Eddy Izzard says women should be forced to share bathrooms with men

Forgot to add that staff students and visitors all use the same toilets. There are no separate facilities for staff.

The Woke-Blind.

larrygraysonsdoor I work in a university library and members of the public are allowed to come on to campus and use the library, sports facilities, arts centre etc.... So potentially yes any member of the public can just come in.

What a disappointment he has turned out to be!

Just another man insistently mansplaining womanhood to women. How can these egotistical dictators be so incredibly self unaware?

Men have no idea what it is to be a woman because they are men.

Self absorbed entitled fool, mansplaining away the real concerns of women.

Dh was horrified when i made a comment about men chatting at the urinals

Apparently that doesnt happen

Puts a whole new meaning on the phrase 'chatting shit' I suppose

Ah yes, eddie izzard. The bastion of social etiquette. 🙄

I think many men would find it quite horrific to have to share public toilets with women, apart from the places, such as aeroplanes or small cafes where we’ve come to expect that.
They’re private places where men and women want some privacy, safety and outmoded word, dignity!
Eddie Izzard comes over in the YouTube clip as somebody who hasn’t thought very deeply about the subject. He is also, although he likes the female identity, someone who has not, and will never have to face the more difficult aspects of being a woman.
I’m for gender neutral facilities but only in addition to the current men’s and women’s toilets. That leaves everybody with a bit of dignity.

I'm another who used to quite like him (despite the hint of smug that has always been there) but over the past couple of years his head has disappeared up his own arse.

Away off and have a poo and a chat with the men Eddie. Of which you are one.

He looks a mess. He looks like something that would be right at home sitting in the corner of the Rovers Return with Enid Sharples and Hilda Ogden.

More and more he looks like someone who would be right at home with Hayden and Harrop.

Another one who used to LOVE him and now wishes he'd fuck off

I used to love Eddie Izzard. He was funny, intelligent, kind and genuinely happy to be a gender nonconforming man.

These days he's just your standard middle aged pervy bloke.

Izzard is yet another in a looooong line of sanctimonious privileged white males who things that the opinions they fart out have relevance. They don't.

Eddie, women's rights belong to women. They do not belong to you or your colonising brethren to be amended or given away to any male who demands them.

Now fuck off, there's a good chap.

Being hassled with unwanted sexual attention from a creepy man.

Polite female 'Excuse me, I just need to pop to the ladies'

Creepy man 'Yeah, me too, lets go together'

they are public toilets

Your work toilets are public toilets? Ones that any random passing member of the public can use?

I admit they do sound great, and in principle I like the idea, but it rather depends on the space they serve.

And it's women who clean up men's piss.

Fuck off Eddie. Out of our toilets, out of politics. Hateful man

"My husband is also not interested in talking to strangers while he goes to the toilet, especially women and that includes me. Our society has evolved to do certain things in private and in sex separated spaces. Change is not needed."

I couldn't agree more, and I think the vast majority of folk think this way as well.
The media is trotting out all these fringe characters, atypical people, to dictate to us, the majority what should be acceptable.
It is not acceptable and never will be, and when you examine this behaviour, it isn't so far removed from a certain "mrballwaxer".

Tool. Used to like him - not his rights to give away.

Well, fortunately women’s rights are not his to give away,

So he can fuck off.

What about these toilets that have notices telling women that if they are being harassed etc they can say “X word” to the bar staff, who will get help and keep them safe.

And the toilets in my local A and E where there are signs telling women that if they are being abused then they can use the phone in there to call someone who will help. Sometimes the women's toilets are the only place a woman is away from her abuser.

I get the feeling that some men think that women all hang around in toilets chatting while touching up their make up.

How does that work if men can go into the ladies and find out the code word?

And where do we take our drinks?

If I was killing time between shifts or waiting for a friend and it wasnt worth going home after work I would sit on my own in a pub for a bit.

Naturally I would take my drink to the toilet with me maybe place it on a windowsill or something.

Now what do women do?
