Feminism and a world designed for men

[kalidarkone]

one thing you can rely on Gromit for is whine

Ouch that's terrible

Ouch that's terrible

but sadly true

 

[TopCat]

There's period pain and then there is curled up in a ball on the floor unable to help themselves period pain that only some women get.
I'm guessing she was alone in having experience of such (amongst that particular group) and not in a condition to help herself too much.
Does that help solve the puzzle?

Maybe they were hysterical?

(Yes I went there, might as well ridicule you all as you are ridiculing me for actually helping someone in pain)

Please don't.

I was alerted to the interesting turn this thread had taken and originally came here to tell Gromit to fuck off, but it seems plenty of people have done so already.

Not really my idea of fun, TBH

As far as the toilets in the Old Vic go, it's a challenge to convert existing toilet facilities to provide better access for women, but it appears that in this case they've not only effectively made things worse, they've also done it with dishonest fund raising.

What a truly astonishing turn this thread has taken.

nor mine, i thought the absence of a ! or a would suggest i wasn't being wholly serious

I've put on a week ban plus also warning points and the next instance of this is going to get much more, because this is a joke now.

I went to the Old Vic on Monday, with 30 14-16 year old kids (23 girls, 7 boys, 0 nb or trans).

Unfortunately I didn’t go to the loo. Most of the kids did, during the interval. They all got back in time for the second half and none of them mentioned anything odd about the facilities. We have single sex loos at school, which is difficult for the trans students but they all currently use the loo for their biological sex.

On gender neutral toilets: I’ve never visited a home in the uk that doesn’t have one.

But you probably don't bowl up there as an unknown random.

I could abuse and rape women in public toilets but that’s more likely to happen within my home, isn’t it?

You tell us.

Hilarious! I’m obviously referring to well known statistics rather than my own predilections.

Thanks for the intervention. In short: I struggle to see the uproar about ‘gender neutral’ toilets.
I’m sure you agree actually.

A lot of women have explained their feelings. You could go back three or four pages and read them if you wanted.

Man struggles to understand women's situation/POV.

Every woman has been in a situation where the only option is a gender neutral toilet (visiting homes of others).
I’ve never heard any woman raise concerns about this, except from on here of course.

Yeah, I’ve only discovered women two days ago and I don’t have a mother, sister, aunties, female friends, girlfriends, etc

Why would they raise this with you? Are you an architect?

For clarity we're not talking about people's homes, that would be ridiculous and you're just trying to wind everyone up.

Nobody really knows each other in shared houses, which are somewhat more intimate than toilets in a public entertainment venue, and I’ve never heard a shared toilet being an issue. Perhaps you can point me to a case where it has been?
This is just a political football for middle class people.

Working class women don't care, see.

Jesus Christ. Okay, for the hard of understanding, there isn't a cubicle situation, there isn't a shared area, it's generally a one-in-one-out sort of a situation. It is not comparable with a public space. Will that do? And yes, this situation could NEVER affect a working class woman in any way.

They closed all the public bogs in my home town, which were sex specific, in the early eighties.
Oh no, a theatre!

That's a shame. Did you campaign against the closure or have you petitioned for more facilities?
