Presented with just one comment. I had to fly from Scotland to London last week. Bit bleary and unfamiliar with Luton. Inadvertently opened the door to the men's, I was met with horror so backed out, no bother.

Into the women's. Where a man was coming out of a cubicle, short hair, no make-up, t shirt and jeans, beard. Perfectly pleasant but completely unchallenged by anyone including the male attendant.

I think I've been really sheltered in the highlands.

No thank you.

I think I'd have walked back into the Mens, and said sorry, but there's blokes in the Ladies loo too.

No thank you indeed.

Did you speak to the male attendant OP?

Now imagine that late at night, no attendant, alone. Fucking terrifying

Exactly. There is no care or consideration for women and girls here.

Men's feelings matter - no matter which way you look at it.

Women's don't.

The reaction of the men when you went into their space says it all, doesn't it? The set up of public toilets in the future will be -

  1. Men's toilets
  2. Unisex toilets
  3. Accessible toilets for those with a disability.

So men get to keep their space. We don't. Unsurprising.

Welcome to the world where women have to shut up and move over so men can infiltrate all our private and safe spaces.
