Nicholia is opposed to unisex bathrooms because he does not believe they are more efficient?


NIcholia argues that we really need 4 or 5 kinds of bathrooms. I can locate the posts if you wish to read them.

He says we need male, female, transgender (also segregated in male and female) and a unisex bathroom. Of course, after, he goes on to say that he doesn't want unisex crowds because A) he sees all women as his mom, and B) he doesn't want anyone looking at his junk while he pees.

I would like to know how you know this.

Well, simply, how is it sexism? It is not, because men are separated from women, so both cant cause harm to each other.

Tell me, where do most attacks happen? In places that are relatively not being used at the time of the attack, right? It is very rare for attacks to occur in heavily trafficked areas, and single unisex restrooms are more likely to be heavily trafficked that separate restrooms. The same holds for two separate restrooms that are unisex (ie restrooms that have simply had their signs changed to unisex). They are more likely to be heavily trafficked because people tend to even out lines (they go to the restroom that is not as heavily used).

Not all places have family restrooms.

But, in heavily trafficked places, more people are there that could join in fights, and start them.

Again though, until a certain point, more people tends to mean fewer attacks. People tend not to do their crimes where it can be easily witnessed.

That is far from the truth. I said AT MAXIMUM, it should FOUR. But, I suggest three.

So where the public restrooms. The roman restroom was apparently a place to socialize and were unisex.

Hey, I don't want anyone looking at me while I pee, either, regardless of gender. All I want in a public bathroom is cleanliness, space, and separate stalls.

Which would be more noticeable in a unisex bathroom with more traffic.

Yup. Personally, I wouldn't say that segregated restrooms cause sexism. It can, however, be argued that they reinforce it.

I have no idea if that's universal. It's just the only number I had.

In any case, whether it's 1 minute or 3 minutes or 40 minutes, it still doesn't matter. Unisex bathrooms are more efficient from a usage standpoint than gender segregated bathrooms because there will be no one waiting in line to use the restroom while restrooms sit unused.


Ah, I think I see how this discussion came about now. It wasn't really clear when I read through before.
Nicholia is opposed to unisex bathrooms because he does not believe they are more efficient?

No, near as I can tell, he's opposed to unisex restrooms because all women are his mom, and he doesn't want his mom in the restroom with him...
