I still remember the first time I encountered a hiking backpack designed for women, not having to chose between kids or men's. It was incredible. "Ah, so that's why backpack aren't just a source of pain."

I get how mass production works, but surely we can have more options that fit more bodies rather than a zillion variations on basic parkas almost all targeting average men plus a few for average women? I keep thinking this is driven more by culture than economics.

(If people think surely business people would not miss money making opportunities because of cultural biases and preferences? Nope the history of markets and production is full of many examples of exactly that—sometimes, someone finally moves and only then everyone else goes ah!)

SAME! I hated biking till I encountered a bike that was actually designed for women—not a smaller men's bike. I was old enough to be armed with just the right credit card, purchased it on the spot even though it was expensive. I *loved* biking since.https://twitter.com/LilaHickey/status/1462457196092870663 …

Macy's website was (maybe still is) having early Black Friday deals on coats, saw lots of petite options among them!

I just buy an LL Bean parka. I live in New Jersey but I get cold easily, so I buy the warmest one they sell—the Rugged Ridge parka. It comes in petite so it’s less ridiculous. Try them. They get petite outerwear for women.

LL Bean makes fantastic parkas and puffers for petite women but unless you go to the big store in Freeport all the petites clothes are only online.

@LLBean petite assumes that smaller women have extra narrow shoulders which is totally not the case
