Return to the map Interior Design

South Africa, Johannesburg, Female, 24 and under

I feel that men are stereotyped against and are seen as “gay” if they are good at designing. As a female I vouch more for the success of a male student in interior design so that they can break the bounds of these stereotypes. Gender is a man made concept used to box individuals and class them into a box for control which may not speak for them fully.
