Dear all,
this is hugely important. And the same goes for most of our fixed norm-structures. And there is some work on this, e.g. the norm-critical work of Bill Gaver and Tony Dunne at RCA (Hertzian Tales is a book dealing with this). Or the work of Marcus Jahnke on tool "kilts", and Karin Ehrnberger's norm-creative tools; these should not necessarily be seen as objects as such, but as part of a research dialectic. And it is based on norm-creativity, rather than only a norm-critique, which plays well with a designerly approach.
all the best

Dear Bijan,
no, I didn't read the earlier discussions, but came in at the mention of the 'gender issue', connecting it with Cynthia's comment that keynote speakers for a newly announced conference did not include women.
But to pursue your idea that gender might be one of many factors that could change design, rather, I suggest that people working around obstacles that gendered practices produce might change design, in fact, that is what I argue in my dissertation.
kind regards,
teena
