These things should just be everywhere, gas stations, grocery stores, you name it, as ubiquitous as a tire pressure checker. They’re so easy and cheap to make its just a triangle piece of fabric. Totally ridiculous that such a simple piece of required safety equipment is so rare.

The Pitt just called out that behavior on its latest season THIS YEAR so I guess we’re still letting women die of heart attacks because these mfs dont wanna lift a boob.

A hard enough impact could tear your jugular, destroy your wind pipe, I had to make an airway for a lady in that situation a lifetime ago and I’m sure shes permanently damaged but, alive at least. Such a shit situation.

Thats like the basic bad argument for accommodating anyone with anything and minorities and disabled people everywhere have been hearing it their whole lives.
It’s an obvious bad faith argument that we can pick out cause we’ve heard it so many times. It wasn’t “just an objection” it’s an insult, and I was being nice by telling him that at first instead of being offended, but then he doubled down on it and now the whole platform is offended.

They did though. And smart phones are the same way. Made for big hands.
Jars. Phones. Power tools. The weight of a bag of mulch. All of these things are as large as they can get away with and we’ve been letting them get away with too large.

I have to cut my bushes manually with old fashioned scissor style hedge trimmers dude. It takes weeks to get through it. But operating one of the powered ones would be unsafe.

It’s like how making things accessible for disabled people didn’t ruin any building architecture or any fun experience for anyone else, it just allowed more people to engage in spaces that were previously limited.
Being more inclusive doesn’t exclude the people who were already included.

Woman are totally justified in complaining about this reality even if the men don’t do it on purpose.
I think that car safety tests may be starting to include women sized mannequins, so progress.
The thing that really bothers me is researchers purposely excluding women in medical studies cause it’s inconvenient to include that data. That shit is so unethical.

The problem is that “average person” is a man, and the average woman is too far away from their measurement of “average person”
I’ll look harder, I really only went to my local hardware store and then their website and gave up. I just figured if they existed they’d be carried at fkn Lowes.
