yes I am sure that would work when people are building things for profit

I can see the planning meeting now...

Same here, every swimming pool I have been to has one big room with cubicles and isn't gendered. No reports of any rapes there. I saw a couple shagging once though.

There's been a few assaults at mine, including someone taking pictures of women from over the top of the cubicles.

This is the best argument against the existence of communal changing rooms you'll ever see



Every word of it the gospel truth :laugh3:

MTVN 11-06-2016 04:10 PM

I've never known anything but communal changing rooms at gyms

But, then again, I don't go to the gym

Firewire 11-06-2016 04:12 PM

I felt uncomfortable in communal changing rooms at school, I would've preferred changing with the girls.

But then in saying that, I would probably feel more comfortable doing the toilet around men than I would women.

Is that weird?

Greg! 11-06-2016 04:15 PM

Omg I used to HATE going in the male communal changing room at school as well. I would have felt a lot more comfortable in a gender neutral one with cubicles

Marsh. 11-06-2016 04:16 PM

Ugh, changing for swimming when going with school and all the old men wouldn't even try to hide their wrinkly scrotums in front of all the children. :worry:

Having worked in customer service most of my life, I know the blokes toilets always ****ing reek. Also you find the most disgusting things in there (poos in the urinals, condoms behind the toilet etc) which I haven't found in the womens. As such I would prefer women only

You've already got that London look, LT, it's just a shame that it's south Croydon in particular

Niamh. 11-06-2016 04:48 PM

Girls bathrooms are just cubicles anyway so it makes no difference

I grew up with two sisters and I learned this by one day walking into the toilet with a tampon in it that one of them had forgot to flush. It was disgusting. :yuk:

I hate public bathrooms all together so not voting

Liberty4eva 11-06-2016 06:11 PM

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but men and women have different cultures when it comes to bathrooms. I perceive women bathrooms as more "talky" and cleaner. And they do their makeup in the bathroom which men obviously don't do. If men entered the equation I think all of that would change. Some women have said they would be uncomfortable around men in the bathroom and this actually would make me uncomfortable around them. Being a big guy I don't like the idea of them thinking I might be a potential rapist.

In every country around the world men and women have different bathrooms. When you try to destroy something we have had for so long you are playing with fire.

The answer to the problem of rape may occurring is to have everywhere open except the cubicles.

At my school we have gender neutral everywhere. However, the sink area/mirrors/dryers are all outside where everyone can see and there's cameras outside too so school know that nobodies up to funny business. However, obviously, the cubicles are cut off and there's a boys side and a girls side so the school can keep an eye out for no genders swapping sides either.

It's a really simple method to make sure that woman do not have to feel unsafe when using these bathrooms.

But then you're straight back to the problem of people who have a different gender identity / who are struggling with their gender identity having to "pick a side", which sort of makes the entire concept of gender neutral toilets pointless.

I mean I've been in a few nightclubs where the mirrors / sink areas are communal with doors leading off to the actual mens / ladies toilets, but I think they're basically set up like that to provide additional social space for people to interact away from the music / dance floor / bar.

Northern Monkey 12-06-2016 11:42 AM

Just have a gender neutral room with another section kind of walled off abit with the urinals.Don't see a problem with that tbh.

jaxie 12-06-2016 11:46 AM

You live with a gender neutral bathroom at home. :shrug:
Though I'm not sure the best view is a row of blokes at a urinal.

DemolitionRed 12-06-2016 02:33 PM

I knew Ted would have something on this!


the truth 12-06-2016 03:32 PM

yes. many times ive used a male toilet and drunken women have burst in to use the facilities.

Livia 12-06-2016 04:10 PM

I've been into plenty of gender-neutral toilets, I don't see what the big deal is.
