female cross walks?
For my design class I always show a video we call the "designing the stop sign". The job involves "female" and "Male" intersections and designing for the female demographic, with the male demographic being a subset. (Or vice versa. I've stopped listening to it years ago.) It's hysterical. Watch it.
Anywho, my brother Dave sent me this article about testing new female icon crosswalks. (The image is from the article.) I actually kind of like it. In the back of my mind I always wondered why the icons were male, but it didn't disturb me. I referred to him as the "guy scratching his butt." Notice, she isn't scratching hers. Not lady-like I guess.
Will something like this ever make it to America? It will be quite a while. Maybe in 2020 we can start to talk about it.
