I was just pointing out that whether you use women’s bathrooms or men’s, the same point applies: this concern about the genitals of the person in the next stall is a weird non-problem cooked up by bigots, yet the politicians scramble to appease them.
Originally they came about as a means of keeping women out of public life and in the home. Buildings would often designate toilets as “Men’s” as an excuse to make them inaccessible. Its really that daft and sexist.
Urinals. Most restaurants and cafes have unisex cubicles. When you get to pubs and nightclubs you can get more pee draining space per square foot with a urinal.
As far as I understand it nothing stops an establishment just declaring all their toilets as unisex. I’ve certainly been in a number of drinking establishments where this has been the case.
I wasn’t reflecting my feelings on the subject, was merely trying to understand why this has all become highlighted…

So why do we have male & female bathrooms in the first place then …
Yes, why? A lot of spaces have unisex toilets, no problem at all

Good question.
An important, non-rhetorical question that’s worth answering.

Because men are rapists.
So instead of taking it out on everybody else, just address that actual issue.
