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

It's grown women putting their wishes above that of young children.

No young girl should have to go into a adult male toliet if she doesn't want to.

It's a wise mum that doesn't let her young pboy go into a male tolet in his own and brings him to the ladies instead.

Shocked that so many grown put their own needs above that of a child.

The women in the toilet don’t know who this man is . He is a strange man and that’s that . Adult men should never ever be in female only spaces .

So much of this would be solved in about two hours if venues would just design men's bathrooms like a sensible person - either put the cubicles first so you have to walk past them to get to the out-of-sight urinals, or put saloon doors around the urinals. I have never understood this tbh!

It doesn't make sense to me and seems to be coming out of an American movement online. You don't want you daughter around men in toilets so you a man go into the women's toilets where other people's daughters are

"Parenting in the most appropriate toilet"? Lol.
By that logic, that would be mean a little girl is safest in the women's toilet instead of going into the gents, with multiple men pissing at the urinals for instance.

But what do you think is going to happen in the men’s toilet, if Dad is in there too? Surely you’d use the cubicle so it’s not like you’re hanging out in the men’s for ages?

Nosy toilet user?

its a women,s space. He doesn't belong there.

Men should take their daughters in to the men’s loos if their daughter is not old enough to go in the ladies alone. Cover their eyes if they feel they have to, or have a quick look in before going in with the child to make sure no bloke is stood there with his pants round his ankles, which wouldn’t be appropriate for a boy child either 🤷‍♀️

So the little girl should pee within ear shot of half a dozen strange men, after having to walk past them while they are partially undressed with their genitalia outside their clothing?

Make it make sense. How is this nothing, but an adult woman seeing a fully clothed dad helping a little girl some kind of horror show?

We have two girls. My husband takes them into the disabled toilets.

Why on earth would you think that was “morally wrong”? He certainly wouldn’t take them into the women’s.

Yup. Exactly . I went to the men’s changing rooms every week as a child with my dad. Didn’t knock a fidge out of me. Was completely unfazed and unbothered by it , as was my sister .

When I was very little, I am going to guess about five, my dad took my brother and I swimming and used the men's changing rooms, and I saw an adult stranger's penis. It actually did quite disturb and upset me for a while. I am obviously fine now, but it wasn't nice at the time (and we are a family who are fairly comfortable with nudity, so I had glimpsed brother and dad naked before and understood men had different bodies).

Because of the nature of men's toilets, with urinals, I don't think it's OK to take little girls in there and risk them being exposed to full frontal male nudity. It's OK if the gents is cubicle only - that's different.

I also agree that guys shouldn't be in the women's toilets unless there is absolutely no alternative.

Therefore the least worst outcome in this situation is to use the disabled loo (I understand the objections to this, but there is no ideal solution sometimes) . Obviously in many cases this doubles as a family room so that's it's exact purpose! Even when it doesn't, I think using it is the least worst option.

And demand more safe, gender neutral toilets and changing spaces, to acknowledge the fact that dads have daughters, women have sons, people have opposite sex partners who require assistance with toileting, etc etc.

Children up to about 8 go into the toilet their parent would normally use with them. Or a family room if one is available.

Disabled toilet should only be used if one of the people using the toilet has a disability.
