At Last, Some Real Leadership

[InTheLight]

Ok, I thought my point was understood let me rephrase it.


Regardless of what else is going on in the world, how is letting men and boys into women's locker rooms and bathrooms in any way trivial?

The frequency of the occurrence coupled with the dearth of complaints makes it trivial.

I also notice that there is no decrying over women entering men's bathrooms.

Regardless of your personal opinion the fact is it is not trivial. Have we become so desensitized to modesty, decency, and the assaults on women that it has now become a trivial matter?

1. Women are more vulnerable to men.
2. Women are more vulnerable to men.
3. Women are more vulnerable to men.
4. Women are more vulnerable to men.

I'm against ugly women coming into the men's restroom.

 

[Revmitchell]

Not sure why any of this needs to be explained.

Which believe it or not happens a lot more than you'd think, especially at sporting events. It seems stadium and arena builders don't plan on enough stalls in women's facilities to take care of a rush. So, rather than wait in a way too long line, women have been known to use the men's, as it usually has empty stalls.

Yes. Recent building codes require more restroom facilities for women - often at a 2:1 to 3:1 ratios.

When I have attended large events at older facilities, women will often crash the men's rooms.

Yes, women are more vulnerable than men.

Police force a woman out of a bathroom, claiming she isn't a woman

A woman was forcibly dragged from a restroom by police who kept insisting she was a man. They dragged her out while calling her sir and her friends followed them yelling, "She's a girl!" So, rather than women being afraid of male predators taking advantage of Target's new policy, women should really be worried about potentially being dragged from the restroom because police officers don't believe your gender.

Scenario:

It's one year ago.
A registered sex offender is caught by the police in a women's rest room.
He is dressed dressed in female attire.

What would have happened to him?

I also don't understand why this has to be tied to sexual assault for it to be a bad idea.

Is there some kind of rape litmus test I don't know about?

It doesn't need to be tied to sexual assault to be a bad idea. It is a very very bad idea even without that component. It does, however, raise the stakes.

Apparently we have lost our sense of decency and modesty. Women breast feed in public, they go to the bathroom together with me.

It is all perverted behavior. It is sick and unhealthy.

Everything is rape. Where have you been? Wink

I think the most tragic aspect of this latest ploy is that this Bob Rivers comedy classic has been robbed of its humor:

Time for an update, don't you think? Let's rewrite this ditty using words that rhyme with gag and hag . . .

Maybe it is because I have lived in China and the Czech Republic and traveled in both areas. It is puzzling to me why Americans get so uptight about public toilets. It isn't a problem in most parts of the world. Also, maybe, because of growing up in the country where everyone had outhouses, many were two or three holers.

It really is mostly the US. I don't I've seen any other country make such a big deal out of bathrooms. I actually think it's safer to let young boys be able to use the bathroom with their mothers.

Why not just make all public toilets unisex? Lines for women certainly would not be long as they are so often now. After all the "thrones" stalls all have sidewalls and doors, so there is privacy. So, what is the big problem?

Precisely. Just take out all of the urinals and everything should be fine.

 

[Zaac]

How is allowing boys and men in womens and girls bathrooms and locker rooms in any way trivial/

Again, the bathrooms shouldn't be a problem. It gets a little trickier when you start talking about locker-rooms. I still wonder why they let female sportscasters into the locker-rooms of the NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB?

Because this is the American culture.
Sure rest rooms could be unisex - but the cost would be way too much
Most public restrooms have several commodes and sinks -

Not really. Take out the urinals and every stall is unisex.

Rape in a public toilet! I don't think so. How often have you gone into a public toilet or a toilet in a school and been the only person there?

Apparently we have lost our sense of decency and modesty. Women breast feed in public, they go to the bathroom together with me.

Mothers always nursed the babies during worship services where I grew up in rural Virginia. They simply sat on the front row. It is a most natural thing to do, nurse the baby. An infant nursing at his/her mother's breast is one of the most beautiful events.

If you are worried about decency and modesty why not protest the semi-nudity of summer dress ... both male and female.

Why not protest the same as well as the soft pron on TV?

Protest real issues.

Crabby -- you are absolutely right!!!

But I thought that women want equality????
