World Toilet Day - gender neutral loos

I saw this on Twitter

twitter.com/hashtag/CivilDisoPEEdiance

It's World Toilet Day and it looks like some women have been out stickering mixed sex (sorry, "gender neutral" Hmm) loos. Good for them!

I'm so fed up with our rights being given away and people just shrugging and not seeing the issue. (Not you lot obvs!)

If single cubicles are so great, why aren't they putting them in the men's and leaving our loos alone? Or does it just not matter that including everyone in our spaces means many women are excluded? Obviously not Angry

Fair Play for Women also:

My daughter doesn’t want to share toilets at school with boys. What can I do?

Have fun, ShesDressedInBlackAgain Halloween Grin

(I know it's not Halloween anymore but a witchy hat seems kinda appropriate!)

What the hell is so wrong with a third space? And why, if there must be mixed sex facilities, do they always encroach into the bloody women's, while the anointed men's remains unassailed and intact?

Sick, sick, sick of constantly being expected to shut up like a good little girl and move over for men.

Thought this blog was a really powerful argument for single sex loos when I read it.

Fantastic stickers! International Mens' Day and World Toilet Day on the same day? Coincidence, no?

Hullabalooo · 19/11/2019 13:31

Just had to wait outside a Gender Neutral toilet while some posey wealthy looking bloke stood with the door open faffing with his hair and chatting on his mobile, leaving seat up and not washing his hands.

Really cross! This loo is next to a women's centre for women who've experienced domestic violence. Really stressful when you actually need some single sex space to go to!

Hullabalooo · 19/11/2019 13:32

Well done OP. Great to being people's attention to this subject!

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 19/11/2019 13:36

Thanks to the other MNer who got me off my lazy arse to do it.

Care to pop in and take a bow? Grin

traceyracer · 19/11/2019 14:59

No piss on the seat? Have none of you ever heard of squatting?

Yo yo just here to give you lot a bump up the Adult Human Female scale of forum algorithms 😉

EmpressLesbianInChair · 19/11/2019 19:57

The more bumps the better! ShesDressed and I had a very productive afternoon.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 19/11/2019 19:59

And a nice sandwich afterwards.

Food and radical feminism. Excellent bedfellows.

JuanaLaLoca · 19/11/2019 20:02

Thanks for this. From a Cornwall Resister. Come on, wimms, let's keep the comments going. :-)

The sticker templates are going to be useful for the future as well.

My friend has a really unnerving experience in a mixed-sex toilet facility in Liverpool recently, somewhere in the docklands area. She was really upset and intimidated by it all and suddenly 'got' what I'd been explaining to her for ages. When she came out of the cubicle, there were a couple of men hanging around and she said that they both stared at her while she washed her hands as quickly as possible and laughed when she hurried away in fear.
Bloody awful.
Men always hold the power in any mixed-sex facility. Nobody gives a damn about women and women's rights. How and when did we become so powerless?

Hullabalooo · 19/11/2019 22:17

Loving this thread! Great stickering and pleased to see women pulling together nationally on this action.

We bloody need our own toilets. Literally!

Hullabalooo · 19/11/2019 22:18

I hit a rich seam of Costa coffee outfits today all in need of some decoration 😁

Well done.

Yes to stickers and no to dickers.

Newuser123123 · 20/11/2019 17:17

Probably a really stupid question but wouldn't one female, one unisex toilet solve the issue?
