If woke is dead, can we get rid of these awful bathrooms that are a stall and urinal in a room the size of a closet? I don’t want to see your dick. I don’t want to go anywhere with this feature.

Hey, at least you have a stall. I don't care much for other people seeing my junk either.

A long bank of urinals with zero shielding between them.

Maybe this will encourage them to change it back or buy a lock!

You’re supposed to lock the door on those, not have a party in there.

I suppose I misinterpreted “stall” as “toilet”.

But is the bathroom you’re describing a shared space gender neutral bathroom with a urinal and one stall? Cause I’ve never seen that (I’ve seen men’s rooms like that, but not gender neutral). That sounds very uncomfortable.

it’s a thing. i have been lucky enough not to see a dick in one, but it’s definitely a thing in the “grungy dive, but make it progressive” bar/theater/etc scene.

It sounds like they just turned a normal mens room into a "gender neutral". The cheapest option!

beautifulrobot @beautifulrobot.bsky.social

for here i think it’s mostly cafes in locations that used to have two small bathrooms and now have one employee bathroom and one customer bathroom, less to do with progressive gender policies and more a very practical approach to bathroom distribution, alas

Yeah I’m making an executive decision to just not go to places that have it anymore. It’s unfortunate because the place I was at last night I have gone to a good deal over the years, but I don’t think I’ll ever be returning.

You know what? For that matter, this gen-Xer still remembers the first time he encountered a urinal and puzzled over why they needed to invent a plumbing receptacle *less* flexible than a regular-old toilet. Everyone knows how to use a toilet.

I have to use a public toilet at a university every day so I'm going to have to hard disagree with "everyone knows how to use a toilet"

I am going to pedantically push back, on the basis that *everyone knows how to use a toilet* including those who refuse to um... well... act like they do.

I couldn't have articulated it, because I was young. But I definitely remember thinking "you can do #1 and #2 in this one, but only #1 in that one... the grownups must have some Important Reason for doing it this way, because otherwise it just seems dumb".

Your lock is the shifty regular with a pocket knife that will watch the door for you for a busch lite or whatever.

The no locking option is usually the result of folks repeatedly using the space for drug use or staff having to deal w/prior ODs or even SA (according to bar/club/restaurant staff/owner friends I’ve had since the 80s) It sucks.

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

Not related to the issue though. There’s another bathroom that is only a toilet and that one locks. And also if that was the issue that they could just take out the urinal!

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

Like this is a new issue. It was not this way before. It was a men’s room and it was a women’s room. That’s why it didn’t lock. When it was a men’s room it was probably less uncomfortable to have a man at the sink, a man with his dick out at the urinal, and a man sitting in the stall.

ToughestGirlInTown @thetgit.bsky.social

Ah,ok. You’re right —I’ve seen men’s bathrooms at music clubs that didn’t even bother with a door so if you walked past from one angle, you’d see the backs of dudes at urinals.

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social

Yeah in this scenario you are touching the physical back of a man pissing at the urinal when you walk out of the stall to get past him. At least two bars in DC have converted to this and it’s horrific.

Eeeeew. For context:I’m old enough to remember being glad I had thick DocMartin boot soles when using the basement b-room at dcspace which always seemed to be flooded. I’d have higher expectations of bars today. Ugh.
