Aibu feeling uneasy about men taking little girls to the toilet in the womens toilet?

I have no idea how this is even a debate. Men don't belong in female spaces. Young children can go with their parent into the toilets of the parent's gender.

I've never heard of a mum accompanying their son into the men's, why men feel able to free infringe on women's privacy I have no idea.

I honestly think any man looking for an excuse to pop into the ladies is someone to be concerned about.

No you don’t you safeguard your child as you see fit. If that’s a boy going in with his mum to the ladies or a dad going with his daughter into the ladies so be it. Simple as.

Surely it's worse to takes little girl past urinals into a foul male loo ?

It’s not “safeguarding “ at all. You are using the term completely incorrectly here . The dad is with the child that’s the safeguarding . I did not say anything at all about a child going in alone , wherever you got that idea from . It’s “safeguarding “ to big grown men out of women’s toilets . It’s the epitome of selfishness. Oh and a male child goes into the women’s with their mother , men’s with their father . Just as it should be . You go to the toilet of the sex of the parent you are with. Simple as

You think men turn around from a urinal and expose themselves to everyone in the room?

Do you watch a lot of videos of gay men on the internet?

But the man isnt in there to perv over women. He's in there taking his little girl to the toilet. In a cubicle, just like everyone else. Some men are single parents/ joint custody didnt you know?

And she will get a safe, private cubicle when her father takes her to the men's.

The young boys have rights as well.
In your logic, should fathers bring their boys to women's (to avoid going through men's), or mothers their boys to men's (because boys have rights too)?

Exactly this . I can understand a very young female not wanted to see a bunch of men with their dicks out peeing but can not understand why adult women get so worked up about someone of another gender being anywhere near them while they’re in a locked cubicle . Not sure how people rationalise that a ‘woman’s right to privacy ‘ is more important than a female child’s .

I don't see what's wrong with using the disabled toilet in these circumstances. But if that was unavailable for any reason then, on balance, I think it's better he takes her to the ladies than to the gents. Imagine if someone was using the urinals!

I am absolutely with you. I go into a toilet. Into a cubicle. Lock the door. Finish using the toilet. Leave cubicle and wash hands. There is nothing about this which gives me any concern about what anyone else is doing in the same environment especially not a man with a little girl. The world has gone mad.

I have 4 daughters. At no point EVER do I want them to have to be in a men's toilet literally exposed to mens genitals on show.
If there really is no other option how any woman could have an issue with a father bringing his small daughter into a female toilet rather than expose them to that is really beyond me.
For context- i have experienced rape so I can absolutely understand there will be some women that feel uncomfortable and that is really unfortunate but we need to protect children

I’ve been in the ladies when there has been a knock on the door and a Dad has shouted “Dad with a small daughter about to come in”.
He stuck his head around saw it was only me in there washing my hands and asked if I minded that he had tried the gents and they were disgusting and smelt and the little one was desperate.
I told him to come in and then I stood in the doorway to let anyone else about to come in that there was a bloke in there with his little girl.
They were in there for a few minutes and then dashed out, he was really apologetic to the couple of ladies that had chosen to wait outside but no one minded.
Hopefully more places move with the times and offer family toilets in the baby changing areas etc.
My 6 year old boy comes into the ladies with me if we’re out without his big brothers/Dad. No way am I sending him into the gents on his own at that age, and even now with my 11 year old I stand right outside the door.
