@tedtoks: Ever wondered why the line for the men’s room is often shorter than the women’s? Turns out, it’s because of the way they’re designed. In his TED Talk, architect John Cary shares why fewer female architects and designers have led to design issues that don’t align with the needs of the people these environments actually serve. Visit the 🔗 in our ☣️ to hear more about the diversity in design problem as well as Cary’s solution for creating more dignified architecture for all. #design #architecture #community #TEDTalk
WOMEN HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS. WHY ARE WE ONLY LISTENING WHEN A MAN SAYS IT.

I am a female designed professional and I am still limited by what my mostly male clients want me to design. They want me to meet current codes and nothing beyond.

and the stall doors swing INWARD so you have to straddle the toilet. dropping skirts, clothes in the toilet and phones ( because we never get pockets big enough, if any) in order to open the door!!!

99% of the time you have to go past the men’s bathroom to get to the women’s.

Also the men's restroom is always the closest restroom when walking down a hall. Always.

My mom was a council member for North Charleston,SC. When they designed the coliseum she refused to sign off on it until they put it 2 women’s restrooms for every male one. It’s the only place I’ve ever been where there’s not a line for women to go to the restroom. She understood the assignment.

I saw a post by a woman complaining about a man manspreading into her leg room on a plane. Men were all defensive in her comments saying “we’re taller” “our pelvises are wider” and “we have junk in our pants we have to squash to fit in seats”. I commented that woman fly with our periods and pregnant and we don’t spread into other passengers leg space. I’m so tired of selfish men.

I've been saying this my WHOLE LIFE. men's bathrooms have the same number of stalls PLUS urinals. women go in with children, have periods, need more time

Don’t get me started on the lack of storage in home design. Or the ridiculous pedestal sink.

So no solution? No proof that there’s something actually wrong with the design?
