I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. Eddie Izzard is on Joe Rogan saying ALL bathrooms should be gender neutral and completely dismissed the concerns women have that Joe brought up. He dismissed it as “people always complain when there’s change”

The whole thing is so selfish and entitled.

He looks a mess. He looks like something that would be right at home sitting in the corner of the Rovers Return with Enid Sharples and Hilda Ogden.

More and more he looks like someone who would be right at home with Hayden and Harrop.

I'm another who used to quite like him (despite the hint of smug that has always been there) but over the past couple of years his head has disappeared up his own arse.

Away off and have a poo and a chat with the men Eddie. Of which you are one.

I think many men would find it quite horrific to have to share public toilets with women, apart from the places, such as aeroplanes or small cafes where we’ve come to expect that.
They’re private places where men and women want some privacy, safety and outmoded word, dignity!
Eddie Izzard comes over in the YouTube clip as somebody who hasn’t thought very deeply about the subject. He is also, although he likes the female identity, someone who has not, and will never have to face the more difficult aspects of being a woman.
I’m for gender neutral facilities but only in addition to the current men’s and women’s toilets. That leaves everybody with a bit of dignity.

Ah yes, eddie izzard. The bastion of social etiquette. 🙄

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 05/05/2019 14:02

Dh was horrified when i made a comment about men chatting at the urinals

Apparently that doesnt happen

Puts a whole new meaning on the phrase 'chatting shit' I suppose

AtrociousCircumstance · 05/05/2019 14:06

Self absorbed entitled fool, mansplaining away the real concerns of women.

ScottishDoll · 05/05/2019 14:07

Just another man insistently mansplaining womanhood to women. How can these egotistical dictators be so incredibly self unaware?

Men have no idea what it is to be a woman because they are men.

RubberTreePlant · 05/05/2019 14:08

What a disappointment he has turned out to be!

Crinkle77 · 05/05/2019 14:08

larrygraysonsdoor I work in a university library and members of the public are allowed to come on to campus and use the library, sports facilities, arts centre etc.... So potentially yes any member of the public can just come in.

The Woke-Blind.

Crinkle77 · 05/05/2019 14:10

Forgot to add that staff students and visitors all use the same toilets. There are no separate facilities for staff.

His carefully scripted ‘improvisations’ never convinced me he was anything other than a Robin Williams wannabe.

He does quite a good James Mason impression but that’s probably because Mason played a series of creepy old men in his later years.

LinoleumBlownapart · 05/05/2019 14:55

Women have miscarriages or occasionally babies in public loos. Many teenagers start their periods when they're out and about.

Unfortunately I think women bleeding and distressed gives some twisted men their jollies. So the more we shout about it the more desperate these men become in their fight for access. It's probably their ultimate fantasy.

I used to love him. Genuinely love him.

Me too. He's shown, however, that his male entitlement is more important than any woman's or girl's privacy, safety or feelings.

Missingstreetlife · 05/05/2019 15:02

Why doesn't he shut up until he's at least thought about it. Fool.

VickyEadie · 05/05/2019 15:05

I have a list of men whom I shall never forgive for their betrayal of women. Izzard is near to the top of it.

Oh YES.

AlwaysComingHome · 05/05/2019 15:05

The fact Brexit supporters used pictures of Izzard in lippy and a pink beret to undermine the Remainers case might have clued him into the fact he’s a laughing stock.

TheInebriati · 05/05/2019 15:08

I was on Twitter earlier and its full of male rights activists shouting for mixed sex everything in the name of 'equality'. They all sound the same, whether they are extreme right wing ''christians'' or woke bros.
Come on to Mumsnet for a quick 5 mins and heres Eddie saying exactly the same thing Angry

Current mood; Fuck off men. Just right fuck off and do your own thing and leave us alone.

JQBased · 05/05/2019 15:08

All these creeps come out of the woodwork when it's safe to and the world is making it safe for them to air such destructive views. I don't know whether or not I am more angry with him or more angry with the normalisation of this behaviour that says endangering women and girls is necessary for the gratification of certain men's psychological mishap at best and at worse, the gratification of rapists and perverts taking full advantage of the allowed situation.

JQBased · 05/05/2019 15:10

They all sound the same, whether they are extreme right wing ''christians'' or woke bros.

Neither right wing not Christians would or are to my knowledge calling for mixed sex toilets, quite the opposite. The men mostly going to the extreme with so called equality are mostly left wing types!

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 05/05/2019 15:11

I wonder where the 20 something Eddie would have gone to change from women's clothes back to men's clothes if there are no women's toilets to hide in? Didn't he say used the women's to avoid confrontation from men?

Mixed loos wouldn't have helped eddie. Maybe I'm wrong and that's not why he used the women's toilets.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 05/05/2019 15:11

I used to like Eddie Izzard. No more. He made an utter twat of himself on Question Time before the referendum and frankly he deserved his mincemeating by Nigel Farage.
