Unisex restrooms

[Viker]

In 1974 when I was in India, there was a field I had to cross that was a "minefield" of poop. You can have it.

No thanks. Sometimes, I find, offering the most absurd solutions can help us solve our more absurd problems.

As far as unisex vs gender bathrooms go, I've been in situations where there's a long line of women and none for men so a number of women took it on themselves to ignore the sign and join us. It felt a bit odd at the time because of my upbringing and experience but marriage and my wife coming in to do something while I was having a sitzkrieg and visa versa to wear the psychological reaction.

How do you feel about them? Call me old-fashioned but personally I’m kind of creeped out.

Didn't you mean "unisex" restrooms? Same sex is what we have, now (all male or all female).

Anything new tends to be awkward for people. But truth be told we can get used to pretty much anything, and do so fairly quickly. And this solution does resolve a lot of this current gender identity nonsense.

You'll find them all over France and no one has a problem with that. If they are clean and have a lock, what is the big deal anyway?

It’s a modesty thing.

I got used to them in college. No problem for me. If people are bent out of shape of someone with the wrong genitals or genetics using a restroom, then instead of a generic "woman" or "man" shape on the door, they should show a penis or vulva or genetic code on the door and then have genetic or genital inspections to enforce it. Seems much more simple and adaptable to shifting gender roles to just go to same sex restrooms and have more private areas in them.

It’s a modesty thing.

Well go into a cubicle alone then.

I've been in that line many times before. The men's line is always shorter. And moves faster.

 

[Jimmy]

Unisex. It's the only way and I'm surprised it isn't resolved by now.

Go into the cubicle and close the door, like I do.

That's true! OK I've changed my mind, let's stick with the old binary system - don't want females clogging up the queue

 

[Jimmy]

which is why so many people here are in a snit about this...

For me the modesty starts at the front door

Modesty starts at the front door for me

Well I meant same as in both sexes use the same restroom

There may be people who do have separate bathrooms at home, but for the most part, everyone lives with shared bathrooms at home...

True that. But thank god we have two or else I'd be using the garden with the cats.

It would be a relief. Then I could go into the bathroom with my nine year old without concern of what he's doing.

(For those of you who have heard stories of him, you'll know why this is an issue.)

So now your telling me

Right, plus your children get to learn modesty as well.

Why? Do you pull your pants down immediately upon entering a restroom?

Um, we're two different people.
