Hi All,
I am wondering why such a fuss to keep men in the pictures for DIY furniture.
This seems like obsolete thinking.
Fact 1: Women make most of the purchase decisions when it comes to furniture.
Fact 2: Women can build furniture in about the same time as men.
Fact 3: Men and women use DIY instructions differently. Men will tend to read
the words more and women will prefer to use the illustrations. Perhaps all of
the illustrations should be women as they are the ones looking at them.
Check out this article on the web for some insights:

Given all these facts, why are there people arguing to have only men in the
pictures when perhaps a more gender balanced approach would be natural?
That would make more sense to me.
Cheers ... Gerard
