Hello Rosan,

As a side comment: the words that you use there and the way in which you
formulate things -as possible contradictions- would suggest that you take
a look at some feminist approaches. They question, if not deny this
division, and I think that there are good reasons to consider the point
seriously when one wants to reflect on the engagement in doing that is
part of the act of designing (I am not saying anything here about design
theory, as I am not a feminist expert at all).

Best regards,

Jean
