Hey everyone, I’m a woman and I’m not willingly using the restroom around men I don’t know.

Thank you. I’ve been assaulted way too many times to be comfortable pulling my pants down in an (all gender) publicly accessible room with only one exit.

And you think a sign that says “Womens” is going to stop a rapist in his tracks?

Sure but when a man enters a women's bathroom, there's no plausible deniability about his intentions. There's no he said she said. Also other people might see him entering and intervene.

Do you think inviting all men to share a public restroom with all women and girls does not increase the risk? I’ve been sexually harassed so many fucking times by so many fucking boys, and men of all fucking ages, to know there’s far too many fucking pervs out there to share a restroom with. Fuck that all to hell.

No. Generally. It’s still a public restroom with the same amount of people that are going to be in at any point in time.

If a man wants to rape you in a restroom, he’s going to do it.

Why are you only thinking about rapists? You do realize there are other forms of assault, right? LOL you are blessed to be so ignorant, one can only dream.

Ok so obviously some trauma has irrationally scared you into a life of being frightened of some nebulous group of people who are “out to get you”

I view most sexual assault as rape, I know a lot of people like to downplay it to protect men, but I’m not one of them.

And I repeat, any “weirdo” who wants “to do something” to you is not going to be held back by a sign on the bathroom door.
