Gender, Speech, and Communication Over Distance

The telephone was invented by a man,
and from the candle stick of the 1920's
to modern times many of the appliances
into which we have to speak into
have been firm and somewhat phallic.

The lead in their pencils makes men
always insist on taking the lead in life,
unaware of how this makes them controlling,
and this include the design of technologies
to assist future communications.

Were women to take a greater hand
in our collective designs for future living
I wonder how much more feminine,
sensual and inclusive the shapes
of their designs for sharing speech
at a distance in future might be.

Would talking into differently designed phones
more naturally suggest everyday cunnilingus?

Connection, Speech, and Gender

The telephone was invented by a man,
and from the candle stick of the 1920's
to modern times so many of the appliances
into which we have to speak into
have been firm and somewhat phallic.

The lead in their pencils makes men
always want take the lead in life,
unaware of how this makes them controlling,
and this include the design of technologies
to assist future communications.

Were women to take a greater hand
in our collective designs for future living
I wonder how much more feminine,
and inclusive the shapes of their designs
for sharing speech at a distance in future might be.

Would talking into phones
that reminded users of a more
female approach to sensuality
help people talk and listen
at greater depth, more readily?
