Will someone please explain this to me? I went to use the restroom at a local restaurant today. I followed the arrow down a hallway. There were 2 doors with printed signs on them, One says "MEN". The other says "EVERYONE".
Tell me why I'm furious 3 hours later.
Just so tired

It’s the toilet equivalent of a map of society really.

IKeepFlouncing · 21/10/2018 03:14

Go back with your Sharpie as obviously they forgot the WO on men sign

AspieAndProud · 21/10/2018 05:41

Shouldn’t it be ANYONE?

It’s going to get very packed if we all try to fit in there.

ohello · 21/10/2018 06:52

If you go back, change it around. ie, one marked 'women' and the other one marked "'everybody else' Grin

paffuto · 21/10/2018 07:09

Glad to see the men are catered for. That's all that's important after all??!! No wonder you're furious. Hope you're going to boycott the restaurant and tell friends and family to do the same.

HopeGarden · 21/10/2018 07:14

So men get to have a restroom to themselves, while women have to share with whoever fancies it.

Fantastic if you’re a man, isn’t it?

Hmm
StarsAndWater · 21/10/2018 07:16

Did you take a photo? This is exactly the kind of shit that I'd like to share to demonstrate what the problem is.
Men get their own toilets and privacy from the opposite sex if they want it. Women don't.

Juells · 21/10/2018 07:23

Go back, take a photo, and upload to their fb page. People (women!) need to know in advance what they'll be faced with if they need the loo. I wouldn't dream of going to a restaurant where I had to use an 'everyone' toilet.

It's the wokeness that's so offensive. I was in a cafe a week or so ago and there was just one toilet, which was lovely - large room with toilet and sink, nice flowers in a vase, all very pleasant.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 21/10/2018 08:04

I went to a venue that had two loos. One labelled urinals and one labelled cubicles. So men had two loos while women had to share with men who needed a dump.

I said to the barmaid that it didn't seem fair that men had a choice of two loos, but she only looked at me blankly.

XXcstatic · 21/10/2018 08:08

Please challenge this, OP. They get away with it - even though 95% of women (at least) hate it - because women don't complain.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 21/10/2018 08:15

As if the queues for the ladies' aren't long enough!

I was in some unisex loos the other day which I though was a great example of how to do it right. The queueing/waiting area was open and visible to the bar - so safe. There were three cubicles with full length doors - and no urinals. So everyone had to queue and use the cubicles. The grousing and complaining from the men unused to such things was only drowned out by the number of women laughing about it. 

So I decided I don't mind unisex loos, provided they're designed safely and without urinals. Otherwise men will continue to be in and out while women, transwomen, and transmen all queue for a cubicle. If we have to wait, so should they!

I went to a restaurant the other day that had two floor-to-ceiling cubicles, both marked MF. Identical, reasonably pleasant, although strongly perfumed. I figured it was ok, though not my preference. Naturally both toilet seats were covered in piss. And it was only early lunchtime, barely 1pm. I was glad my daughter didn't need to go, bad enough I had to clean up.

The cubicle I used was left with both Man Friday and FPFW leaflets.

GulagsMyArse · 21/10/2018 09:10

Men get their own catagory and women no longer exist.

AtrociousCircumstance · 21/10/2018 10:06

Fucking sexist bullshit.

Never go there again. Fuck them.

AtrociousCircumstance · 21/10/2018 10:13

Actually please name and shame them. Let us know who to boycott.

Juells · 21/10/2018 10:21

We need to know the name of the restaurant 😅

Did you see the photo of that oh-so-woke cafe in Deptford? Evidently 'TERFS not welcome here' signs are springing up in all sorts of places. They might as well say "We don't serve women".

nicenewdusters · 21/10/2018 19:48

I also think it would be good to name and shame. How about a Trip Advisor review as well ?

Knicknackpaddyflak · 21/10/2018 19:59

Surely 'Terfs not welcome here' has crossed the line legally? I mean I know our police force are so woke they're hallucinating, but there is still law in this country. What if this said 'catholics not welcome here' or 'Labour voters not welcome here'?

What the actual fuck has been allowed to happen in this country?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/10/2018 20:04

They might as well say "We don't serve women".

Or 'we don't serve lesbians'. Since MERELY having a sexual orientation towards biological females is enough to get you called a terf.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/10/2018 20:06

If I see one of these signs in RL I will be reporting it as a homophobic hate crime.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 21/10/2018 20:25

I'll be asking for the attention of all the women in the room and explaining what 'terf' means, and that basically the place doesn't want women in the room who has any questions about sharing a loo, communal changing room, hospital ward, prison etc with someone with a beard and a rap sheet of convicted sexual offences, and doesn't at all times put the wishes of men first.

gendercritter · 21/10/2018 20:29

If all these woke people knew their history and how women have been treated in the past, they would be so ashamed.

I have a Baedecker travel guide from around 1900. In every section advising restaurant/clubs etc in the cities it actually makes note of the ones you can't enter if you're female.

People have no idea. Women have not been able to participate fully in society for most of history.

PotteryGirl · 21/10/2018 20:34

Name and shame.

Budgieinaberet · 21/10/2018 20:38

Absolutely name and shame

Snowfluke · 21/10/2018 20:45

There HAVE to be better solutions to this.

However, I do understand that what they're effectively saying is that one area has open urinals and one is just cubicles.

Also, I think one can't complain about queues whilst simultaneously calling for the removal of urinals. ... I'd be interested to know how many MtFs would be willing to hoist their skirts to have a stand-up widdle though (using their female penis obvs) Grin
