What's the reasoning behind separate bathrooms to begin with? I can't even be happy for the Colorado incident because it just seems like we're prohibiting perfectly good toilets on the basis of one's gender, which is irrelevant to toilet-use.

Sex could that be a reason. Really though its traditional.
-
The point is if I have a penis... And go into the girls washroom. Peeing is not what im going to be doing. Oggling the girlies.

1. YEAH! STEREOTYPING ALL MEN TOGETHER. 2. LET'S NOT ALLOW GAY GUYS INTO MEN'S RESTROOMS, BECAUSE THEY MIGHT OGGLE OTHER MEN! 3. LET'S NOT LET LESBIANS IN WOMEN'S RESTROOMS, BECAUSE THEY MIGHT OGGLE OTHER WOMEN.

>LET'S NOT ALLOW GAY GUYS INTO MEN'S RESTROOMS, BECAUSE THEY MIGHT OGGLE OTHER MEN! That's all that happens now that gays can serve in the army...
-
Gays were always allowed to join the military, they just had to not talk about it. Which was stupid, as there's no logical reason to not allow them to serve in the military. Just as there's no reason to not let someone who is transgendered into the military.

But now I have to worry about my gay squadmate oogling me in the shower while I merely glance subtly at other men's junk.

2nd amendment > the rest

Just because you're a pervert doesn't mean that women should be forced to take their clothes off around them.
-
Yeah, transgendered individuals are all perverts. We're just terrible people because we have the audacity to decide that we're not going to let our genitalia dictate what we wear or how we act.
-
I didn't say transgender were perverts. I was replying to the guy who said that there shouldn't be bathrooms for genders, just one for everybody.
-
I'm sorry for misunderstanding your argument, sir... I now feel terrible.
-
That's alright :)

hey hey guy you ever heard of [spoiler]stalls[/spoiler]

You know how women always take so long in the bathroom? you can't tell me you'd be willing to wait in that line when you can just go to the men's room.

[quote]What's the reasoning behind separate bathrooms to begin with?[/quote] I say it's because of protection. Do you really want some pervert using the same restroom with a women? Do you really want some pervert in the same locker room and shower area with a women?
-
Because transgendered individuals are perverts. Because lesbians can't be perverts. Because shower rooms can't have a swimsuit rule.
-
Seems like someone is forgetting about lesbians.
-
"Pervert" in this case being defined as "a male?" Sure.
-
Women's restrooms are disgusting, dude. Separate facilities are for our own good.
-
Men and women, boys and girls, basically. Generally, males can't be trusted to share such private space with females without making them uncomfortable somehow.
-
That's irrelevant. The black users of public drinking fountains may irk white citizens but that's no reason to create separate fountains.

Edited by Wyldfyre: 7/29/2013 12:28:25 AMIt really isn't. It's hard to transpose the experience to a male, but trust me, the guys I've been around in public toilets I would not want anywhere near a women's restroom, for their sake. The analogy though doesn't work, because there's never been a modern major case of incidents or unrest concerning the use of public drinking fountains by different races.

1. The women's sake, I mean. 2. Not that I could find, but as far as I can tell, most unisex restrooms are in schools, on kinds of campuses and/or are regulated during use. Which, if it works, I have no problem with. Personally, I still wouldn't use them.
