Architectual Design: A Woman's World

When I started to think about a “Women’s World”, many ideas ran through my head. Mansions, housekeepers, chefs that duplicate my grandma’s cooking, unlimited resources, tons of kids, tropical areas, even the White House (haha), where some of the places and things I thought would fulfill wants and needs. Then I though about the time when I really really dislike being a woman, and I’m sure many women can vouch for this, you know “that time of the month.” I thought about how all I want is to be left alone and decided no mansion or tropical area would be able to comfort me in this time of, well, discomfort, like a cozy cabin. I’m sure something of this nature has been done before, but I just couldn’t pass the opportunity to make a perfect place to spend those horrid 3-7 days, and thus the “THREE to SEVEN DAY GET-A-WAY” was constructed.

When you read this I want you remember my creative skills are lacking and my artistic skills are nothing compared to say Van Gough, but I gave it a shot and designed the exterior of the cabin. If you look closely, and use your imagination, the logs, windows, and doors are constructed of tampons, while the roof shingles are pads, and the smokestack is constructed with similar design to that of a tampon box. Also, you may have realized that all four seasons have been added to the background of the blueprint. I’ve decided that on any give day of her cycle, a woman may want to be in the heat of the summer sun, view the rain drops of the spring or the varying colors of autumn, or they might just want to make snow angels in the snow. So I have created the option to choose from the seasonal cycle during this “woman’s” cycle.

The interior, which my artistic skills would never be able to re-create, but hopefully my descriptive skill will create a mental image, includes the wants and needs of a woman during her 3-7 day get-a-way. The cabin consists of just one large room. In this room everything is red, walls, furniture, etc. This is in case of the “accident”, there is no need to worry (gross I know, but we have to worry about it every time). The room consists of one large comfy couch/ bed (so no moving is necessary), a movie theatre sizes screen and entertainment size, proper dim lighting, the smell of grandma’s baked goods, and no other people.

Also, we all know how whenever a woman desperately needs a feminine product, they are nowhere to be found. So I have constructed various tampon and sanitary napkin dispensers throughout the room. In this cabin, a woman is completely secluded from the outside world so there should be no comments such as “it must be her time of the month”, and “oh, ignore her, she is just PMSing.” Instead there at distinct signs on the doors reading, “Beware: menstruating woman”, “Quarantine 3-7 days”, “ Participating Members Only”, and “Open only once a month.”

Next, women there are no other clothing in this room, but sweatpants, sweatshirts, and other comfortable clothing (if any clothing at all, whatever floats your boat). There will be no make-up, mirrors, hairstyling, or grooming of any kind unless a woman desires to be pampered during these 3-7 days of comfort. In this comfort zone there are no responsibilities, just napping and movies. In fact, when she gets back to reality, her responsibilities will already be taken care of, such as no cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. All a woman’s wants and needs will automatically appear with her every thought. Ice cream, chocolate, chips, pasta, french fries, bacon, and other junk food will be at her disposal whenever she wishes. Besides the availability of the craved food and beverage, there will also be a endless supply of Motrin/Midol and bananas for those wretches cramps that are unavoidable.

This appears to be the greatest get-a-way for women in their cycle, but there are some downfalls. What about women who have reached menopause and no longer have the opportunity to visit this cabin of comfort and seclusion? Where is their get-a-way? Another disadvantage is no matter how comfortable a woman tries to be, this cabin could never fulfill a woman’s complete comfort during this time. The other downfall is, no matter how comfortable one may be during their three to seven days, she will eventually return to the real world, a world that cannot truly understand the comfort a woman inevitably needs.
