Big Guy Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 There have been a few recent threads that have dealt with gender, nudity, modesty and freedom. I found some of the comments interesting and surprising. I would be interested in posters views on unisex toilets or restrooms. I have been in a few in Europe that were "enlightening" and "uncomfortable". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_public_toilet Would you use unisex toilets in public places in North America. Would you allow your 3 or 5 or 8 or 10 or 12 year old to use one without your supervision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_First Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 12 year old fine. Any younger and I'll be going in first to throw the...scratch that I wouldn't use one in the first place. I don't frequent places that allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) We should just make unisex washrooms for kids only. Older generations are probably too far gone and hung up for enlightened potty retraining. Edited June 28, 2015 by eyeball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Anyone who has attended an event at BC place is familiar with mixed washrooms. Even if they aren't signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1=e^ipi Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Seems like it would save money. It would also make it easier for gender non-binary individuals, trans individuals, and a parent with a child of the opposite sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msj Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I prefer segregated bathrooms because women tend to squat and pee all over the seat. I've peed in urinals with women in the bathroom (once at the airport near Amsterdam when the cleaner came in and cleaned the urinals around me, once in Saigon airport too). It was not an issue at all given that we were adults acting like adults. As for kids, parents should always be present so the little ones don't act like children or act like adult women who pee all over seats....

WestCoastRunner Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 As for kids, parents should always be present so the little ones don't act like children or act like adult women who pee all over seats.... Or adult men who pee all over the walls, the floors, their neighbours,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msj Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) There was a time when I worked in a bar/restaurant and as newest/lowest person there I had to clean the washrooms. The women's was always worse than the men's. Always. Edited June 28, 2015 by msj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women's was always worse than the men's. Always. I raised two boys and a girl and that experience leaves me wondering how that could possibly be the case. Strangely enough my daughter couldn't aim at and hit a baseball to save her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msj Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Children I understand. For adults, I don't. I suspect it is some kind of domino effect: if one woman gets messy and pees all over the seat and floor then its game over and all hell breaks loose. Men are their usual sloppy selves but generally it was little more than some pee on the floor when they dripped and missed the urinal. Now days we have bulls eyes and off-centre flys to aim at so its probably getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Really? No unisex bathrooms because one sex supposedly makes a bigger mess than the other? That's where we're at with this? Sorry transgendered people. It's just too f'ing bad using public facilities is such a clusterf'ck for you, but one sex makes a bigger mess than the other, so we need to maintain our crystal clean male bathrooms for hygienic purposes.

Wilber Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 There was a time when I worked in a bar/restaurant and as newest/lowest person there I had to clean the washrooms. The women's was always worse than the men's. Always. Back in the day when full service gas stations were actually full service, I worked in a few. One of the duties was washroom cleaning and you are 100% correct. Unless some drunk had puked all over the mens, the womens can was always the worst.

I did not say that. Caitlyn Jenner can use the women's all she likes. If she wants to use the men's then that would be fine as long as she cleans up her mess. So really my preference would be to keep the messy people out period and otherwise it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Fair enough then. Nothing worse than a public washroom Picasso.....or is Jackson Pollock more apt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
