Who put men in charge?

I am not man bashing. (That will come in perhaps the next post!) ...

House PlanI get so frustrated in the things that I know a man has designed. I just know some guy was sitting around thinking…what could I create that I would never want to use, and would totally suck the life out of women? A Vacuum cleaner! A large heavy bulky thing…that will kill her back…and will take 5 passes to suck up a thread! Then after deciding he could use one, he invents one with a longer hose (go figure!) …that not only picks up dirt but liquids! And it has the suction to suck a dog out of a house.

I know that men are usually the architects and home builders. Only through years of women pleading for more closet room has that upgrade evolved. Women, we need you to design homes! Obviously, men do not understand the concept of storage. Since most men don’t cook, they are designing kitchens? Remember the saying, “Those who can’t …teach.” Well, they don’t have a clue…and they are designing homes!

 

Women, it is time to step up to the plate. You know my motto….If you want a job done right, get a woman to do it! I know most women like to decorate a home, but let’s encourage our young women to take it a step further.

We need more women architects.  More women to design floor plans!Vanity

Women need to know that when we walk into the home of the future…there is a spot for the vacuum cleaner, a place to apply makeup with great lighting, storage for the Christmas tree and decorations, linen closets in every bath, no more washer and dryers in dirty garages, the ability to change the a/c filter without having to climb a ladder, pantries in every kitchen that will actually hold big box store quantities of items, a drawer deep enough in the kitchen for dish towels and pot holders….and not in just high end homes either!

Personally, I would like his and her master bathrooms…but maybe that is pushing it. (But I want that in my next house!)
