Re:Women buy more cars, so why are the designs so macho? by angmarsbane on Friday January 12, 2024 @04:45PM (#38974565)
The makeup mirror in my Prius C doesn’t have a light and every time I flip it open at night and can’t check if my mascara has smeared I do think “Damnit this car was designed by a man.” I had a similar thought this morning when I realized there wasn’t an outlet in the bathroom at the place I’m staying. I ended up blowing my hair dry plugged into a hallway outlet.

Of course the “this was designed by a man” is a short cut to express that there are feature shortfalls bc the designer could not conceive the need for these features…likely bc they don’t need or use those features themselves.

The Prius C didn't have a rear view camera when almost every other car did, right before it became mandatory.

That's a significant part of why I never bought one.
