Sexism in everyday products design
Post Body

Hello. I am an industrial design student in my second year. I am currently thinking about my research thesis topic for my next and final year. I am interested in sexism in the design of products. I was thinking about writing the essay and focusing on women's perspective since I thought we all have been disappointed in the past by products both women and men. However I am starting to change my mind again since my professors and fellow students have been very explicit on why sexism is a no no and I have to include all sexes and genders because the essay is going to be mostly judged by men (professors or potential employers). I know for a fact that depending on the field the research on women can be disappointing to non existing and I am not afraid to piss men neither as professors or employees for that matter (before I picked industrial design I was even discouraged by a professor because the industry asks for men and mistreats women. And I was very clear about not caring about the industry and only caring about what I want to study just for the sake of studying). Do you have any interesting ideas when it comes to products, research done or books relative to this specific matter if pick it as a thesis topic?

YES. I was really excited when I learned about bidet add-ons but then immediately disappointed when I realized most of them just spray poo water toward your urethra.

Great comment. I’ve never considered this but it makes so much more sense to give birth while squatting/vertical. Fascinating (and disturbing) history bit about Louis XIV in that article too…

Does it move your feet further away from the pedals since you’re sitting higher?
