Huh? Feminist Student Wins Award for Creating 'Anti-Manspreading' Chair
https://www.dezeen.com/2019/07/24/laila ... re-design/
A feminist college student in the UK hates “manspreading” so much that she created a very uncomfortable looking chair to force them to sit with their legs closely together, according to the Daily Mail.
Laila Laurel, a senior at the University of Brighton majoring in 3D Design and Craft, was tired of men comfortably sitting in the seats they sat in like so:
Laurel grabbed some cheap looking pieces of wood and began to assemble what would become an award-winning chair, aptly named, “A Solution for Manspreading.”
Yes, she actually won an award for this. The Belmond Award is given to those who who exhibit “emerging talent in the design industry” (it calls for imaginative and cleverly presented ideas).
“With my chair set I hoped to draw awareness to the act of sitting for men and women and inspire discussion around this,” Laurel told the Daily Mail. “It [her inspiration] came from my own experiences of men infringing on my space in public.”
The soon to be graduate also created a chair for women, which, dig this, would allow (more like force) them to spread their legs to basically show men that women can do the same thing as they do.
I have not researched this issue deeply, but I think men just have a different hip structure than women, right?
So it is just natural for men to sit with their legs spread apart, and for women to sit with legs more inwardly aligned.
Or am I wrong about that?
