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

No you didn't read the initial post that referred to disabled toilet not being available. Have another look.

The Pope is treated by some as above everyone else - is he spoiled pet?

@Duckduckgander so you hear I am from Ireland and you try and get a discriminatory rascist little dig in about “my religion” in even though I’m not actually catholic over a discussion about toilets . It’s laughable how ignorant you are .

I feel like this wonderfully ironic post bears quoting given a certain posters behaviour and continued personal attacks.

I'd stop before you get whacked with the ban hammer.

So you think it’s fine for someone to bring the pope into a discussion about toilets because I am Irish and they assumed I was Catholic and wanted to get a dig in ? Yeh grand whatever .

Because the Pope is the most identifiable human that is put on a pedestal above all others that I could think of and cos I'd happily put money on it he has his own toilet wherever he goes. So not a racist pet.

I was in a toilet and there was a mother outside the loo as he son was using it. Thoughts? I felt a bit uncomfortable, he was about 8

Why isn't the disabled toilet available? If this was a frequent occurrence I'd make sure she always had a female carer with her.

We have a disabled relative, I'm very aware of the challenges faced and however we do that other people must always be considered too.

Men should not be in the ladies toilets.

It's not just the case the disabled toilet isn't available, in some older smaller buildings there isn't a disabled toilet. 99% of the time she does have a female carer, me. The only other people that take her out are my parents. My mum is also disabled and wouldn't be able to take her to the toilet.

But why should people have to lay out their whole personal details just so people came weigh up whether they think the person's situation merits an exemption to the perceived rule.

How won't the child be safe accompanying the parent to the parent's sex toilet? As I said, this way no sexually aware adults are in the opposite sex loos with each other.

It isn't easy I know. However there are always accessible toilets available, carers just need to play their day and route.

It isn't that anyone needs to lay out their circumstances to merit any exemption to anything, the option shouldn't ever be for a man to go into the ladies.

Well currently the law and 50% of the mumsnet voters say otherwise..

YABU.

What's the worst thing that could happen?

Dads go places at the weekend and at other tines too, with their young daughters. Unless a venue has a 'Family' loo separate from the men's or the women's, it's a far better idea to take a little girl to the women's loos than the men's.

Where I live, dads usually announce 'Girl dad coming through' when they enter the women's loos and nobody bats an eyelid.

Are the women and girls innthe women's loo prancing around naked, or are they simply going about their business and getting out as quickly as they can?

All the women's loos I've ever been into have women and girls in the same state of dress that they would be elsewhere in the building, and unless you want to bring in sex segregated cinemas, churches, shopping centres, public transport, etc, men who want to are going to be free to eye up women or girls (or other men or boys) to their hearts' content.

Women are sometimes drying off clothing that has had to be washed. I rather regularly see women drying off shirts, sometimes the shirt is off and they are in a bra.

I also spent a couple of years with a pram or stroller jammed in the open door with groceries as I had to walk home. Plus I have also had to take my elderly mother in wheelchair into the female toilets when an accessible one was not available. I had the wheelchair in the door because I could not let go of her to move it.

Female people do have situations where they need the communal area of the toilets to be female only or only with small boys.

So why can’t they do that in the men’s? Are you saying mums should take little boys into the men’s? If not, why not?
