    Bonus tip: If there’s no witnesses around, you can put an official-looking unisex bathroom sign on any stray bathroom. Most people aren’t gonna question it.

    I went to an Alamo Drafthouse once with an interesting bathroom set up.

    When you walk up to the restroom, there’s a large bay of sinks. To the left is a door that leads to a room of urinals and to the right is a hallway of stalls. Everyone just goes where they need to and since the sinks are out in the open where everyone sees and passes by, there’s more social pressure to wash your hands.

    Don’t tell the fascists that the bathrooms in their homes are unisex.

        patriarchy enforces itself on boys starting as early as when they’re five (that’s when i was first told boys and girls can’t be friends). the patriarchy supports the types of people who are consistently republican. republicans consistently step in to defend and enforce patriarchy. if you’re familiar with the shit Akademiks got caught doing recently, that’s… that’s how patriarchy enforces itself on boys when they’re 13-16. it’s republicans doing the grooming, and republicans accusing us of grooming. and so we are clear, i am not letting the democrats off the hook here. their tolerance of intolerant philosophies is actively harmful to our survival effectively they groom us to be groomed for our patriarchal roles

      My fifth grader is going to go through his “human growth and development” series this spring in school, and they’ve stopped separating them by gender and everyone is all in the same classroom. Very different than when I did it in the mid-90s. It’s especially good because there’s kid at school who is nonbinary and I know of at least one other who is questioning.

    All for it though it’s best done when renovations are possible. Was at a place where they did it with multistall bathrooms and you had to guess which one had urinals.

    Edit: of course could also just add a sign saying urinals here.

      There should be two restrooms. One with only stalls, one with only urinals. That way we get the efficiency gains of urinals (very important at football stadiums), and nobody has to see a dick if they don’t want to.

        I mean, I don’t know who goes to public bathrooms to see dick. I don’t even want to be in there in the first place. Seeing someone else’s bits is pretty low on the list of things I want to see in there, right above shit smeared walls.

    Unisex private bathrooms are great, sure, but I’d guess the majority of mothers wouldn’t want to bring their children into bathroom men are whipping their dicks out in. Coeds have a whole different life journey their on in their nascent post pubescence, in terms of safety and body freedom. I mean, if that’s what’s being championed here, whooo boy, lol, yeah, that’s not going to work out.

      I’m having a hard time seeing the issue here. Dads bring their kids to the bathroom too. And if you mean changing diapers, most changing stations are right next to the entrance.

      You realize people go to the bathroom to pee and poop, right? Nobody’s slingin’ their dicks around and having sword fights.

          This is the second time you’ve commented about men “whipping their dicks out” in public restrooms.

          You seem to have zero worries about men bringing their children into bathrooms where women are whipping their vag out though…

          Is it because women don’t whip their vag out in public restrooms? Well, have I got news for you about what men go to the restroom for…

          (Hint: it doesn’t involve whipping.)

      Well with the bathrooms divided shitty things already happen. I’d actually like to counter your point and say this’ll actually improve the issue. If someone has a bunch of guys ready to beat their ass if they do something fucked up, they might decide against it. Literally everyone in that bathroom would have to be a piece of shit person to let something like that happen whereas right now you just need one piece of shit to sneak into the other bathroom.

        Say you’ve never been to NYC without saying it, you ever walked by a homeless guy jacking off? I’m also distrusting your “group of guys ready to beat ass hanging out in the bathroom.” Who signs up for that bedside weird perverts?

          A random homeless dude jerking off in the streets is not even in the same ballpark as someone getting raped in a bathroom, cmon. And it’s not something you “sign up for”, if you’re not a piece of shit, you see someone in danger that you can maybe help, you try to help them. They aren’t saying there’s literally just a group of dudes sitting in a bathroom waiting for someone to try something, they’re saying in a bathroom full of dudes, there’s a pretty high chance if something does happen, they’re not all going to just sit around or walk out.

              Edit: can someone else tell me what’s weird? I don’t think anyone would compare seeing a mentally unwell person fondling their wiener to getting straight up assaulted, and I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t try to stop someone from being assaulted if they could help. Where am I off?

      I’m probably out of touch but…what do we actually expect to happen?

      Would guys be embarrassed that random girls might see their dick at a urinal?

      Do we expect random sex in public bathrooms?

      Disclosure that I do not have a dick.

        And at the same time if you had a bunch of other guys in the bathroom to beat his ass that’d be a plus too. I ain’t afraid to punch a pervert in his stupid face.

      Maybe just better Multiperson bathrooms or single person only?

      Honestly Bukiees the gas station, has a pretty great Multiperson bathroom experience. Add just a little more to that so that they washing area can be fully public (i.e. cameras), and for some places with less traffic some occupancy sensors for the toilet rooms, and bam. We can have private, safe feeling bathrooms that can handle higher volumes. No need to have people feel like their in little assault traps regardless of gender.
