10. All they had to do was mount the shoulder harness about 6 inches lower

It would go over the shoulder of the 6'4" manly man but it would fit the 5'4" average woman, as well. Designers just don't consider ergonomics, especially when they concern women.

My pet peeve is with kitchens. A 30-32" counter height would be ideal for me. But NO, they have to be 36" so that 6' tall man who pushes all the cooking off on his wife could theoretically use them comfortably.

Everything we use is designed for that 6' man, from office furniture to step ladders to cars and nobody wants to think about how uncomfortable and downright dangerous that is for women. If they want to design something for women, they take a men's item, produce it in pink, and charge more for it.
