Before the 1960s people just shat in the woods.
I’m all for all-gender bathrooms, but there MUST be at least two public bathrooms at any given spot. I can’t tell you how uncomfortable it is to take a first date to a museum, both need to use the bathroom, and walk into the single, silent, all-gender bathroom, and try to pretend you can’t hear each other doing your business. I assume gay folks have been struggling with this since the beginning, but y’all should have said something
first date to a museum
You had me until this fake detail, don’t lie to us.
The torture museum in amsterdam after doing shrooms
Male and female restrooms and the neutral bathroom is good enough.
They needed to induce bathroom demand after the end of segregation
I had to look this up. It seems gendered bathrooms are very old.
I cannot vouch for this site, but it introduces interesting history. https://historyqa.com/gendered-bathrooms-history/
(The version of history needs to be confirmed and scholarly sources I found have broken URLs.)
It’s sort of the other way. Buildings in the southern US before the 1960s, besides having gendered bathrooms, also had separate bathrooms for white and black people. So 4 kinds of bathrooms. The Pentagon today is apparently a bathroom user’s paradise, because it was built in the 1940s with enough bathroom capacity for all its users even having the 4 kinds of bathrooms. Then after desegregation, its bathrooms got consolidated into just 2 kinds (by gender). So it now has 2x more bathroom capacity per person than newer office buildings have.
are you sure its 2 times the capacity per person now? Because that makes no sense. Without additional info, there should be the same amount of people using the same capacity of bathrooms now.
Just the number of bathrooms usable per person has changed, so you are more likely to have a bathroom nearby. But you don’t have more room or more toilets per sé.
Jeez. I always thought IBS would prevent a pentagon job, maybe the Pentagon was just designed for IBS in a way.
You wouldn’t download a bathroom
Of course not, you download to a bathroom.
Like how racism was invented by big Water Fountain?
In coordination with big bathroom!
I’m noticing a pattern here.
Big Bathroom replaced my toilet with joke toilet that has a smaller hole that’s just for farts and now I can’t even take a shit in my own house!
YOU’RE NOT PART OF THE TURBO TEAM! YOU WALK!
SLOWLY!
Nah, genders were invented by men to avoid giving birth!
I must be doing it wrong. I gave birth to some kidney stones years ago.
Do not reccomend.
Or by women so they have something to never shut up about. It’s been 55 years, mom!
The only issue I have with unisex bathrooms is that by the end of the night women’s bathrooms look like a horror movie.
I used to work at a gas station. I’d have to clean the bathrooms once per shift.
The mens bathroom? A couple of wet spots next to the toilet. I always attributed this to the guys who end up getting multiple streams, and don’t know what to do.
The womens bathroom? Look. I know women bleed once a month. I get it. But ladies, what the fuck are you doing in the gas station bathrooms??? Are you having coat hanger abortions??? Is it like a woman thing to all contribute to one communal blood pool? There is no way these nightly horror scenes all came from one person unless they had a recently chopped off limb! Is Freddie Kruger attacking you ladies while you’re pooping? I have never figured out what the womens bathroom experience is, but it has SHATTERED any illusion to me that women are cleaner/neater than men. We may leave dirty laundry around the house for days, but you gals have an exorcism as you toot.
See, this is why everyone says girls don’t poop. They DON’T poop. They disembowel.
It’s even worse in clubs. I’ve seen pads and tampons stuck to the walls, random objects in the toilet, soiled panties left on the floor. And this isn’t the extremes either. This is a normal fri-sat.
Absolutely. It’s night and day the minute you add alcohol into the mix. I remember telling my old boss I wouldn’t clean the women’s bathroom after weddings anymore unless I got hazard pay.
What is with the tampom wall thing?
No idea, that was by far the worst part.
