Is that like a single toilet bathroom, or just several toilets all open to any gender? I mean... I don't know, surely there is a reason that men's and woman's bathrooms have been kept separate for ages, right? Safety? Comfort? Throwing them all together for "equality" seems dangerous and like a way to breed discomfort. I think I'd feel like I were trespassing if I went into that place and there were women inside.

  • They have obviously been separated because of r[i]a[/i]pe culture and every man is out to r[i]a[/i]pe someone. /feminism

  • And so is the discomfort that comes from sharing a bathroom with a black man. #WhiteBathroomsNOW

  • It seems dangerous too... Like... What's to stop a guy from peering into the stall of a woman who's relieving herself? Or vice versa? I know that would make me uncomfortable.

    What’s to stop a homosexual man or women to do the same thing in traditional restrooms.

  • Nothing, but I think it'd be a lot more commonplace if you combined the two, don't you? I'm just saying, I imagine the two sexes have been separated all this time for a reason.

  • [quote]I'm just saying, I imagine the two sexes have been separated all this time for a reason.[/quote] I think it’s been so long that people assume this. I personally have no idea... but it doesn’t seem all that different from the reasons these used to exist.

  • I figured that point was coming, but I maintain that it's for safety and comfort on each side. Relieving yourself involves exposure of genitalia which is also sexual in nature. While true that homosexuals may still attempt to do stuff in bathrooms, since far more of the population is straight, I'd imagine it keeps more people safer separating them and that's the reason. Again, I'm not sure either way, but this seems like a situation here discrimination is necessary to me.

  • Black people are statistically more violent than white people in the US and bathrooms make an opportune place for muggings. I do not feel comfortable sharing a public bathroom with black people. /your logic

  • Not quite. My point was that men and women are, by nature, sexually attracted to one another. Relieving one's self exposes genitalia and so throwing sexes which are normally attracted to each other into a single environment seems potentially dangerous. The analogy you made fails because it's not like black people are naturally inclined to beat white people up. Even if statistics were to show that most black people target white people for crimes, that wouldn't prove it's a natural event whereas reproduction naturally takes place using male and female genitalia. Maybe it wouldn't be a big deal or anything, but I certainly know I'd feel weird in that situation and not because of nontraditional men/women.

  • Perhaps black people don't naturally beat white people, but then men don't naturally -blam!-/sexually assault/etc women.
