    A woman can use the men's restroom with no one batting an eye no matter how old but if a kid/boy/man tried to use the womans///

    So much for male privilege eh...?

    eh, why would we have a problem if a kid/boy/man tries to use the men's restroom?

    Have I been doing something wrong?
    :confused:

    Why are you obsessed with gender? Every single thread. Do you ever talk about anything else?

    There was a funny video on YT , some guy in the USA (of course) went into a Ladies WC and women were complaining, when security confronted him he told them he identified as a woman - the guard was then scared to do anything.

    Shows how mad PCness has gotten ..

    We do bat eyes when a woman uses our toilets. If she bursting and not making a big deal about it then that's grand. Ifs shes strutting around like a cock then shes just acting the ****. Also if a young fella (under 10 I suppose?) used the ladies I don't think that's a big deal either. Over 5 or 6 you could gently point out that he's not suppose to use the ladies.

    Is kid/boy/man a relation of man/bear/pig?

    On a separate note, you'd be surprised how many males I've encountered in female toilets - lost, or being assisted, having to change a baby's nappy and the only changing facilities being in the ladies', or simply avoiding a filthy men's loo.

    ^^ This. I honestly don't get the obsession. Make the damn things unisex and be done with it, end those stupid discussions.

    No woman would bat an eyelid if a male child goes into the ladies (happens all the time). It would draw attention if a man did it though, just because I've never seen it happen.

    I'll admit to popping into the gents on the extremely rare occasion when the line for the ladies is ridiculously long and I'm desperate!! However mens loos never seem to have the same issue with lines so there's no reason for them to go to the ladies instead? Sure why would they subject themselves to queues if they don't have to!!

    Unisex loos ftw though!

    I don't understand the hysteria over bathrooms. There are cubicles which lock. You undress in there, do what you need to do and off you go. Why does it even need to be segragated?

    God forbid a man hears you pissing ffs. :rolleyes:

    I'm more aghast at manky yokes who don't wash their hands tbh.

    I use the womens toilets with no issues :pac:

    Disabled jacks is where it's at. Usually treat myself to the one in work when it's my birthday. Never used, spotlessly clean, plenty space, my own mirror and no-one in the next stall having an exorcism of their bowels. #littlethings

    I'm my salad days as a feckless cad, I used to use the Ladies Toilets.
    It was fun up until it wasn't.

    If you're a bloke go in the blokes if you're a lady go in the ladies.

    No one cares what nippers do.

    ITS NO BIG DEAL.
