Amazing discussion on the unintended consequences of positioning men as the default within the world of design

This episode is so important. Most of our world has been designed with men and cishet male bodies as the default, at best making life for women more uncomfortable (office air conditioning), and at worst killing them (misdiagnosis of heart attacks, car seat belts).

@haiko Your recommendation reminded me of this fun episodes from Planet Money’s The Indicator about a group of economists who complained about the office temperature and how it affects women vs men. One of my faves! “The Battle For The Office Thermostat": https://podyssey.fm/episode/id3680774

Si escuchas este episodio te indignaras al descubrir que la mayoria de las cosas que se diseñan desde coches hasta la estrategia de limpieza invernal en las calles, están pensadas desde el punto de vista de los hombres.

Did you know that car manufacturers do not test whether the driver seat is safe for women since they don’t use women crash test dummies for that scenario since it’s “too expensive”? This makes me angry.

@aliceko I've read her book too. It is chock a block full of unbelievable, enraging stats, but very important to know about.

One of my favorite episodes of the series. A great look into the subject, and it makes you wonder: How many stereotypes and struggles exist just because the world isn't designed with half the population in mind?

What happens when design and research are catered to cisgender men, whom are often assumed to be the default? When research data is segregated by gender, and no effort is made to include women because of real and existing complex “problems” such as the menstrual cycle or whatnot, we risk lives and i...Show More

Very interesting and dare I say shocking that testing data is still biased. One thought that stuck with me was the comment on how many medical solutions may have been abandoned because they did not pass testing for men.
