I don't know about swearing but if that piece of shit had said what they posted to my face they would have had a nice red handprint on their fucking cheek.

Boundaries are not about your own actions but about how other people treat you. I do not want people with penises in public lavatories with my eleven year old grand-daughter. That is a boundary of mine which I expect other people not to cross.

I used to cycle to work and had to change into my work clothes in the toilets. Sometimes I needed to freshen up.

I’m not staying in a cubicle and using bog water for that thanks.

I have regularly changed in female toilets. Now and historically, most of the time I had no choice because I am too far away from home to 'just nip home and change'. I have had to change my young child in a female toilet as well, just as my mother did for me and my siblings.

I agree. I am not about to change clothes in a cubicle with a wet floor.

Honestly, the lack of understanding about usage of female toilets is mind blowing.

minus mind blowing

plus typical of men in general

I agree dean. It seems more often the case or not that it is a male poster who breezily declares that female people don’t use the toilet for anything other than urination and defecation.

It got me thinking about gaggles of girls coming together in toilets - breaking up, making up, gearing up. It all happens in that space and I find it completely fascinating.

Yeah, not just a place to wee and defecate which is why men who think they are women want in there, can't have women having something that excludes them.

Yes! No wonder men want to be in there with all that fun going on. It’s a wet dream. It’s a wonder we ever come out of the women’s loos, sounds like The Place To Be. “All the rage!” as my Mum used to say.

(I do love the photos though.)

And that's the difference isn't it? Women do not have the experience of the sexual thrills involved for men about being in a 'secret' and 'taboo' place where women are undressed, pulling down their knickers, inserting tampons...

hence the men posting selfies of themselves in this fabulous and exciting sexual theme park and posting fantasies about getting to help little girls insert tampons ffs.

It's ridiculous to try and pretend this isn't part of it. Women and their bodies and lives are not walking resources for men to play with. And men being sad about that is not going to hurt them.

I like women who swear.

But then I'm Northern and it's normal to me.

the size of that bloke trying to get into the ladies loo!

and if anyone reads Debbie from the insurance company as a woman I'll eat my hat. I guarantee there will be a bunch of women who work with Debbie who are far from delighted about Debbie's freedom to invade their loos

Assigned Northern at birth, eh?

I was actually born in the south! 😆

Careful! I regard Somerset and Wiltshire as the North.

Women cannot be 'sexist' against men in exactly the same way that black people cannot be 'racist' towards white people. If your hatred has no influence then it's irrelevant - it's just an opinion not a prejudice. Women are 50% of the entire human species, yet anything specific to female humans - such as healthcare - remains not only woefully under researched and poorly understood, but considered a niche issue. A specialist issue.

Women will not even begin to command any kind of power until they stop having children and stop living with men - and very few women are able to make this decision. It may be a difficult decision but social change won't happen otherwise. Would you rather live alone and have no kids, or live in Afghanistan? North Korea? Somalia? Most women don't have a choice about how they live.

Women cannot be 'sexist' against men in exactly the same way that black people cannot be 'racist' towards white people.

I know some people use the word "racism" that way, but it's a silly invented meaning.

Yes, black people can be racist.

Do you have any other comments or is that it?

For example I also stated that women make up 50% of all humans - was this statement incorrect?

In the UK the current NHS policy for women suffering from PCOS (a condition which only affects women) is to refuse treatment for benign ovarian cysts until the cyst is at least 10 cm in diameter, at which point the woman in question would be in agonising pain. Is that incorrect because black people can be racist?

That's fine, but it doesn't mean you should be participating in making up a silly new meaning for racism.

In my opinion it was a relevant comparison, that's my perception you don't have to agree. why address that one comment and none of the others?
