It's worth making clear that "convenience" in this case is really more like "not expending relatively large amounts of time, energy, and money".

Characterizing that as "convenience" seems demeaning to me, unless we also consider it a convenience that I don't need to fetch my water from a well or light a fire to take a warm bath.




Convenience was the closest word I could find to express it at the time. Maybe I should have said accessible instead. I did not want to imply a positive or negative connotation to it. I thought it useful to expand the list of criteria to add that women will also value the level of accessibility.
