Tried three places for lunch today and none cater for women

I went out for lunch today with a friend.
Well, at least we tried to have lunch.
All three places, two pubs and one cafe, were not suitable for women because you needed a penis to get into them or to use the toilet.
We ended up coming back to my home instead.

AIBU to think that everywhere should offer equal service to women?
Or is it my fault for not checking in advance that I could eat there without a penis?
Should I have researched on tripadvisor?
Am I too entitled expecting businesses to ensure non penis having people can pay to eat lunch at their establishment?

Day in the life of a disabled person.

I honestly thought it was clear enough but replace not catering for women with not catering for disabled people.
I substituted women to try and give some insight into the injustice to a wider audience.

Did you go for lunch in the 1800’s?

Is this one of those odd threads about shared toilets?

Must be

Is this about places being inaccessible to women? Or inaccessible to disabled people?

Your title says women. Your post says women and not having a penis. Then you end saying it’s because you’re disabled. Being a woman isn’t a disability, so what is this actually about?

I’m sorry for your day, but I’m a bit confused. You went for lunch and were denied entry as all 3 places you tried were male only? Are there many male only places left these days? Even the Garrick is mixed now

Don't you keep a penis in your handbag for these occasions?

TheNightingalesStarling · 22/09/2025 20:13

I think I've got it... everywhere was wheelchair inaccessible and you were using sex as an analogy?

If so... yanbu.

What is happening here? Did I miss a paragraph?

I'm confused

Eh?

MyAcornWood · 22/09/2025 20:11

You what? I feel like I’m missing something 😅

Springadorable · 22/09/2025 20:11

What are you on about?

Bobiverse · 22/09/2025 20:11

You’re going to have to actually explain where you tried to eat and why they were men only. Were they private clubs?
