"What all this means is that what works for men, as imagined by city hall,
doesn’t necessarily work for everyone else. By treating us in a way that suits
this male ideal, the rest of us are disadvantaged – often in surprising ways."

Via Kristin Moran (Béibhinn Mhodartha) and (among others) Adam Liss, who added:

The first step is recognizing there's a problem.

Sometimes the things that are "so obvious" that "everyone knows" them turn
out to be wrong. And sometimes it matters. A lot.
