See, this is why I wish we had a Like button. Making a post like this feels like too much work but you deserve a shoutout for that.
Maybe step back and ask yourself, “Why did I have to make this about gender?”
People carry backpacks. People carry shoulder bags. People who carry large bags without regard to their surroundings are shitbags. See, no need to bring gender into it at all.
Lots of companies are doing this, especially consulting companies where employees are frequently located at client sites or other offsite spots. They lease space in a building, with x number of desks / cubicles / offices, and when you need to work there, you go there that day and check in using a computerized system or whatever. This lets them reduce wasted space.
It’s a good concept but never well implemented: at my company, you can’t get an assigned space in the building even if you are officially assigned to work there every day. You can’t expect to be able to use the same spot 2 days in a row, so you can’t leave anything. If you’re on a team, there’s no guarantee you’ll be seated anywhere near your teammates. And there is usually no secure storage. So, yeah, you have to lug everything every day.
At one point, about 15+ years back, you could put in a request for a “hotelling locker” where you could leave things for extended periods of time. They discouraged people from leaving laptops in those, however.
That’s just ridiculous to me.
You have to keep your eye on what’s truly important…
…freeing up money for the CEO’s bonuses.
My brother always took his chute on the plane. You think any jumper is going to trust it to the baggage handlers?
My wife and her friend hiked a big chunk of it nearly 50 years ago. My understanding is that today it is nearly as crowded as a subway. Though I think there is still room to wear your backpack.
But the real question is:
Is there wi-fi so you can use your laptop? 
Probably. But there are also crazies with knives out there.
