Toilet intrigue whats the crack?

[BoroughGal]

They have outdoor urinals at festivals (albeit generally bales of hay) - but they certainly seem to be cleaner (just through being less enclosed than a cubicle) and there's less waiting around - I don't think they're that bad an idea - other than the smell in surrounding areas.

My mate once thought a convinently placed hay bale would make an excellent seat.

 

Never seen someone stand up so quickly.

What, then, is the course of action? Do we make everything gender-neutral? Do we also make "gay bathrooms?" The status quo is not practical.

There should be no action taken. The status quo is absolutley fine.

Do you think the council would go for that idea in the city center?

ive been in a few bars with a unisex toilet, was a bit weird at first but didnt bother me that much.

We already have open air toilets in the city centre; they're called shop doorways......

How, then, do gays figure into this? The issue obviously isn't that gay men are really women, and therefore need to use the women's room, but that the same sexual motivations that result in gender distinction apply. Realistically, there's no difference between the discomfort of a man in the women's room and a lesbian in the women's room; the same applies for men and gay men.

And don't try to argue that the fear of a gay man "molesting" a straight man in the bathroom is unwarranted. I could tell you the same thing for the idea of a straight man in the women's room - but society believes it's a valid fear and wants the distinction.

 

Are you taking the ****? I've never read such rubbish. And unless you are gay please don't state as fact what you are surmising gay peoples thought processes to be.

I was at a festival in the Milton Keynes Bowl a few years back and the only place to escape the sun was in the little wood at the back of the rise that forms the "bowl".

 

My friend (the erstwhile drummer of _{NOVA) and I watched a guy urinate into a bush in the woods and all over a couple sitting on the other side of it.}

 

_{The urinated-upon bloke jumped up and started calling the urinator all the names under the sun.}

 

_{In response the rather drunken urinator zipped himself up and said: "It's okay, mate...I'm all done now" and wandered off as if the chap was apologising for having got in the way.}

Mixed bogs ?

 

Daft idea that can never work while women insist on hiding their farts from men.
