Why we have always misunderstood the monogram so far

From because of dress ...

Everyone knows the toilet sign for the women's toilet - but maybe you have always seen it wrong, because there is more to it than we think.

The women's symbol on the women's toilet is known to everyone. A kind of stick figure with a dress on. We thought so far. But apparently we were completely wrong with our assumption ...

Have you ever thought that the alleged dress is really a Superman cape?

When it comes to tech company Axosoft, we should see the symbol exactly like that. At the Girls in Tech Conference in Arizona, the company presented the loo girl as a superheroine. Also under the hashtag #ItWasNeverADress are various tweeds on the subject. The statement of the company: It was never a dress (in German: It was never a dress). What is behind it? Axosoft wants to introduce women to technical careers and encourage them to take this professional step into a more male-dominated world of work.

"We have seen this lady completely wrong so far, " says Tania Katan in an Axosoft video. The company wants to use its campaign to ensure that women are perceived differently in the world of work.

So here with the superhero cape - after all, we can achieve anything if we just want it!
