Guys: the blame for lack of cabin/reclining sear related comfort is the airlines. Not your fellow passengers. Blaming them is like blaming the steerage passengers on the Titanichttps://www.tmz.com/2020/02/14/delta-ceo-says-passengers-should-ask-permission-to-recline-seat/ …

If the seat reclines, passengers have every right to recline it. Those discomfitted have a right to ask them not to but real question is airlines pushing shrinking legroom and comfort and whether we want legal limits on that.

More broadly, I wish that we ever heard from short people and others who are put into pain (airlines) or danger (cars) from seats that are designed for men 5'10" and up. This whole debate is mostly about their comfort. Nothing about others. Better regulations could help all.

For example: I love my
@miniusa. But seatbelts do not adequately adjust for someone my height (5'3") or shorter. A LOT of people. Belt literally cuts across my neck Common in many makes of cars. Do you hear about that like you hear about men made uncomfortable on planes? Nope.12 réponses 12 Retweets 103 j'aimeAfficher cette discussion -
Here's a great
#99pi podcast on how world is designed for the average man. A lot of what we're seeing re debate w/r/t plane seats is airlines pushing into the design bubble that typically protects the average man. How about holistic design/regulations?https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/on-average/ …5 réponses 15 Retweets 60 j'aimeAfficher cette discussion -
I don't typically recline except at night and will always put my seat up if asked but that said, a lot of this is just men who are used to having the physical world arrayed around their needs/manspreading/subway-backpacking getting a taste of what it's like to be short.

And while I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable, men being uncomfortable for 2-5 hrs on occasion is like not one of the great social injustices of our time and is seriously indicative of their perpetual privilege when they act is if it is.

I mean, the average height for men is 5’10”, which puts a 6’4” person almost as far away as a 5’3” person, it’s not all advantages for tall people. Lot of stuff isn’t designed for us outside of just airline seats.

Except you’re forgetting the average height of women. Which happens to be 5’3” globally.

Oh I’m not denying that stuff isn’t designed around men, just pointing out that we’re both at the same remove. I’d prefer a wider range of comfort in design as well

Sure just saying the global overall average is more like 5’6” and yet we live in a 5’10” (and in most instances up) designed world.
