Mens loos remain untouched, womens loos made inclusive to everyone

First time I’ve seen this in real life! Visited an Arts fair in Battersea Park, held within a building called Evolution London, used to have mens and womens loos, now the womens have been made mixed sex whilst the mens remain just for men. I really don’t understand how anyone can think is a good idea, women need single sex provision for safety….where are women of certain Faiths meant to go?

Did anyone see this thread on twitter. Stonegate pubs another place to avoid.

And I used to go to gay clubs - never met a male in the loos (even male transvestites - as they were back then) used the mens bogs.

I remember doing that too. Must’ve been an 80s thing!

I started going in mens loos since I started going to gigs/clubs/theatre/cinema etc as a youngster in the 80’s. In protest about the lack of space afforded to women and we were expected to queue for the loo, then get ignored at the bar

Hold your nose and jump in. Anyone says anything, you know what what to say.

I’d barge into the gents for the hell of it. See how they like it.

I’m so fucking angry with this shit, I’m actually going to start doing this.

I think woman are going to have to start invading men's spaces (even though I am not sure I can bring myself to do it).

But I think its the only way to get the message across. Make the men uncomfortable and let EA will get tightened up.

Go in en masse. Point and giggle.

I keep thinking it must be direct sex discrimination to provide twice as much toilet provision for men than women (even before you get into which sex does the bulk of toilet trips with young children)

I agree, start using the men's toilets.

I know, this is so infuriating. I can’t think of a clearer sign that so many organisations and institutions don’t care about women at all, while trumpeting on about “diversity” they’re happy for women girls to be put in danger or have nowhere to go. This is exactly why redefining “woman” is so harmful- because if you complain you’re just told trans women are women, there’s no such thing as an actual female sex class, so there doesn’t need to be any provision for it.

I’m so angry about it all at the moment. 😡

It's fucking ridiculous. Humans are either male or female. Therfore splitting loos by sex is fine as both sexes are covered.

KittenKong · 09/10/2022 19:52

Because mens have urinals. Almost as if sex has a bearing of having a wee.

ConfusedNoMore · 09/10/2022 19:50

If you were going to make one toilet unisex, why would you pick the most vulnerable group? Logically it makes no sense why we're not seeing unisex and female toilets (except we know why).

Yuk. We used to go to school plays on there.

They need to be taken to court under the Equalities Act — provision of facilities.
