I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. Eddie Izzard is on Joe Rogan saying ALL bathrooms should be gender neutral and completely dismissed the concerns women have that Joe brought up. He dismissed it as “people always complain when there’s change”

The whole thing is so selfish and entitled.

We have gender neutral toilets at work but they are individual cubicles a bit like disabled toilets. They are completely enclosed so there are no gaps at the top and bottom so very private. They contain a sink and hand dryer and sanitary bin so there is no having to share a space with men. They are directly off the ground floor space and separated by a glass door so are visible from outside so they're not tucked away where you might feel intimidated by men being around. I like them because they are so private and no one can hear what you're doing. If done properly they can work.

I'm so disappointed in izzard

I was thinking recently about how most men just won't get why female-only toilets are so necessary.

We need them for (I have done all of these): avoiding men who are harassing us; comforting other women/girls who have been assulted by a man; dealing with heavy periods; breastfeeding when there is nowhere else to do it; taking a pregnancy test.

Not to mention the extra vulnerability when you're with toddlers/young children and couldn't escape danger quickly, plus the extra strength/size men have, plus a background culture that makes them feel entitled to whatever they want and to see women and girls as lesser and mainly for their pleasure/convenience.

Mixed sex toilets are an absolute nightmare, and the woke dudebros I know haven't a clue why.

What a cock end.

I always liked him in the past. I liked that he wore the clothes that he wanted and not what was dictated by society.
You can wear the clothes you want but not go in the spaces you want, twat.

I thought that all the evidence shows that shared bathrooms are dangerous for women and girls. Aren't the UN (UNICEF/UNHCR) fighting for a return to segregation?

He didnt make any sense at all Confused

Reduces bullying? Really? Is he talking about open plan toilets in general or mixed sex loos?

More likely girls just arent using the toilets.

How do Men feel having no urinals and standing in a line ?

Urinals make it quicker.

The answer is to make more womens toilets so they arent waiting so long. Not make everyone stand in line even longer than usual Hmm

what a prick, his penis is showing...

Please do not call this creature a tit or a cunt. Tits & cunts belong to women. They are useful things & serve a purpose. Humankind would not have survived without tits & cunts.

I’d also ask the last time Eddie izzard used a public toilet, one at a train station or a regular cinema etc. He doesn’t. He’s a millionaire white male film star.

Missingstreetlife · 05/05/2019 12:31

Bobbit, that's right. Great name! He's a complete cunt

I used to love him. Genuinely love him.

Death Star Canteen - brilliant.
"These are not a woman's clothes, these are my clothes. They are mine, I bought them" - brilliant

Ever since that stupid raspberry beret appeared - fucking eejit.

How can sex be a spectrum?. Confused
I was just talking about him on Friday. Admiration turned disgust.

RussellSprout · 05/05/2019 12:29

Whats to stop pervy men peeking over the top whilst a woman is doing her business?

The only way gender neutral toilets would be acceptable to me would be if there was a floor to ceiling door, that's the same as if you were on a train or similar.

A previously funny comedian shooting himself in the foot.

Piss of Eddy. You know nothing of being a woman.

bigbadbadger · 05/05/2019 12:28

He’s a multi millionaire white man who changes his politics, persona and ‘gender’ to suit his needs at that moment. One minute an oppressed trans woman, the next a debonair male hollywood star in a tuxedo. Always a total misogynist and a knob.

Re Miscarriage - I was in the public toilets in our local Tesco when it happened. It was distressing enough, I can't imagine how I would have felt with men around. Sad

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 05/05/2019 12:28

What he says shows he has no understanding of women and their wants/needs for safety and dignity.

Or he understands, but his desire to be with women and girls in toilets is more important to him.

OhioOhioOhio · 05/05/2019 12:28

Jessica is exactly right.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 05/05/2019 12:27

I told you he was an arse thread from 3 years ago

ILoveMaxiBondi · 05/05/2019 12:26

Man tells women to move over. Nothing new there. Feel free to ignore him.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 05/05/2019 12:24

When he says women, he means girls as well.

He thinks it's ok for men to be in toilets with girls.

LizzieSiddal · 05/05/2019 12:24

What right has this person got, to tell women what they need to do?
