Should Public Restrooms Become Gender Neutral?

[Faolinn]

I'm really not sure.

[Desperate Measures]

One problem, male/female perverts.

Urinals are theft. Impeach perverts.

Seriously, perverts will be no less or more of a problem if we change a sign on a bathroom door. Maybe we should segregate subway cars, buses, park benches, etc. into male/female because perverts!

[Seshephe]

Nah. Women's restrooms are nasty.

Here is something I wonder: Women tell me that they squat over a toilet rather than sit on it because they don't trust that the toilet seat is clean. They then proceed to piss all over it.

Is the irony lost on them?

Phahahaha...
but seriously no. The restrooms at my school (are those considered as fitting the adopted definition of "public"?) are nasty enough.

Funny how the restrooms at my School were gender neutral and perfectly clean most of the time...
Though I'd be lying if I said they weren't used for sex every now and then... but really so what?

mine too. Except the ceiling, which had mounds of wet tissue paper that'd dried stuck to it.

Dear Gods, this was the state of the men's room at my high school for the longest time.

Eeeewww.... grose

Not all use of offensive language is hate speech. Context matters- a word only has whatever connotation people gives it.

You think comedians are politically correct? If not, then why aren't they derided as hatemongers? Because context matters.

Whether or not someone is joking doesn't rule out them also being an asshole.

Hell, it doesn't even guarantee that what they said is funny.

[Zottistan]

I don't see why not.

Urinals are grose. Just get rid of them I say.
Honestly though I don't really care if bathrooms are unisex or not. I just find it funny how upset people can get over something so massively trivial. In general I think that unisex bathrooms tend to be nicer...

I support getting rid of urinals.

Ofcourse. But that just makes them a bad comedian. Not a racist or a sexist or whatever, which is usually what offended people claim.

I support the use of however trannies have been doing all this time. It appears to be working, or there would be a lot of people standing around with their legs crossed and dancing having to use the bathroom all over the world. This is a non-issue.

The fact is, nobody likes to use public restrooms. Nobody.

What I think they should do is rather than separate it by gender (or anything of that nature), separate them by political party affiliation. Conservatives can have the normal male/female rooms, and the liberal can have female, male, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual (and everything else on that long acronym). Then establishments that want to pay for extrabathrooms to facilitate a certain clientel can build them at their own expense.

[Ifreann]

The move was described as "political correctness gone barmy" by opponents

All I needed to hear. *stamp of approval*

[Vitaphone Racing]

Why can't people just tolerate transexuals? T'would be so much easier on all of us.

Do you not realize how offensive that word is?

Anyway I'm on my phone so I can't respond easily, but this doesn't take much.

So no one responded to my challenger earlier...

What reason is there for gender-neutral restrooms? What shortcomings do segregated ones present that could be fixed by throwing everyone in one room?

Why must life be so hard?

most people are very insecure...

"BECAUSE I DON'T GET IT AND I'M SCARED!" I think.

My only problem is that they don't make the locks on doors stronger and they don't do a good job of making sure every possible area is sufficiently closed.That and they don't seem to clean them properly.

Lets say that one boy and three girls want to go to the bathroom at the same time. There are two boys bathrooms and two girls bathrooms. Do the math.

Look seriously, if someone is determined to actually brake through a bathroom door I don't think that a sign with a skirt is going to stop them...
just saying...

I'm talking more about bathroom stalls.
