After reading that, due to a majority of their reasoning this should be titled "Seven ways the world is not designed for smaller people". I am not a big dude myself, but more than half the points were about clothing/uniforms/protective gear not fitting correctly. Am I strawmanning this?
edit: I can already see flaw in my thinking as I sit here. It is unfair that these industries aren't prepared to support women, who are on average smaller, where they are happy to support the average male.
- jvagner 8y agoI don't get the point. There were two mediums, she decided she wanted a medium AFTER saying she wanted a large. The options were available, but the change couldn't be accommodate in the timeframe. The second paragraph doesn't really seem to follow from the first. "There are two medium-sized suits on the International Space Station, but only one had been properly configured for a spacewalk, and getting the spare up to standard would have taken hours. Ms Criado Perez says it's still telling that the sizes available were medium, large, and extra-large only."
