is that some sort of sexist thing or just an oversight?
and in case you are wondering, yes, i frequent the men's loo. why? because i can't understand why loos are segregated. if society feels that its appropriate to segregate the sexes (based on what?--differing outward appearances?) then perhaps it should segregate the races too.
i also frequent the men's loo (but only as much as i frequent the women's) because i feel highly androgynous. i view myself more as a person rather than as a stick figure wearing a skirt or one wearing trousers.
i'm happy when i come across unisex loos.
and, while we're on the subject--in london, they've put up these little outdoor cubicles for men to pee in. this was done in an attempt to lessen the amount of public urination--quite a problem here since they dont believe in public toilets. i just think this is wrong. its sexist. they have made absolutely no effort to set up anything that could be used by a female (note the differing peeing positions). i'd campaign against it, but i'm too lazy.
i'm not a feminist or anything. i;m just an equalist. if men have state funded bins to pee in, i want one too. sure, the argument might be as follows--> men are usually the ones who pee in public, so we've only put up public pee bins for men.
well, thats just great. women are the nicer-to-other-people ones who painfully hold it all in until they get home, but men are the rude ones who piss all over the city--so it follows that men get rewarded with public loos and women dont?
thats all for today folks. i'm off to find one of those public pee bins to see if i can successfully pee like a man.
i'll leave you with this where you can find an elaboration on the following:
Eroding landmarks
While some local authorities may prefer not to encourage the public passing of water, many realise that it is better to collect fluids than allow late-night revellers to pee as and where they please.
Portable urinals are popping up around the UK
Westminster Council, for one, knows it can no longer turn a blind eye to what it calls "wet spots" - the corners and doorways people duck into to take a leak.
For uric acid passed by those waiting for night buses in Trafalgar Square has begun to erode the stone walls of the National Gallery.
The council has installed 12 temporary urinals, two fixed urinals and, later this year, will open two telescopic urinals that will rise out of the pavement on Friday and Saturday nights.
