to think this toilet system is totally unfair?

[QoFE]

The toilets at the glorified garage service station we've just stopped at .... one for men, one for women (ie there are literally only two toilets not two sets of toilet cubicles. Two small rooms each with a toilet).

So far so standard, but the one men's toilet is just a men's toilet. The one women's toilet is also the disabled toilet, the baby change facility, and apparently also the toilet-for-men-who-try-the-men's-and-find-it-locked (and yes I'm aware of invisible disabilities however given the smirk and wink he gave to me as I approached the door I think he just felt like saving a few minutes).

Why can't the men's toilet host the baby change or the disabled toilet? Why is it almost always the women's toilet that has to triple up and host every additional facility, meaning longer queues for women who already tend to take longer due to clothing/dealing with periods etc. Why??

If there is no separate disabled toilet I would rather it was the women's rather than men's because women are less likely to piss on the floor and so I am less likely to have to lie my son in it when I have to change him on the floor.

I am more annoyed that disabled loos are generally being made into accessible for all. If you think one toilet in a services garage is bad this is becoming the reality for disabled users in many areas.

Perhaps it's because if you're a crutch-user, or otherwise unsteady on your feet, the last thing you want is a urine-covered floor to negotiate? (Some places also put showers in disabled toilets, which is a fucking mad idea for this reason.)

No reason why men can't use a loo with a bin full of sanitary towels/nappies in it. They do in houses.

Don't get me started on men going into disabled toilets and family / baby change toilets for a shit. They seem to like the space and the privacy. They leave them in a bloody horrendous state.

I would prefer the baby changing in the ladies loos. Mens toilets are disgusting and stink of piss.

If there is no separate disabled toilet I would rather it was the women's rather than men's because women are less likely to piss on the floor and so I am less likely to have to lie my son in it when I have to change him on the floor.

Are disabled men also less likely to piss on the floor? I mean, not all disabilities mean that person is in a wheelchair.

I understand where you are coming from, but realistically, making women's toilets unisex results in there being piss on the floor in both toilets.

Cleaning the disabled loo more often would be a solution.

Or, if there's only two toilets anyway, there could be a disabled toilet and one for people who intend to piss on the floor.

How horrible! Could you imagine being married to these slobs. Yes, I find men's stink!

Having said that with all this gender this and that it might just be easier to make the whole lot unisex - would be horrible though!

My husband says men make more of an effort in people's houses. He says even if you're being really careful, you do just get spray. It's less a case of not peeing on the floor, and more a case of wiping up afterwards.
He's like, public toilets are so rank anyway, there isn't much point bothering.

Better than the fucking hell hole of a service station we went to today. A queue going out of the door for the women's and men's, and a separate queue outside the 2 disabled toilets, of families going in 4 or 5 at a time. One woman and her son pushed in front of ds and I, saying 'he left his crutches in the car' (pardon?!)......after a 10 minute wait we finally got in, only to then have a bloke bang on the door shouting, 'there are people waiting out here!', really sir, I hadn't noticed....arsehole. Plus the whole room was a swimming pool of acrid piss.
