    I’ve heard the argument that as soon as there is one common bathroom, women will get stalked and raped in there….

    Sorry to burst your bubble but if someone wanted to attack you, it’s not a triangle dress on a sign that would have stopped them.

      “You’re right! And that’s why we are also outlawing so-called ‘trans women’ from entering them!”

        They could put little TVs in each stall so that you can see what’s happening in the other stalls, to be sure nobody is coming after you.

        If you wanted to record restrooms, you could just set the camera eye level at the sinks. Something that physically can’t see into closed stalls(and make the stall wall/doors go from floor to ceiling).

        I don’t think either are going to deter assault.

          Proper self contained cubicles, then you can just record everything outside of it and you would see anyone going in. The lock should help too.

      It can. Mostly because if a person enters wrong bathroom, everyone there will focus on them. With women going into attack mode.

      Except that if not there, that person will find another moment. x_x

        You’re getting downvoted, but I’m extremely cautious of unisex bathrooms because a creep did exactly this at a bar, using the guise of the unisex bathroom to follow me in and sexually assaulted me.

        As you stated, I’m sure he would have found any avenue to isolate me without causing suspicion that he could have found, but this certainly provided an easy method for him.

        Also, edit to add: this was a couple years ago and I’m doing much better now :). Fuck that guy though, I hope he gets hit by a garbage truck.

        Do you think these assaults are happening in crowded bathrooms? Or that other women will ignore an assault simply because the bathroom is unisex?

        The dude overpowering women and raping them is scared of women? Smooth idea so smooth and shiny you should keep this one.

        • They aren’t scared of woman. They should be scared of women.

          In most cases, an average guy could be taken by as few as 3 average women – that’s a scientific statistic, based on my scientific person science feeling about how many average women it’d take to make me feel physically threatened.

          You can throw all sorts of variables in there: is the guy an MMA fighter? Are any of the women fighters? Does anyone have weapons, from rocks or sticks, up to guns? Is one of the women Holly Holmes or Ronda Roussey? What if it’s Dwayne Johnson against Ronda Roussey, Holly Holmes, and Anne Mathis? Heck, I’d pay to see that fight. Dwayne’s not an MMA fighter, but all that mass and muscle is going to count.

          Anyway, a reasonable small group of untrained women could fuck up your average untrained guy, especially if the women aren’t holding back; so, yeah, if he isn’t scared of a group of angry women, he’s an idiot, rapist or not.

            Lol did you ever see the ninja warrior where they let men and women compete at same time? USWNT vs U15 FC Dallas go ahead and google it. Why do you think there is a womens league, and and weight divisions? What are the differences for male and female military standards? I could go on. Enjoy your fantasy I’m sure it won’t turn out poorly.

              Yeah, but the key difference here is numbers. A man outstrips a woman of similar training at most of that stuff (testosterone is a hell of a drug), but the moment you have numbers on one side it changes things. It’s dramatically more difficult to protect yourself from multiple opponents and more opponents means a higher chance someone has some kind of weapon. So unless hypothetical rapey dude has a gun, it’s a very poor idea tactically.

                You are thinking way to much about stuff that don’t check out. Rape man using logic? Tactically it would be better to spend all this effort into finding a sexual partner who is into the things you like. Lots of people are into roleplaying. Also I haven’t ever seen roves of Amazon woman. Usually when some lady is being physically assaulted(deserved or not) all the comments are “ain’t no real man gonna step up and protect her.” But I’ll wait feel free to links some video evidence of what your describing.

                  My dude, the only reason why rapes don’t happen around witnesses is because people put a stop to it. I don’t know why you want to argue this point.
