little feet. I know I am not the only chick with long, wide feet.

I wear a men's size 11 wide width sneaker. Yeah......my feet are huge. So, that roughly translates to a women's size 13. Good luck finding a cute shoe or stylish dress boots in that size. I even started looking at shoes for drag queens -- which I can usually find the size I need but unfortunately not the style I want.

It's SO hard to find real work and safety clothes for women. There are "work boots" that are just cheap fashion shoes made to look like work boots. There are "cargo pants" with decorative pockets and fake hammer loops. But real steel-toed non-slip boots? Real carpenters' pants? Very hard to find, and very expensive.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade Better head rests in cars. Idk how many times I’ve sat down and my head can’t sit straight. The head rest is angled forward and down, so my height doesn’t work (5’4”) then add in a pony tail and I can’t actually use the seat.. I have to use the steering wheel (that I’m already so close to) to pull myself away from the seat and the floor to push my butt backwards. The entire time. I now I have a van, sooooo much better. I’ve passed on buying vehicles that had horrible head rests and my husband got confused because it was comfortable for him. He liked the car. I said nope. I can’t drive that safely.

The height of the headrest is an issue in a lot of cases (my tiny misses barely reaches it), but I feel that more information about the proper use of a headrest is needed for everyone: The top of the headrest must come up to at least the top of your ears—preferably to the top of your head—and be within two to four inches of the back of your head. Angled head rests should have the thickest part positioned at the top of your ears. If you wear a ponytail or bun at the back of the head you should remove it when driving, as it would increase your chances of neck injury during an impact. A cushion or booster should be used if required.

30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade Reasonable business bags. I have to carry 1-2 laptops and the backpack/ trolly is my office. Most business backpacks, bags and trolleys are designed for men. The backpack's straps are too wide for my shoulders and give me back pain. The Trolley is usually quite big and weirdly constructed, so I can't carry it well when necessary. It's for wider shoulders and more muscled arms and no hips, so it will bump against my hips and legs all the time when I use the handle or shoulder strap. That's not fun with 5-8kg.

Also, white blouses. Don't make them see through, thankyouverymuch.

No, this is an actual documented thing. So way back when, when men were figuring out "ideal office temperature", they used metabolism (as well as other stuff) to figure out how much heat the body makes, and therefore what's comfortable. Women have smaller bodies and slower metabolisms, and so get cold more easily. Mileage may very as ppl have preferences, but this is a thing.

Houses designed with space for the dealing with the amount of laundry a family gets through. In the UK there is very rarely enough space for dealing with laundry. With the energy crisis and cold weather, drying washing all over the indoors is leading to health issues caused by damp. This lack of design accommodation for laundry is almost certainly related to laundry being a traditionally female concern.

I agree. I really miss having a laundry/utility room. You shouldn't have to be rich in the UK just to be able to have a laundry/utility room.

Although some of these are legitimate issues (hello, can I get a seatbelt that doesn't constantly try and choke me?) most of these aren't female-specific but size-specific. There's no way to make everything ergonomic for everyone, there will always be outliers.

I would add conference room chairs and office furniture, at least at my office. It's all white. I don't know a lot of women who would choose that.

Some of them were important issues but others were just b!tching about how everything didn’t go exactly their way.
