Seriously.
What do they think happens in a ladies wash-room? Or any wash-room? I know, Larry Craig comes to mind instantly when one thinks of bathroom sex. Is that why so many of these GOP’ers are so worried for us wimmenz? Because they are participating in some bathroom hi jinx as well? *wink*
Perhaps they need a diagram of how NOT to behave? Like in Russia…..
They could be imagining the infamous bathroom at CBGB’s? I think that was also really substance related however...
This video is truly tasteless. Ayup. But in the context of what we are talking about here…...It is less tasteless and ludicrous than this new law. Beware.
Many of these same Republicans all over the place probably think the loo is a fabulous place to feed babies as well.
It seems to be a real valid idea to many.
Have any of these Republicans ever seen an actual ladies loo? We have stalls. Ya. Women cannot pee standing up. This is a fact. There are inventions to allow this, but they look kinda messy to me. There are no urinals in the majority of ladies wash-rooms…... I have joked in the past that if women could pee standing up, we would be running the world. Writing our names in the snow!
The stalls in the women's loo’s have doors usually, and we sit down.
I use the common areas to wash my hands, perhaps I will add a touch of lipstick. Maybe check my hair. Check my phone.
Is this what the GOP thinks happens in the loo? Language warning for delicate flowers.
It seriously does not involve anyone getting naked for anything else than eliminating waste like 99% of the time. Sometimes we do gossip in there, complain, etc. Occasionally we pass some needed paper to the person in the stall who has found there is none when it’s needed. I have given other ladies sanitary napkins or a Tampax in the past. We are in this together! Camaraderie!
Now. I really have to fess up here? I have used the men’s loo a couple times in my life. Shhhhhhht!
It is a simple reason really? The lines are shorter. They have stalls, and then the urinals on the walls. I SAW IT!
Once at a concert, a few of us ladies commandeered the men’s room. Posted a guard and a few of us snuck into the men’s loo because nature called and the line for the ladies room was so long many of us were missing the show. I have a feeling there are a few women who are nodding and know what I speak of.
TV Nation, 1994. A brilliant idea!
I get bladder infections a lot, I also have a condition called interstitial cystitis. Oh hell, why not mention this now? I know where ALL the good restrooms are in any area I have travelled. I have oft thought of developing a site or an app that lets people know where the cleanest bathrooms are. BTW, the worst ones I have ever found were while travelling in the US. Europe has mostly Beautiful public bathrooms, Canada can be hit and miss.
This gadget fascinated me while I was in Europe.
Bathroom justice? I am all for it!
But the bathroom justice I want, is for women to not have to feed their children while sitting in a place where many excrete their body waste, and I would like there to be a more sensible plan in the amount of facilities for women, simply because we don’t pee standing up, and it takes a little longer.
I would also like to mandate thicker toilet paper. I absolutely HATE those tiny sheets of tissue paper that require that one keeps PULLING and pulling many sheets out.
I just wrote a whole diary about bathrooms in a light-ish kinda vein. But I really do understand what the motivation is for this bunch of bigots:
Force someone who is just living their life, needing to just use the loo as we all have to, to embarrass themselves and be shamed for who they really are. To make damned sure they know they do not have the “approval” or the protection of the wingnut government where they live.
Screw that. That ain’t justice. That’s just bullshit. Hurtful, unnecessary, bullshit.
It also serves to distract the conversation from oh so many actual real issues going on all over the place. North Carolina is no exception.
They need to just forget their wide stance.
Last word to JP Sheffield! AWESOME!
