RE: Just for the crack. (Uk slang)

Because i can.

And because the subject of discrimination interests me greatly.

In the workplace - 9 times out of 10(est), the toilets are separate for men and women.

The reason most commonly expressed for this is that some people feel uncomfortable performing their ablutions etc in the same room as members of the opposite sex, fear of sexual harassment etc, and things of this nature...


Given the above information...

A man/woman may feel uncomfortable by EXACTLY the same token as the above situation by someone gay/lesbian using the same toilets as them.

Would it be right to have separate toilets for people of same sex lifestyles ?
Or would it be more appropriate to abolish the communal toilets all together in favour of multiple cubicles.

Yes. It's a fairly specific situation but the principals behind it are VERY widely relevant.

What do you think.

Call the man/woman uncomfortable with gay/lesbians homophobic, and again on principal your relating all of the above straight male/females not comfortable with unisex toilets hetro-phobes.


P.S. the above information does not relate in any way shape or form to my opinions on discrimination in general - it's merely a completely valid perspective less considered.

Opinions please, or as is traditional...

Discuss...

Great topic for random discussion...

I am in favor of men waiting in the same lines we must wait in personally, and have no problem using a men's restroom when the women's is lined up around the coliseum...always offering a warning, "Woman entering." The only glitch I foresee is that ordinarily urinals are highly exposed, and I'm not necessarily in favor of herding my children past a group of men "NOT" looking at the sizes of the other guys' Johnsons. A privacy screen of some sort could alleviate this concern. A family/handicapped restroom would be another way of addressing this issue as well as offering a more comfortable facility for the physically challenged. We could always have separate rooms for standers and sitters. Then again, if men sat for all of their duties the seat would never likely have the over-spray problems in the first place. Yeah right. This is the true meaning of "penis-envy"... wishing we could stand to urinate anywhere we pleased. Finally, one room, stalls for all. Carry antiseptic wipes with you for sanitary purposes.

Is the gay population really that big that we need to resort to such practices though?

[Davecat]

Again - assuming for the most part that the people who may consider themselves to be uncomfortable around unisex toilet idea's are the minority, yet the measures are in place anyway. I don't think the size of the gay population would have much of an effect.

BTW this was supposed to be in serious discussion...

But in the spirit of AIW, I'm a fucking fool.

[tca]

I don't find it particulary differing in anyway if a female uses the same toilet as me, just means less piss on the floor. lol

It Should Just Stay The Same, Nobody Really Cares Do They?
