    I was in favor of unisex bathrooms, but someone pointed out that women are constantly harassed by men and the only safe way to escape unwanted attention is to retreat to a place that men basically cannot enter.

    That is, it can be unsafe for a woman to tell a man to leave her alone, or that she’s not interested, or similar. She can go to the bathroom though.

      I don’t know if it differs outside of Canada but “unisex” means single occupancy just like a toilet at home. Where TF are unisex bathrooms where both genders collect en masse a thing? That’s just asking for sexual harassment.

        In Europe each stall has actual walls and the doors are actually doors. So mixing is fine, because everyone has actual privacy.
