A Courthouse with a Glass Staircase

Jessss, it's pretty bad for a judge to make that kind of blanket statement anyways. It makes me wonder about her impartiality if she feels so strongly biased against men.

Would her comment be acceptable if she said, "This was probably designed by a woman. They just don't understand architecture..."?

Would a female architect have designed the stairs the same way? I think so. Maybe one did. The judge's sexist speculation is just speculation.

Lol interesting architectural design but even I would worry about someone looking up. Can't always really expect people to be mature about things such as this but let's hope that's really the case.

Toss a long carpet on it? Bunch of big plants underneath it?

@Egbert, if you look carefully at the article, the judge never specifies concerns about a specific gender being able to see up skirts. She only states that men probably didn't consider this problem when designing the stairs. You projected that particular sexist generalisation onto the story yourself. And before anyone states it's obvious the judge is implying that women who walk up these stairs have to be concerned about men rather than women, you should know that the idea that women are perfectly comfortable being exposed in the presence of other women is a myth. Personally I would be uncomfortable knowing anyone, man or woman could see up my skirt, and not because I assume they'll like what they see. It's just plain embarrassing.

Because, of course, all blokes do that. Got to love sexist generalities. But its ok since its only men who are being stereotyped...
