„Stadtplaner waren lange autofahrende Männer der Mittelschicht, und so schauen unsere Städte auch aus“, sagt die Stadtplanerin Eva Kail. Oft kennen Männer die Lebensrealitäten von Frauen nicht, was dazu führt, dass Stadtplaner die Bedürfnisse von Frauen "vergessen".
Beleuchtete Parks, breitere Gehsteige, mehr Toiletten: Was sich ändert, wenn Frauen Städte planen
Jahrzehntelang orientierte sich die Stadtplanung an männlichen Lebensrealitäten – die Bedürfnisse von Frauen wurden oft übersehen.

“ZEIT: Was sagt das über die TU aus, dass Sie einen ganzen Stab an Diskriminierungsbeauftragten benötigen? Eigentlich sollte die Universität doch ein Ort sein, wo Herabsetzungen tabu sind und man zivil miteinander umgeht.” Diese Frage ist - wie das ganze Interview - so dermaßen polemisch

But it's also weird they ask people if No Kings was violent, like it was a matter of opinion rather than fact that it wasn't. It's true some people think the earth is flat; it's not true that it might be flat as a result of those opinions.
