So is there nudity in your bathrooms with genitals a’flyin or do you mean “people in their underwear”? And why are there 7 and 8 year olds in your work bathrooms? Do you work at an elementary school? Hell even elementary schools have adults-only bathrooms.
Are you afraid for your own safety and comfort or that of others?
A) A man hanging out in his boxers in the ladies’ room is gonna have a verrrrrrrrry hard time explaining himself without getting kicked out and possibly arrested because…
B) Ladies’ rooms don’t have urinals, because…
C) Women go into stalls with doors closed to do their business, and the fact that your wife pees *at home *with the door open does not change the fact that every woman in this thread agrees that we close the stall door in a public bathroom, and since…
D) Transwomen are women so they’d do as women do, since I’d assume the last thing they’d want is for someone to have a reason to pay extra attention to them in what’s already an awkward place, and furthermore…
E) I can’t say that no transwomen ever wear boxers, but I’d think they’re more likely to wear either women’s underwear or some kind of undergarment that helps with “tucking,” so even in the unlikely event that she was parading around in her skivvies there wouldn’t be any kind of frontal opening at a child’s eye level.
So it’s not about the children, it’s not worry about women being harassed by pervy cis-men, it’s not about unwanted homosexual advances. All it really is is “Change hard. Me no like change. Different people mean change. Me make every excuse to no make change.”
Speaking as a woman, I’m not quite getting this. Is this a fear of penis? I don’t find penises particularly scary. Sometimes ridiculous, but not scary. Now, the owner of the penis might scary, but that would be true whether his wang in wagging in the breeze or not. Certainly a penis performing the perfectly normal function of pissing isn’t worrisome because, well, natural function.
And who are these women who are staring at men pissing at a urinal anyway? Isn’t that considered rude? Is this another case of men making assumptions about what women think, or am I an outlier?
Well I walked in on a circle-jerk today in the restroom. There was some oafish-looking white dude seeming to lead the 'jerk. He kept saying he could beat anyone, as he normally maintains his erections for days at a time. I couldn’t leave fast enough.
So there is one data point, at least. Pervs do hang out in public restrooms.
Oh yea, I was vacationing in Massachusetts at the time. Maybe they’re just weird up there.
I’m familiar with the sweet science of pugilism, but the rest of this paragraph makes no damn sense at all. Obviously no child should see fisticuffs in a restroom.
Having shared a public bathroom with a trans person before surgery, there were no dress schlongs on display. We all behaved like adults who sit down to pee. We sat down, in our separate cubicles to pee and pulled our panties (and trousers) back up before exiting our little private cubicles.
Note that this was 20 years ago. The trans person actually requested that we know she was supposed to start using the women’s room. We all agreed that it was okay.
Yes, kids used the bathroom too. Women get to sometimes see penises on display in the women’s room but they are the penises of babies being changed or toddlers who don’t know better. I’ve never seen an adult displaying uglies in the women’s room ever.
Uglies? It’s that bad, huh?
I’d venture that kids don’t want to look at hairy dicks, regardless of restroom. Which is no problem, because no one looks at hairy dicks in the restroom.
Except Republican senators.
Boxers remove all their clothing before engaging in a knife fight to defend children. Duh…
Let’s see. Aceplace is worried about pervs in bathrooms. So worried that his imagination takes him to children! At eye-level with boxer shorts! Potentially viewing penises! Children!
I think we’ve found the perv in the bathroom.
Thank you for expressing this.
We had unisex bathrooms in college, including urinals, stalls, and showers. No one had the slightest difficulty with it. You really don’t see much when a guy is using a urinal, and yeah, it’s kind of bad manners to really stare. Not that most women care much about an accidental glimpse of a penis. Most of us have seen them before, you know.
Not that it matters; if a transwoman comes into a woman’s bathroom, there won’t be any urinals.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Give me a break. Of course I’m aware of a kids eyeline. I raised two of them. You gotta be careful to put on a robe late at night or very early in the morning.
I guess this is an issue we’ll have to agree to disagree. I’m not comfortable with guys in the women’s bathroom. Even if they do insist on calling themselves women. That may change in a few years after this alternative lifestyle gets more common. I sure as heck won’t be bullied into thinking otherwise right now.
You think differently. We’re both entitled to our own opinions and we should respect others that don’t agree with us. I see some valid points in this discussion and maybe in a few years I’ll agree with you.
How often are you in the women’s restroom that a guy being in there is going to discomfit you?
As a dude, I have seen exactly one penis in a public restroom, and it was an accident because someone was breaking the “rules” about talking while being forced to use the adjacent urinal, and I naturally turned to look. And I remember how horribly awkward it was that it happened.
That’s with urinals. You don’t see anything in the stalls.
No but you see, women walk around the restrooms with their vags unclothed and if there is a person with a penis in there as well, he may trip and fall in.
Hey ace, how about *you *answer the question of the OP. Would you want someone who looked like Buck Angel using the men’s or women’s room?
Is anyone concerned that they’ll now start putting urinals in women’s restrooms? Because from here, and my own not-being-terrified-if-I-did-glimpse-a-penis belief system, I rate the likelihood of that happening at about a -87. However, I doubt seriously if any rationale will ever dissuade people like that. They’ve never met a transperson and they pray to God that they never will. Why would they even want to be disabused of their silly bigoted notions?
Well, since YOU won’t be using the women’s bathroom, then it’s really not your problem, is it?
I don’t have to respect jackshit. Especially since most of your so-called “opinions” are based on outright ignorance.
Not to defend ace, but I assume he’s referring to boxer shorts. Of course, why HE would be in the lady’s room makes no sense.
Also, if they did, I’m pretty sure I could carry on the male honored tradition of not leaning in, peering closely at it and pulling out a ruler and dispensing with a critique. What about you guys?
