    I’ve heard the argument that as soon as there is one common bathroom, women will get stalked and raped in there….

    Sorry to burst your bubble but if someone wanted to attack you, it’s not a triangle dress on a sign that would have stopped them.

      “You’re right! And that’s why we are also outlawing so-called ‘trans women’ from entering them!”

      It can. Mostly because if a person enters wrong bathroom, everyone there will focus on them. With women going into attack mode.

      Except that if not there, that person will find another moment. x_x

        Do you think these assaults are happening in crowded bathrooms? Or that other women will ignore an assault simply because the bathroom is unisex?

        • They aren’t scared of woman. They should be scared of women.

          In most cases, an average guy could be taken by as few as 3 average women – that’s a scientific statistic, based on my scientific person science feeling about how many average women it’d take to make me feel physically threatened.

          You can throw all sorts of variables in there: is the guy an MMA fighter? Are any of the women fighters? Does anyone have weapons, from rocks or sticks, up to guns? Is one of the women Holly Holmes or Ronda Roussey? What if it’s Dwayne Johnson against Ronda Roussey, Holly Holmes, and Anne Mathis? Heck, I’d pay to see that fight. Dwayne’s not an MMA fighter, but all that mass and muscle is going to count.

          Anyway, a reasonable small group of untrained women could fuck up your average untrained guy, especially if the women aren’t holding back; so, yeah, if he isn’t scared of a group of angry women, he’s an idiot, rapist or not.

        If you wanted to record restrooms, you could just set the camera eye level at the sinks. Something that physically can’t see into closed stalls(and make the stall wall/doors go from floor to ceiling).

        I don’t think either are going to deter assault.

          Proper self contained cubicles, then you can just record everything outside of it and you would see anyone going in. The lock should help too.
