30 Things That Were Designed Without Women In Mind That Are Due For An Upgrade

Would love to be able to reach all of my kitchen cabinets without having to completely renovate my kitchen.

I'd just want to ban all glass or metal grate catwalks and stairs in contemporary architecture. My job has me visiting conference centers, hotels and flagship office building fairly frequently and there's just so much accidential peeping tom architecture going on...

We need more stalls in public spaces. With elbow room, at least one hook for the bag, seat covers. Correct lighting, so we can see a puddle if needed. Family restrooms with a privacy closet in case it’s Dad taking the daughter, which I think is a need, and I’ve not seen that.

Bathroom stalls without inch wide gaps in the doors would be amazing!

Doors that are easier to open. I'm barely 100 lbs and a lot of doors are just impossible to open for me. It was especially annoying when I worked at the office building with doors that could literally crush me. I understand some of them need to weigh a lot due to fire safety requirements, but a lot of them are just unnecessarily big.

Not cringey “Girl power yihaaa” type of stuff when it comes to Geek stuff.
When I find a cool shirt or what, it’s mostly designed for men because of the character, the color, or the anime/comic. When I look at women shirt, mostly pink or pastel color, girly heroes with cringey women empowering writing, or cute animals.
Like, I can’t appreciate a good DBZ shirts with a fight printed on it, too “male”, I better watch some Barbie or shojo girls related stuff 🥴
I want a shirt of my shape with a f*****g good fight and blood on it, please 🙌.

We really need feminist cities or cities designed to keep women safe. More lights on streets, less alleyways, public transit that has security guards, buildings with warmer rooms or rooms with average temperatures that are comfortable to women, accessible sports stadiums, etc.

Changing tables in assine places. My kids are out of diapers now, but I cringe everytime I walk into most public restrooms and see where they put the changing tables.

Like they should never be next to the hand drier those are too loud to have next to a kids head or in the entryway so everyone has to scoot around you or if their is a line you are basically changing a diaper in the middle of it .. just why, why not open the damn thing and think about the logistics before bolting it to the wall.

All sinks at a reachable distance from the toilet, so I can wash from period blood without having to walk to the sink like a penguin or even have to put on my pants to walk out to the sink and then walk back to the toilet. In my country there are bidets in most homes but in public bathrooms it's still very s****y. It just makes it twice as hard, specially when you use the menstrual cup.

Houses designed with space for the dealing with the amount of laundry a family gets through. In the UK there is very rarely enough space for dealing with laundry. With the energy crisis and cold weather, drying washing all over the indoors is leading to health issues caused by damp. This lack of design accommodation for laundry is almost certainly related to laundry being a traditionally female concern.
