Thread Name: BS: I shouldn't have said it...
Subject: RE: BS: I shouldn't have said it...
thread drift if not absolute abandonment..but there are safety reasons not to mix women and men bathrooms..apart from the disgust factor which runs both ways. Do you want your 8 year old daughter or granddaughter having to use the bathroom after a creepy man? Or have him waiting in line after her, perhaps imagining things. And if either men or women can use a bathroom, why not both at the same time for other purposes, including shooting up drugs etc....There are huge creepiness factors for me and men who I allow in my house are more selected by me as to disease status, creepiness status etc. than ones I would use the Greyhound bus bathroom after. But I still in my own house don't like sharing bathrooms with men but I have no choice, but don't have frequent visitors...Now, there still are problems iwth all male bathrooms, and many concern unaccompanied children. What probably is the best solution is to have one smaller men's room, one smaller women's, and one that can be used by people in wheelchairs, parents with children, transgendered people and those wishing to have sex or shoot up drugs in public places. You haven't eliminated the problem but you have diverted it for a lot of people..best I can come up with right now but perhaps there are better solutions.
