Are we just talking about full bars/pubs/clubs?
Are those the ridiculously restrictive parameters of your argument?
No. You're reaching tho.
In a night club full of people, which means a bathroom full of people of all genders, when do you expect the perp to make a move?

I am so grateful that there are so many men wanting to protect me while I pee at Target! Now if you only cared about protecting women elsewhere, especially in their own homes.
Your sarcasm is duly noted. But much if not most of the concern is for girls and young women that are more vulnerable and not as wary as middle aged women.
Precisely.
I think gender-neutral bathrooms works in some locations. Whether that be a part of a city or place of business. As such, I think it's something that can/should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, if it should even come to that--and I say this because I really don't see the point in having gender-neutral bathrooms at all. What exactly does it achieve?
And just for the record, I think that if you are transgender you should be allowed to use whichever bathroom of the gender you identify with. Why? Because we wouldn't be increasing the likelihood that men will dress up as women to use the women's bathroom--it's just as easy for men to do that now.
So, you're basically saying either we do everything together or we become like Iran or Saudi Arabia, where men & women can't do much at all together? That, IOW, a logical extension of gender-based bathrooms, is gender based everything?
You are ing re ed if this is the case. I rarely call anyone names, but ma'am if this is what you believe you are ing dumb.
Says dude bringing up bathrooms in questionable euro bars and ones here where there are poor, stupid, ignorant dudes in bad areas of town........and non-premeditated, impulse style.
Lol, you're reaching.
Man, oh man...
How can you possibly have a good, honest debate about the validity of gender-neutral bathrooms if you don't talk about what their implications may be in socio-economically disadvantaged areas--arguably, and most probably, the areas that are most at-risk? I wasn't restricting , I was broadening it. It was laughably, fantastically simplistic in scope before, where men, women & children could shower, piss and together without aaaany worry.
And it all made perfect sense to you.
Because in your head, these people were perfect people: they were middle-upper class, educated, sober, emotionally & psychologically stable, and probably white. You know, the kinds of people you'd probably see all throughout Europe & Asia in areas that cater to tourists.
All YOU did was tell that I'm "reaching". Reaching on what? Crowded and presumably more tightly secured night clubs having less incidents of rape? No , Sherlock. YOU created those parameters specifically to discredit my entire perspective. You're dishonest.
Ya gotta anything more than this "your reaching" gimmick, or what. You're boring the out me.
I don't buy the at-risk you're trying to sell.
The rest of that was boring-looking tldr
But poor people are sooo scary!!

You're neck high in your own bull .
You can twist & distort what I've said all you want if it makes you feel any better, but the
undeniable reality is, in your extensive touristic travels throughout Asia & Europe, you probably never stepped foot in a socio-economically disadvantaged area.
Get off your damn high horse, write a tourist guide or something.
Bible humpers, Christian haters always love in their lessnes to imagine targets that they'll shoot
Anti-LGBT Lawyer 'Taking A Glock .45 To The Ladies Room' To Defend Against Trans Women

Your soapbox is boring without anything to back your rant up with
"Soapbox"...lol. with all of you re s, the soapbox is fully occupied.
Btw, I deeply regret calling you names, Maalox, and I sincerely apologize for that. If I'm honest, I struggle with keeping my emotions in check/impulse control. I've subjected many--too many--others to it, and lost friends & family over it. I've made strides, but there's still a lot of work yet to be done.
We simply don't see eye-to-eye here, and I'll move on.
Cheers & enjoy your day.
I back up my soap box rants, tbh. If you find them boring or re ed, I really don't give a .
I might passingly wonder why you're here posting your opinions here, but that's about it
It's just re ed that anyone with a different opinion than yours must be loony or on a "soapbox".
No you are the one doing the distorting. You've chosen to go on and on and judge me/my opinions because i mentioned marble and chrome in bathrooms. Then you proceed to lecture me about the dangers you perceive in bathrooms in socio-economically challenged areas?! So which one of us is the snob on their high horse? Just because I only shared a minute part of my travels doesn't mean that's all i did, but apparently you know better. I've pissed in plenty of drain in the middle of the floor "facilities" and you know what? I wasn't scared there either but you sure have given many reasons why i should have been.
Yeah, I didn't call him loony for having a different opinion. I don't think I even called him loony here.
And he must be on a "soapbox" because he's on one.
If your re ed ass doesn't understand what a soapbox is, that's on your re ed ass

Target.
500K signatures to boycott.
The pe ion started by the American Family Association on Wednesday raises concerns that Target's inclusive stance on transgender rights encourages sexual predators and puts women and young girls in danger, because "a man can simply say he 'feels like a woman today' and enter the women's restroom."
The boycott has more than 503,000 signatures as of Monday morning, marking it as one of AFA's most popular campaigns.
If already posted oh well. I'm not sorting thru the pissing matches.

Lol American family association.
Hey look what you can buy from their website!

I bet they left this out:
Most of the older, poorer places use these. That's a pic of a pretty nice one
Just put your feet on those little foot ridges and squat over the drain. In public restrooms there will be a line of those against one wall, each separated by a half wall. It cracked me up when Mingus was snarking about fancy shmancy touristy places because it made me think of the absolute worst bathroom I have ever been in----it was just a room (closet) with a drain and a lightbulb on a wire hanging over it. There weren't any foot ridges, just little worn out spots on the tile. That was the coffee shop in the courtyard of the Louvre
