I can't believe I watched a video that showed a male-presenting person mopping the floor and thought "Oh cool, this mop must have been designed for people who are a little bit taller and tend to rely more on their upper body strength to accomplish everyday tasks, which means this mop will be longer than average and intended to be pushed hard into the floor!" instead of "This company wants to sell shitty short mops to blokes as well, I am a sucker, I am born every minute, there will be a thousand more like me today"

I will put up with any amount of fragile-masculinity marketing gimmicks in exchange for a mop that's just a little bit longer and a little bit stronger. Bring on the camouflage wrap and the tactical torch holder, whatever, so long as you stick another three or four inches on the length I'll lean into the cringe and buy the fucker.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I smell business opportunity for a universal handle extender. I bet there would be a big market for such a thing among those with your unfortunate condition (speaking as someone who's mopped a lot of floors and never once thought "why is this handle so short?").
