#feministtechnologydesign

Last week’s lecture on feminist technology design and this week’s redesign project really shed a lot of lights on my knowledge of equipments designed for women to defend themselves. I used to think that the only technology design for women was the pepper spray and recently was the anti date-rape nail polish. It is good to know that there are more ways for women to defend themselves. However, with the creation of these feminist technology designs, I wonder why the manufactures are only targeting women? So far I have not been informed of equipments designed for men and other gender identities. Shouldn’t these safety devices also be promoted to everyone so we all can feel safe? I personally think that there should be more gender-neutral technology designs so that everyone can secure more control over their well-being and safety.
