The conversation about breaking down gender stereotypes in regards to popular culture — take, for instance, the universal symbol for women’s restrooms, which depicts a stick figure wearing a tent dress, whereas the men’s symbol simply shows… a person — is one that’s brought up frequently. But what if it turned out that that stick lady wasn’t wearing a dress at all? (And no, that’s not to say she’s nude.)
Late last month, at the Girls in Tech conference in Arizona, a software developer called Axosoft introduced a new concept in female lavatory signs: Instead of that old, familiar, monochromatic “woman” symbol, the shape was colored in to resemble a person wearing a superher-esque red cape. The clever design made its way to Twitter, and voila! #ItWasNeverADress was born.
