Don't open that can of worms, you'll have sexual predators lining up for penis reduction surgery just to get into the women's bathrooms!

Solution is found, we can stop the discussion now.

Heck, we don't need a barkeeper, just have a camera pointing at the crotch area that unlocks the door via image recognition.

Can't have the barkeeper or a camera with AI doing that. It all needs to be official. We need a government agency.

"Piss pass" is genius - it sounds sooo marketable, great ads might come out of this.

Sharing the picture on a big screen in the Restaurant/Bar and then holding a vote would be very democratic.

Also this will instill more responsibility in people, they will be reminded all the time that it's up to them to make bathrooms safe.

No one cared, in one of them there is also a pissoir, turns out women are fully capable of walking past it.

Are men at that bar overall comfortable using a urinal with women walking right past them? Just curious.

I thought I missed some big news when I saw the number of posts but everyone just feels compelled to have their say on bathrooms for some reason.

The worst part is that no one even wants to actively push this, there's no nefarious group behind it or anything. It's just that metric-driven social media is really good at finding and blasting the topics that have naturally high engagement, which then get picked up by trad media and politicians, whose takes then get recycled in social media and you end up with this avalanche that potentially makes elections decided by goddamn bathroom designs at a time of great economic, ecological and geopolitical change and uncertainty.

I can deal with a world where powerful lobbying groups are doing damage for short term financial interests, I can make sense of it. I can't deal with a world where the damage is an unintended consequence of some stupid Facebook KPI.

You won't have to, because all this is an intentional distraction by the ruling elite from those economic, ecological and geopolitical problems.

The fact that elections get decided on non issues like this isn't an accident, it's by design.

I would guess no, first you’re drunk. Then, around here anyway, every guy pretty much heads to a tree and turns there back to piss with people of both genders around when camping or younger at bush parties. I could see men getting a little closer to the urinal but I also do not think women are that interested in seeing peeing flaccid dinks.

Women are definitely not as interested in seeing a penis, flaccid or no, as a lot of men like to think they are. This applies at least as much to dick pics. Nobody is jonesing to see your junk.

That said, I don't see what the problem is. Randos are randos. I'd be a little more worried that women suddenly have men in their restrooms, but also general stalls already exist in a lot of spaces and nobody freaks out about it.

They just haven't seen mine! (Plenty of idiots think )
From my experience men don't care one bit and the ones that do care, only enter bathrooms when no one else is in there anyway.

I don't see a problem. If I'm walking in the forest and need to pee, I wait for it to be quiet and find a tree. If someone comes around the corner, I'm a bit embarrassed, but gender of the people walking past doesn't increase or decrease my embarrassment. In urinals, people walking past me don't make me uncomfortable. People peeing in the urinal next to me is midly discomforting.

Of course, everybody is different, but I'd say about 99% of discomfort is cultural, and something you can get over with it just happening a bunch of times without the world ending.

If you were an alien and came to learn about US politics from the thread you'd be convinced bathrooms (not even trans rights) is the top political issue here. It's embarrassing.

The whole discussion pretty perfectly encapsulates how the scheme you mentioned works.

We already build bathrooms to solve the issue the gop is trying to manufacture to attack trans people. I havn't seen a bathroom that does not have privacy for everyone in mind when you're using it. You could raise a problem with olden style pee troughs and the oddly terrible built stalls but this isn't a real issue.

People who make an issue of this are the people who look for problems so they don't have to be confronted on things like why they don't want kids to have good nutrition in schools or for community and technical schools to be free. They're both disgustingly cheap programs that have actual positive impacts. But no we have to talk about how some people feel uncomfortable going to the bathroom in public.

imo the funny part is that aside from Taelshin nobody really even disagreed with each other, and nobody actually cares much.
