a lot of the toilets in clubs are unisex anyway

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 17 February 2003 19:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

well then dan, and maria, how would you feel about making all bathrooms unisex?

― reed, Monday, 17 February 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wouldn't bother me at all.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wouldn't mind bathrooms being unisex as long as they had stall doors. (That would remove the social function they have for women sometimes, but oh well.) I have no clue why some men's bathrooms don't have stalls if women's do, though...I really like privacy, I'm sure others do too.

― Maria (Maria), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have no clue why some men's bathrooms don't have stalls if women's do, though.

To discourage gay sex, I suspect.

(On the other hand, at the public [middle & high] schools I attended -- not hotbeds of George Michael-style restroom hookups, as far as I know -- the men's bathrooms had no stall doors, and the women's did. I'm not really sure what the rationale for that was, but I certainly didn't like it.)

To discorage gay sex/masturbation (delete where applicable)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

the point is, why do women feel it is perfectly ok for them to invade our private places, while getting upset if we invade theirs?

― reed, Monday, 17 February 2003 20:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Because the men's room isn't really a private place?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

you are part of the problem dan. women stand up for their rights, and privacy, while men donnot give a damn about their own!

― reed, Monday, 17 February 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

The men's rooms at my school don't even have soap or paper towels (the women's are supposed to). They're cheap and they figure males are less likely to complain, I guess. (And it's all your fault, Dan!)

― Maria (Maria), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

The day that urinals are enclosed in stalls just like toilets is the day I admit that men's lavatories are private places.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've been to clubs where there have been men in the women's room.

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

(That was my fault, too.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

men go into women's rooms to do drugs with their girlfriends

― tri, Monday, 17 February 2003 20:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

who cares? it's just a damn bathroom. . .

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 17 February 2003 20:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've been in women's toilets and no one objected or got distressed, and I've had women walk in to the men's toilets when I've been urinating and no one objected or got distressed. Exactly what kind of fucking stupid argument over nothing is this?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sure Martin, whenever a man complains about his rights, it is a stupid argument.

― Stephen Ancroid, Monday, 17 February 2003 22:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

If the crux of men being denied their rights comes down to peeing in privacy then I say men have it pretty good.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like mens toilets as they are, a good place for talking shit to strangers in clubs about the dj or whatever else

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hmmmm...so once my on-live-in SO was at a gathering in Baltimore and ended-up at a urinal right next to John Waters. They finished together, shook, zipped, and left (I assume they washed their hands, too).

So, A) Would this encouer have occurred if the bathrooms were unisex and B) Why won't he tell me about John Waters' ding-aling? and C) Should I believe him when he says he didn't look?

And, on a related note - in the dorms at Santa Cruz, the floor restrooms/showers/etc. are completely unisex - seems healthy, to me.

BUT - I do believe that there are areas where men are discriminated against - however, I think that, overall, women are fighting more discrimination in many more areas.

like guys care about privacy! I have seen men just whip it out in public,and piss on the side of a building!

― lizzie Mac, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 00:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Maybe if we could forget about name calling, and ridicule, and actually talk to one another we can eliminate all forms of hatred! just because someone disagrees with you, does not make them, or their concerns stupid!

― Dennis, Tuesday, 18 February 2003 01:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Three cheers for Dennis' comment. You've given us words of wisdom on a thread of words of chaos and disgruntlement. You're my hero *smile*

I was making use of the massive, Purbeck marble urinals in the grade 1 listed mens lavs in the Philharmonic Dining Rooms (a tremendous pub in Liverpool). In walked several female American tourists WITH CAMCORDERS ROLLING filming the delightful decoration.

I was a little taken aback, but mostly I thought it was funny. I resisted the temptation to turn around and greet / drench them.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 10:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha the delightful decoration = the decor in the toilets, rather than any self-aggrandisement on my part, obv.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 10:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hm "my part" oh I wish I'd never said anything now.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 10:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Why in the world would anyone video a urinal? "This is how they pee in Europe..." -- that's just silly.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 11:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a very impressive lavatory, purbeck marble and mosaics.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 11:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

and tim's decorated part

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 11:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Decorative, certainly.

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Decorated, less so.)

Women were put on this earth for 2 reasons. Having babies, and pleasing men.

― Thug, Wednesday, 19 February 2003 02:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Having men and pleasing babies?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 19 February 2003 03:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

another job well done

You forgot COOKING AND CLEANING!

I do not hate women, I love women, especially ones with big bazoombas and shaved...

― fester, Saturday, 22 February 2003 23:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

seven months pass...

I just stumbled on to this thread, and I notice no one has posted since Feb. But here goes anyway. I do not hate women, but one thing I hate about them is when they dress sexy, and then get mad if you look. Why in the world would you dress like that if you didn't want men to look?

― Trent, Wednesday, 1 October 2003 14:43 (twenty years ago) link

Because dressing up and liking clothes is what we woman quite like to do sometimes, I don't know if you've noticed (stupid comment, you obviously haven't, sorry).

Besides, I always thought it was the boyfriends that had a problem with that.

― lupine lupin (lupinelupin), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 15:13 (twenty years ago) link

maybe the women aren't trying to dress sexy. maybe they're deliberately dressing trashy so that they will look like drag queens and guys will feel like idiots for perving. experience tells me that guys seldom get the joke.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:33 (twenty years ago) link

or maybe all guys are homos, but perhaps i'm being a little utopian.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:34 (twenty years ago) link

Funny how it's okay for a woman to be homophobic, but a guy would be clobbered if he dared make fun of a lesbian!

― Trent, Friday, 3 October 2003 19:21 (twenty years ago) link

Funny how it's okay for a woman to be homophobic

????????

― oops (Oops), Friday, 3 October 2003 19:33 (twenty years ago) link

He meant "homophonic" and "thespian".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 3 October 2003 22:08 (twenty years ago) link

trent maybe nobody mentioned anything because they all know i am not homophobic. i am in fact a faghag and rather queer.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 4 October 2003 06:29 (twenty years ago) link

Oh sorry, I am new here, just found this place about a week ago. Have a close relative who is gay, and i get a little touchy about that.
