Reported today “Woman pushed into station toilet by man who demanded sex - West Midlands Detectives continuing to investigate a serious incident at Solihull station in the West Midlands are today releasing CCTV images in connection.

On Tuesday 10 March between 12.20pm and 12.30pm, a woman entered the ladies toilets on platform one at Solihull station.

A man followed her into the toilets and pushed her from behind into one of the cubicles.

He grabbed her and demanded sex. Thankfully the woman was able to fight back, and the man left the toilet when she threatened to call the police.”

Does this help or hinder the case for single-sex toilets?

It was a “ladies “ toilet and that didn’t stop him going in.

For clarity, I am in favour of single sex toilets.

It’s like saying restaurants and businesses should not have “staff only” spaces because a robber entered one and tried to rob the place or a disgruntled customer tried to stab the chef. Not relevant.

To my mind, it doesn’t hinder the case for single sex toilets. It’s completely irrelevant. Criminals don’t care about single sex spaces.
Women and girls have been assaulted, raped, even murdered by men in ladies toilets for generations.

Tells you men prey on women. So women need spaces without men. If men invade these spaces deliberately it’s an early clue they are a danger - as in this case.
