Completely agreed - short urinals have the worst user experience for tall or dare I say average height males. In fact the average height in the US is approximately 5' 10". Claiming all urinals should be short ones seems instead like misplaced aggression or dare I say a bit of Napolean complex.
This being said selecting urinals as a comparison to enterprise mobile UX/UP patterns is a bit off-putting, sexist and simply unprofessional.
- sliverstorm 11y agoI'm not sure I see why it's sexist, aside from the fact that it is tangentially related to gender. Which is not to say it isn't, but I'd like to hear you explain/justify your claim that it is sexist.

- Fomite 11y agoI'll take a swing at this...with the note that something can be 'mildly sexist'. Sexist, without being a four alarm fire. The problem is it feeds pretty heavily into the notion of "Male as Default" and that when you're talking to a tech audience, you're talking exclusively to guys. The thing being discussed, compared to, etc. is supposed to be a common experience, something that you've actually thought about, or at least would go "Yeah, that is weird..." For half the population, urinals are not so much something they interact with. By assuming it's a common experience, you're assuming the reader is male.
