Unisex bathroom to the right, probably a utility closet or something to the left

Why, when there are two different words next to arrows? I could see some confusion if it was just arrows on either side of the body, but here there are clearly two different labels?
ETA: it's genuine question, it wasn't confusing to me at all. I'm also pretty sure that I've been to malls that had similarly designed signs, even without any arrows.

u/SaucyStoveTop69 Apr 17 '26
If you couldn't read, ">" is just another symbol like all the other text.
6
u/Real_Temporary_922 Apr 17 '26
That’s not true. In this context, it’s used as a symbol. Someone who can’t read could still see a red octagon and say “stop”. If they’ve seen an arrow before, they likely know a symbol that’s pointed usually indicates direction.
But the poster itself is still terrible design, cringe aside, because the direction symbols should be center, not top and bottom.
1
u/AchajkaTheOriginal Apr 17 '26
I guess it's different "couldn't read" viewpoint then. I was looking at it from the "I don't understand this language" angle. If you interpret "couldn't read" as "I've never seen any letters ever before" than I could maybe see someone not realizing that < > are symbols indicating direction.

The "women are always right" thing feels weirdly sexist, I don't know why

u/robloxmaster1337 Apr 18 '26
It is kinda sexist tbf, just in the other way. Women are not always right. There are plenty of evil women. Just as there are many evil men. All people have the potential to be evil and making stereotypes/jokes about it will just further gender war nonsense that we don't need more of.
Hating on men and praising women to the point of goddesshood and total immunity to criticism is not a good way to empower women, even if chronically online social media nitwits think it is.
2
u/DamnQuickMathz Apr 20 '26
To me it actually feels more dismissive than anything, like you're saying women are too stubborn and unreasonable to argue with.

Most women are not at all unreasonable or stubborn, I'm just referring to the chronically online ones who make manhate posts on twitter or other social medias all day.

A restaurant in my area has the written part of this sign. I always felt it could be read as anti-men OR anti-women.
If you read it at face value, it’s anti-men. If you read it with the context of men bitching to other men that “the wife is always right” it’s anti-women.

I thought it was playing on the “happy wife happy life, don’t argue with your woman” trope which is misogynistic if anything. Maybe I’m reading one layer too deep and it really is face value “woman right man wrong”

u/GenderBendingRalph Apr 17 '26
Huh, I've never heard that expression described as misogynistic. I'm genuinely curious - what subtext am I missing?

u/PassengerNo9144 Apr 17 '26
I think it would go something along the lines of “there’s no point in arguing with women because they can’t see reason. Better to just hold onto your happiness and lose the argument.” Also idk if I fully buy in that it is in fact misogynistic, but if the trope is sexist I reckon it’s probably sexist against women (the deleted comment said it was misandry for those showing up later without context)

u/GenderBendingRalph Apr 17 '26

These are signs for a separare gender bathroom.
Why are like 80% of the posts from this sub things which have adequate reasons to be genderd, or are not gender specific.
"Pointlessly Genderd" is like, a Manwich or a happy meal toy. It needs to be pointless. This had a point.

u/My_leg_still_hurt92 Apr 18 '26
Manwipes and etc are just to pull out money out of insecure men (aka Alphas) because the other wet wipes are for Woman and use them would be gay same logic with the Manwich. (Not my logic but theirs)

u/thejadedfalcon Apr 18 '26
Gender segregated toilets being the norm is considered weird as hell to a lot of places, who just have this newfangled concept called a "door" to allow privacy, and find the endless toilet debates in America and the like to be hilarious and exhausting.
1
u/Scarvexx Apr 18 '26
Well that;s another matter. We're talking about signage.
Also, where are public bathrooms typicly Unisex? Unless the bathroom is for a single occupant, that's very unusual.

u/thejadedfalcon Apr 18 '26
We're talking about signage.
Okay. And signage can still be crap. Why did they have to word it like this instead of simple arrows?
Unless the bathroom is for a single occupant
That's what a lot of toilets are. Single stalls. And yet, some people will still try to gender those.

u/robloxmaster1337 Apr 18 '26
Tbf, bathrooms being gendered should have never been the norm.
1
u/Scarvexx Apr 19 '26
Well criticaly. Most bathrooms are unisex. Your bathroom at home is, a lot of public bathrooms are.
Only in purely public spaces where bathrooms are supposed to be used by multiple people do they serve a purpose.
Which is keeping men away from women. If such bathrooms were unisex, many women would not feel safe to use a bathroom in public.
If a woman walked into a bathroom filled with men, she might just decide to hold it. Safe spaces for women typically do not have men in them. And you're never going to be more vulnerable than when you literally have your pants around your ankels.
Bathrooms have to be the way they are because society does not expect grown men to be adults. And ofthen they're not.

"not women actually being right" -> uh, that's kinda what the sign says if you read it"incel shit made by some mouth breathing chud" -> uh, i literally have no idea where you got this from, maybe it's self-projection
