The Patriarchy Is Insidious That Way

Strange things I have learned today: there is no configuration of "carbon-based" vs. "silicon-based" as add-ons to the standard gendered restroom signs that does not subtly recapitulate problematic tropes about the nature of men vs. women.

(not to mention the equally subtle one about triangles vs. circles, which my daughters have recently brought to my attention due to Simone's repeated desire to "go to the triangle room.")
