The world is designed for men

This article is taken from a book due out next month - it highlights how much in the world is designed with men but not women in mind, and that can have sometimes fatal consequences

I read this earlier - very interesting stuff. I always struggle with seatbelts going over my boobs and cutting across my neck, even when you can adjust them slightly lower you can get it comfortable if you have boobs.

I also have pain in my little finger from using my iPhone 8, as it’s so big I have to support it on my little finger. Going to try and swap back to the 6 sized one. When I saw the quote about phones not getting any bigger as they’re the size of a man’s hand now, that says it all!

It is very interesting. There's also a thread in Feminism if you are interested.
