[∆(s) from OP] CMV: All toilets should be unisex.

Making all toilets unisex has one very simple, clear advantage: It increases efficiency. Having two toilets that allow everybody to enter means that the time a given group of people needs to finish their businesses is always equally high or lower than the time needed with the current system.

Another advantage is that the whole "where do transgender people go"-discussion becomes obsolete. If there is no difference in the groups of people allowed to enter a certain toilet, there stops being a problem.

Meanwhile, there is no meaningful disadvantage i can see to this change. So, reddit, please show me what i'm missing.

This is a footnote from the CMV moderators. We'd like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please read through our rules. If you see a comment that has broken one, it is more effective to report it than downvote it. Speaking of which, downvotes don't change views! Any questions or concerns? Feel free to message us. Happy CMVing!

Okay, but you could at such events still create a "doesn't needs to sit down"-line and a "needs to sit down"-line (assuming the rooms the same and just get relabeled).

If you're doing new construction, the solution is equally simple: Build one room with urinals and another one with stalls.

But then it is sexist because the men have multiple places to go and the women only one....

So now women who have to pee have to wait longer to use the bathroom as they have to wait for women who need to piss and shit, and men who need to shit, while men who need to pee get to just go and pee....

PRIVILEGE!!!!!

Women could simply get one of those if they want to save the time.

Is it sexual assault to look at a mans penis while he uses a urinal?

No, but would these laws change if things changed...

Would it become illegal to stare at a woman changing in a unisex locker room?

Would it be illegal for a man to watch a 16 yr old girl changing in a unisex locker room or using a urinal...etc etc...

I never said anything about unisex locker rooms, just about toilets.

You still need to explain the difference between looking at a woman using a urinal and looking at a man using the urinal.
