See also running shoes, most manufacturers 'shrink it and pink it' rather than make things designed for the proportions of women. Bikes as well

This was on radio four yesterday afternoon, right after an interview with one of the SNP MSps who defied the party whip to vote against the gender reform act because he believed men and women couldn't change sex and women's rights needed protection. Genius programming from producer, perfectly illustrating his argument.

Indeed.

Have you read Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Pérez? It is packed full of these kinds of things. From crash test dummies to AI to medicine.

Absolutely rage inducing but well worth a read.

I think this book raised my blood pressure significantly! But definitely worth a read. The (lack of) research including women and the impact of that is staggering.
