I agree with you all that this is MOST LIKELY because there are more men than women. Could it also not be that it's because people are more commonly right handed, so the women's washroom allows them to easily use their right hand to push open on the plate, where the men's is worn out beside the plate because it's awkward to reach across your body to push directly on the plate?

Let’s Be Kind 4 years ago
Interesting that this pic is causing so much stir. Bobert Robertson makes a good point. Most people are right handed, so the women’s bathroom door protector is in a better place than the men’s bathroom door protector. Second, yes the engineering field is mostly men, but that is simply due to less women applying for engineering degrees. It has nothing to do with gender bias so can we stop getting upset about this? Less women engineering applicants = fewer women graduating as engineers. Simple math. It has nothing to do with ability or some sort of gender bias. Should we tack on the % of men who fail to get their engineering degree? It’s a very difficult degree for anyone to earn. Also, there are fields dominated by women (healthcare, education), so let’s ease up on assumptions that there are biases happening that are preventing women from becoming engineers just because of this picture. We all have the same opportunities if we are determined enough.
Andrew 4 years ago
Your point about gender bias I think is an incorrect analysis of the issue. Are universities not accepting female engineering applicants, No quite the opposite. Infact due to the imbalance I believe female applicants may have a slight advantage over male applicants if there is a surplus of engineering applicants. The gender bias starts long before university applications begin. It is a societal bias. I wouldn't necessarily expect females to ever outnumber male applicants but I believe it should be far higher than it is today.

Depends on the type of bacteria around when it was encased in epoxy, there's two types aerobic and anaerobic, need oxygen and doesn't need oxygen.

Old Ice Pack Sprung A Leak, Had To Get A New One
Sue Sanders 4 years ago
HaHa - I use bags of frozen veggies as an ice pack to ease my doggo's seizures. Works great!
Memere 4 years ago
Mainly because a pack of frozen peas (or corn) is much cheaper than an actual ice pack, especially if you buy a generic brand. Sometimes the bag of peas also conforms better to your body,and can also be refrozen as long as the bag stays intact. I'm cheap enough to put that 'holey' bag into a ziploc freezer bag & keep using it!

Put the old one in a pillow case and close it with a tie-wrap. Wash on low temperature (max 40C°) and add fabric softener. Then put it in the wash dryer. The pillow case will protect the plush. With a very fine comb you can get the plushie almost as new ;-)

This is so hateful and shaming and twisted. Can you imagine being a kid who is overweight, or being a teen patient with body image issues, or a parent trying to adjust to their post-partum body, and being confronted with THIS at the pediatrician's office? The holier-than-thou condescending meanness of it is just so totally unnecessary, especially in a setting that's supposed to feel safe and respectful so people can be open about sensitive topics. McDonald's is perfectly fine if you have it every so often as part of a varied flexible diet and as part of a lifestyle that includes movement and general self-care. And not everyone has the financial freedom or the nutrition education to care for their bodies as they should have the right to do. Food injustice is very real.
April Stephens 4 years ago
Having the fat Ronald McDonald clown is unnecessary. Showing the food intact is sending the message that it has too many preservatives to eat frequently, and that's enough to get their point across. Why heap on the fat clown to imply eating fast food is going to make you fat, too?

I don't think that's patina, that's Damascus steel. Patina is something else altogether. It is the oxidisation on the surface of a metal resulting in a browning or greening or aged look on the surface of the object.
