When Women Aren't on the Design Team: An Open Letter to the Shops at Putterham

things that look like tampons

To Whom It May Concern:

The other day I went to the bank and as I was walking to my car, I noticed the weirdest thing. There's a scalloped, white-painted post with a rounded top at the end of the walkway.

I just wonder if any females took a look at the design of this section before it was implemented? Because it doesn't seem so. Perhaps it might be better to paint the post a different shade other than white. Just a suggestion.

I have attached a picture of what I'm talking about and a link to what it evokes.

While it is amusing, it's a bit odd, too. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been struck by this idea.

Sincerely,

Bridget Eileen
