Recently, Elina and I bought cycling helmets. You may think that they would just be one design for everyone. After all, men and women have basically the same head. Sure, men have larger heads, on average, but that isn’t a reason to gender them: just make them in a variety of sizes.
But that isn’t how it works. Men, who presumably spend more money on such gear, get a range of sizes. And features. Mine, for example, has MIPS. This is the latest safety standard to protect my head in the event of a crash.
Sounds good.
Elina on the other hand, bought a woman’s helmet. Here is what hers has:
Yep, it has a little hole where you can put your hair through. It’s not even special. I can do that with my helmet.
