Barbican Art Centre Ditches Male And Female Toilets For 'gender-Neutral' Loos

/// She also branded their decision as being 'totally ridiculous' and asked why women 'lose our space to men'. ///

Surely it should be the men moaning, who wants other sexes barging into the men's loo when they are standing using a urinal?

I've read the link twice now and am still perplexed, they have relabelled the Ladies loos as gender neutral only?


Makes no sense.

[woofgang]

what is wrong with removing all the urinals and making all the loos cubicles? This was done years ago in the hospital where I used to work.

[woofgang]

mamya apparently they have labelled to loos “gender neutral with urinals” and "gender neutral with cubicles"

[ToraToraTora]

Perlease! Happens all the time at twickers, the ladies utilise any available cubicle when they want to go.

[Baldric]

The Women are going to get hissed off finding the seats up all the time ;o)

[webbo3]

woofgang, Because then they will get loads of complaints from women about the seats being left up or not being lifted up.

Ah I see - well it doesn't bother me I just found the article disjointed.

Just call them toilets.

AOG...I don't go to public toilets.
In the UK, my Club was men only and in Menorca, it is men only, so perhaps my post is, more than slightly , biased.
Now......when i was a very Junior hospital doctor, we had a mess party and I was going "great guns " with this nurse.....definitely a "cert" for the end of the evening. She wanted to go to the toilet and i followed a few minutes later as i was in need and accidentally pushed open the door of the toilet in which she was using. Yes, AOG I did apologise, but the sight of her sitting there with her knickers around her knees...well......it put me off, you understand and ruined my whole evening.
Is my post pertinent and do you see what i am getting at?

[Mamyalynne]

That's why you didn't specialise in Urology.

*Chortlesplutter*^^^^....me too.

Seems perfectly understandable to me.

*** The famous Barbican Centre has scrapped male and female toilets and introduced 'gender-neutral' loos - with women complaining they now have to queue for longer. ***

*** They new signs now say that they are 'gender-neutral with cubicles' and 'gender-neutral with urinals'. ***

As those that design large spaces for concerts etc seem totally unable to work out that men generally take less time in the loos than women ...a clothing thing, we have more so it takes more time...and plan accordingly (hence long queues of women with their legs crossed and men back with their beer or seats etc within minutes) I have frequently nipped into the gents where the cubicles are generally unused and pee...absolutely no problem!!

[woofgang]

install timed auto lowering seats....that’ll learn ‘em!

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I realise it 's my misreading of the piece.

Well according to your devious plans, you were hoping to see them finish up over her knees, around her ankles and on the floor, so what's the difference? :0)

[douglas9401]

Somebody may have misunderstood 'gender fluid'.

[anotheoldgit]

Mamyalynne

No prob. we all tend to do the same from time to time.

[Sqad]

AOG...no! no! no!..
Yes.....you are correct, but the manoevre of getting her knickers onto the floor was part of sqad's foreplay and exciting to both concerned.
But the function of knickers around the knees during bodily necessities,is quite different.
