Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
This seems to be a very controversial issue here in the states, I've included a link for you that do no see the craziness in our news. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fights-break-out-over-first-gender-neutral-bath... What are your thoughts about this occurrence? Do you agree or disagree? ======================================= I have never understood our multidimensional hangups over the area between our waists and on top of our legs. Still, in general, I stay away from ruffling any feathers, but since the question is asked, this is what I think. When we visit a friend in their home, do we ask for a male or female bathroom, if need be? Then in our own homes, aren’t the bathrooms unisex? Then, why the controversy? Because I have talked about this inane argument thus far, I would also like to add something that always bothered me. Why do they have open urinals in men’s restrooms? Put everything inside stalls with good doors and walls extending to the ground, and everyone will be okay. Then all bathrooms can be unisex, and the sexual orientation problems we have created in our thinking regarding restrooms will be totally done away with. I would especially have liked this when I was raising boys and had to do shopping with them. I felt insecure letting a six or eight-year-old alone into a men’s restroom, especially in a not-too-crowded one. Yet, when I took them to women’s, the other women looked at me and some even said nasty things as if I took a scimitar to their private parts. Why are we so inhibited in our thinking? It is elimination, after all. |
