      i once took a shit in a unisex bathroom in a park in portland…
      oddly enough, it was exactly like taking a shit in any other bathroom…

      Changing only men’s bathrooms is just asking for backlash. Just make every toilet an individual unisex half bathroom with floor to ceiling walls and doors. A toilet, a sink, and a mirror. No more silent mode shits, no more pee shyness. If raising the national minimum wage only made products go up by a few cents some bathroom construction loans will barely do the same. I’ll pay an extra 10 cents for my burrito… Oh that’s right they already have individual bathrooms. Airports, malls, amusement parks, stadiums, music venues? ¯\(ツ)/¯ get gud

        At work they put in a bunch of these during a renovation a few years ago. Only problem is we hit hard times and didn’t renovate more bathrooms so these are far away. I make the trek over to them when I need to poop though. So much nicer than the men’s room.

        If they changed building code so all new buildings did that it would solve the issue. but my solution won’t change existing infrastructure. Its just a sign change.

      Yeah that works, but often male toilets currently only have one stall. Would need to shift that balance for this to be an effective strategy.

        Exactly! That’s why elevators, train-cars, busses and airplanes are always segregated by sex.

        Being serious for a moment I just want to point out the irony in using the threat of male violence as an excuse to uphold patriarchy rather than a rational for dismantling it.

          Yup Thats my point. Keep women bathroom as is. Open up the “biological male” bathrooms to everyone.
