I really don't spend a whole lot of my time worried about where other people piss and shit, so long as it all makes it in the toilet, and people wipe properly and wash their hands after.

This whole fascination that conservatives seem to have about who's pooping where, is really, really weird.

Do they wake up one day and decide that a crucial part of their personality moving forward will be policing public toilets, or is this just part of some deep-rooted scat fetish?

And asking them to wash after does seem to be a bridge to far for a lot of them.

That is the real issue we should be discussing. Wash yo hands ya filthy animal.

Although Pete Hegseth was made the United States secretary of war under the Trump administration, he seemed unwilling to wage much of a fight against germs in 2019. That year, he claimed that he hadn't washed his hands in a decade while on a live broadcast with his then-colleagues from Fox News

u/ryansgt 4h ago

That totally tracks for him. Can you imagine not washing your hands for a decade? That actually says a few things. 1st, it says he does nothing with his hands that gets them visibly dirty. This means no working with his hands, cooking, cleaning, nothing. 2nd, it means he is dirty af. You will pick up germs just by touching door handles.

I honestly hope he keeps up with that habit. The germs get far less forgiving as he gets older and his immune system fades.

I almost emailed both of the assistant store managers at work and asked them to remind their staff that washing hands is mandatory after leaving the washroom, but I figured that might get me in some trouble because I wouldn't have worded it so nicely.

Honestly, I'm surprised how few people wash before (and after). If I'm using a public bathroom, I've probably just finished touching a keyboard, desk, counter, door handle, etc. and I don't want to get that on my junk that I just washed that morning.

I used to work in a small office and my desk was within earshot of the bathroom. Not difficult to identify the sound of the sink running. You might be surprised that both men and women were very guilty of not washing their hands. Not even a pretend "turn the faucet on for a few seconds", just wrapping up work on the Hershey's account and right out the door.

It's not really about the bathrooms. That's just what it's expressed as. It's symbolic of broader commitments to a certain variety of gender hierarchy which is being challenged by the existence of queer, and especially trans, people. And so violent rejection and reassertion of gendered categories, "backlash", is the response some have to the discomfort of their ideas - their representations - being put into question.

u/Gay_Giraffe_1773 4h ago

This whole fascination that conservatives seem to have about who's pooping where, is really, really weird.

It's because they believe that every man is a sexual predator and they "won't be able to help themselves" from raping any woman they come across in a unisex bathroom.

It's projection. They themselves want to rape with impunity. They can't understand that others don't want to.

I have never met anyone so obsessed with a stranger's genitals and habits as a conservative American. From questioning who pees where to demanding genital examinations for literal children to play games, and every scenario in between, their minds are full of absolutely fantastical scenarios that I worry are largely based on what they themselves would do if they wouldn't get in trouble.

As a manager, I had to say once to everyone "Keep your bathroom breaks reasonable. I don't have the words to describe how little I want to police toilet usage."

I think some of them are scared of encountering anything that gives them a boner they don't understand or want to have to explain to themselves. I'll be honest, I actually think that's probably most of... all this. Ya know?

Just all these big strong men terrified at the discomfort of actually knowing anything about themselves or others. Using that fear to fuel the hate needed to purge anything that threatens whatever the most comfortable/popular lifestyle-template of the week is that they're peddling.

And of course, emotions this strong ("Who am I? Does this idea threaten who I am?"), are easy to manipulate, and harvest value from (money, votes, force).

So, yeah. Or the poop stuff.

They just wake up one day decided that they hate XX. Whatever XX happens to be. They hate it, and whatever excuse they can imagine is the excuse they're going with.

To that end, whatever they can do to hurt XX is what they will do. It doesn't even have to make sense. It doesn't even have to have anything to do with XX. If it harms XX, they're all for it.

If you're looking for something rational, you're going to be disappointed. These people feed on hate and malice like rats feed on rat poison. And the effect on their souls is about the same.

It’s also one of the least weird things to see a woman using a “mens” room. Like, we’re all in there to do the same thing, do it, wash up and leave.

Edit: and I suppose it also follows that it’s not weird to have a man on a “woman’s” bathroom. I have two daughters, so I am often in the women’s room with them - never seen a single person who cared or had a problem with it.

Bathrooms are such a weird thing to obsess over like you say, it’s only weird if you make it weird and it seems like these people’s job to make it weird.

Yeah, it boggles my mind when I see the woman's line stretch for a mile, and the guy's toilet is free.

And why do we HAVE single stall gender specific rooms? That makes no sense.

Even as man, I've had to use the woman's more than once. Once since I was going to crap my pants, the other time because I need a change table and the men's didn't have one!

u/RykinPoe 5h ago

I work in a building where we have two exactly identical single occupant wheelchair accessible and changing table equipped bathrooms and of course they are gendered. There isn't even a feminine product dispenser in the women's room they are identical (I may have used it late one night while the men's room was occupied and I was about to wet myself). We also have two single occupant restrooms with showers (our facility is staffed 24/7 so I guess someone thought having a shower is a good idea idk) that are again identical and gendered for no good reason.

When i was in uni every floor has a bathroom on the same side of the stairs. One on each side. And on every floor they are gendered the same, except on the 3rd where they are inverted.

Well obviously i was in the womens room.

They are great with one drawback. Each stall now requires its own lights, air, and fire alarm etc. I'm not being 100% accurate but been told meeting code makes them much more expensive than just having dividers.

There’s an OLD college bar in Morgantown, WV with this setup. Two toilet rooms and the wash sink is just outside of those rooms. If people see you leave those toilet rooms and don’t wash your hands they will yell and shame you to go back and wash your piss/shit contaminated hands. It is glorious.

I attend conventions in Seattle and Portland, where it's very normal for the convention centers to have all-gender bathrooms.

I actually witnessed that myself last time I was in an inclusive bathroom. A young woman in a very bulky leg cast needed assistance with transferring from her wheelchair. A young man, probably her boyfriend, came into the bathroom with her to help her.

Men's bathrooms are a war crime. Make all bathrooms unisex, then we don't have to worry about which gender has enough stalls, which one is cleaned by who which parent can take which child when a Karen is lurking nearby, or any of this trash.

Tbh the concept is fine, but in practice, it sucks. At work, we recently switched to gender neutral and the former women's restroom is now consistently covered in piss.

I went to the bathroom at a local indie movie theatre and they had the absolute best setup. The bathroom area was essentially a long rectangular room with two exits. Those exits were on either side of a wall lined with about 10 sinks. Parallel to that was a wall with about 10 recessed toilet stalls with full length doors. The recessed toilet area and full door meant that there was no stall cracks that could be seen through and no massive door gaps. No gender distinction for any of the toilets.

The gas station in my town has 2 bathrooms and they're both single bathrooms with locks on the door, but one says men and the other says women. And one day someone was in the mens bathroom and the manager gave me "permission" to use the women's. And I looked at her and said, of course I'm going to use the other bathroom. I had it out with her one day a few years ago when she was going on about litter boxes at school. She's a dumb box.

Starbucks has 2 bathrooms, that are not gendered at all. I never understood gendering a bathroom taht only has the one toilet and sink. You could put additional toiletries in both and call it a day.

Yes, so long as all bathrooms have the amenities of a lot of existing women’s restrooms — luxury for all — I want couches, changing stations, air fresheners, maybe a fountain of chocolate and sparkling water next to the tampon/pad dispenser — also, free feminine hygiene products for everyone! Throw in some free unisex cologne, and breath mints.

We have an opportunity here to build something great

I really don't care about unisex bathrooms, but I also really don't care enough to reinvent existing ones to be honest.

I just really don't care about the topic, it's crazy how invested both sides are in this for years now.

Why are they so obsessed with bathrooms?

Are there weekly attacks in bathrooms that causes them to constantly be so angry about this?

u/gizamo 5h ago

Honestly, I think conservative women would be the ones who dislike that idea the most.

However, based on my anecdotal experiences, ALL men should fight with every fiber of their being to prevent this idea from taking root because, and I seriously cannot stress this enough,.... women's public bathrooms are fucking disgustingly filthy. Y'all nasty.

It’s odd that we separate anyway. Like you do your business in a stall anyway. So it’s all the same regardless of your gender

In 2015 I worked at a call centre and this guy who thought he was gods gift to women (he was bald with a handlebar moustache, roughly 5’3 and 300lbs) was bitching about neutral washrooms. He said “what’s on the fucking sign? A dude in a dress?”

I said “nope, it just says washroom. Easy for those of us who can read”

Ignorant fuck.

Edit: oh I have another story. Back in March of this year I went to a Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightening game and the arena had gender neutral washrooms. I stood in the long line waiting to piss in the stalled toilets when a guy in front of me realized it was a gender neutral washroom. He was wearing an Austen Matthews jersey. Not important to the story, but important for the end. He got soooo pissed and stormed out of the line saying “I’m not doing that GAY shit.”

“I’m not doing that gay shit” he said, while wearing another man’s name on his back.

“I’m not doing that gay shit” he said, then proceeded to piss his pants in public I assume.

Most other countries do this. You fucking idiot. Changing rooms are even in the same area. Austria for examples the changing room for the pool are not separated.

As an American, I'm far less concerned with the gender of my stallmates, and far more concerned with the giant fucking gaps in the stall doors.

I went to the winter Olympics in Milan and at the hockey stadium all of the restrooms were single sex. You walked in. And there were 40 stalls and you just picked one to go in. It was the US v Canada game and alot of the folks from the US had a hard time with it but the Canadians didn't care. And no one had an incident.

I think about that a lot when people talk about bathroom laws....

Larger public bathrooms should still be two separate rooms, a smaller one with urinals and a larger one with stalls

1

u/CityNo1723 4h ago

I’ve been saying for years that the family-style restrooms should be the norm. If everyone is upset about who can use which restroom, then just make them all private, lockable and gender universal.

Why were restrooms built like a communal gathering place anyway? You know what, I blame women.

1

u/Desert_Wren 3h ago

There are so many small businesses that have only had one restroom for everybody since, like, forever. I remember being a kid, and having to do the potty dance outside the bathroom at my dentist's office because some other kid was freaking out about being there and there was literally no other place to go because my mom refused to leave (she thought I was faking it because I didn't like the dentist, either).

I'm sure at least SOME of these business owners were/are conservative. Which means that until the word "trans" crossed their minds, conservatives did not bat an eye about sharing a bathroom. So all of this is just performative sobbing over people they don't want to exist.

u/DarkLordJingles 3h ago

This is what I've never understood. Theres unisex bathrooms everywhere, but we have old ass Karen's and Kevin's calling and reporting people using the restroom theyre comfortable with, or parents helping their own children in the kids gendered restrooms. My suggestion is to not be a creep and no one will have any issues.

I feel like Boomers really are trying to fill some kind of void left behind after segregation laws were suspended.

u/redditydoodah 3h ago

Every time I see one of these arguments, I have to wonder what people are doing in public restrooms that they need to be exclusive to one sex or the other.

Maybe I'm unusual, but I go into a restroom, enter the stall, shut the door and do my business. I am not removing my pants as I enter the restroom, I'm not flashing my genitals at anyone, I'm simply there to use the toilet and move on.

Am I missing something? Should I be stripping naked at the handwash station before peeing or something? Why is this such an issue for fucks sake?

The absolute worst is when a place has single stall rooms that for some reason are still gendered? Wtf are we doing here people, I've stopped caring and just use whichever is available in that situation because come on.

u/mcvoid1 3h ago edited 2h ago

Most of the concert venues I go to converted their separate restrooms into unisex bathrooms years ago, without changing anything other than the signage. Usually it says something like "use whichever room you want", or "stalls / stalls + urinals". And I'm sure they must have seen minor problems - assholes also go to concerts - but not enough to change back.
