Los Angeles Unveils ‘Bus Stop’ To Advance ‘Gender Equity’, Immediately Gets Mocked - dailycaller.com/.../

"we want gender equity! Let's make everything for women!" 😂

Positive! Why is this being mocked? It's empowering women!

Negative. This is just furthering the divide between men and women.

Having seen this 'Bus Stop' it is a design failure, as one of its supposed main benefits is to provide shade during the day, which given its tiny square footage will shade less than one person, the same for the lighting it is supposed to provide is a minuscule LED powered by a tiny solar panel at a price tag of $10,000 a piece, when it should cost no more $800 a piece - with off the shelf components I could build the same for less than $300 and if I mass produced them less than $200, Obviously the women who designed this got taken for a ride.

What is the purpose behind the bus? Is the bus free? Who is paying for it? Is there a reason a normal bus is no good?

[SolitarySolace]

From what I read it's just the spot you wait for the bus at. And tax payers in LA I Guess are paying for it.

Still don't get it lol.

So is a man standing under that tiny shelter suppose to move when a girl comes along or do we just hug him?

[SolitarySolace]

He could probably use the hug

[gorydetails]

I don't understand. It looks like it provides poor rain shelter, shade only part of the day and only for 1 person.

[SolitarySolace]

It was designed by women. That should explain everything.

[inhua]

at least feminists are trying to contribute to society

[richardcory]

They are trying to get away with buidling a cheap, ineffective shelter by calling it something politically correct. I hope they aren't fooling anyone

[LiamJHayden]

Looks like yet another way for the politically-connected to funnel money to themselves and their friends.

I see a problem of women getting harassed and this can help that. Which is the point of govt.

California is so stupid it hurts my brain.

[Wise4myage]

What a freaking joke.

[Exterminatore]
