For the record I support multi gender spaces but I am apparently in the minority of people who thinks bears are scary

    At my university there are multi gender washrooms all over campus. They have been modified so that there is a wall around the unirals to obstruct view but otherwise same as a regular washroom meant for one gender. Signs have been replaced with “all-gender washroom” and another note saying “this washroom has stalls” or “this washroom has stalls and urinals”

    I’m not against this in the slightest but the same blue-haired people who made this happen are all over social media right now claiming they would rather be in the woods with a random bear than a random man

      If you ever want to type “blue-haired people” and aren’t literally talking about people with blue hair please take a moment and realize you’re probably better off not typing anything at all.

        Are you really denying that blue hair hasn’t become symbolism of a certain identity movement

          No, I’m not denying that. There has been a strong push to form that association… but it’s a childish, surface level ad-hominem attack that we shouldn’t perpetuate.

            I have a lot of friends who dyed their hair blue because they are indeed extremely left wing lol, and they would be proud that people associate blue hair with that

      Funny, visiting someone else’s university is where I saw that. It was a highly regarded liberal arts college in New England. Still, I’d call that super rare.

      The bear thing seems a bit exaggerated. Not sure what hair color has to do with this

        I’m saying that the ultra left people you usually see with dyed hair are the people who advocate for multi gender washrooms, are the same people so loud on social media right now about how dangerous men are
