OR... or you could have genderless bathrooms?

    Even that's not necessary; it's a problem that solves itself. If a vagina owner goes into the mens room, they're going to be using a stall. If a penis owner goes into the women's restroom, they're going to be using a stall.

    It's not like the gender signs were a deterrent to rapists in the first place. No rapist in history has stopped and said, "Well damn, I can't follow them because a sign says so."

    I was using the bathroom at a small restaurant recently, both bathrooms were single occupancy but they were marked as male and female, and I was just thinking "why do they bother?" What is the fucking point of gender segregating single occupancy bathrooms? If two women or two men need to use the bathroom at the same time, theyre supposed to wait in line even though it wouldnt hurt anyone to just use the other empty bathroom? It just highlights how damn arbitrary segregating by gender is

    I think the main reason for this is to prevent assholes with penises from peeing all over the seat in the woman's room.

    It's less an issue in Europe, where people with penises are expected to sit when peeing

    I don't hang in the women's bathrooms, but from what I've heard from the people that do, you're much more likely to have assholes with vaginas peeing all over the seats.

    A man can, and typically will, lift the seat if he feels the need to stand to pee. As I understand it, women won't lift the seat to hover-pee.

    As a man who is absolutely exhausted from life, I don't know why anyone would stand when they can sit, whether it's peeing, working, reading a book, whatever.

    I've not seen the inside of a girls' bathroom in a highschool, but I have seen the inside of a boys' bathroom and let me tell you, I would not want to inflict having to share that bathroom on the girls.

    And honestly for a school it makes sense to have larger bathrooms. Time between classes can be short causing a rush for bathrooms. With limited building space, individual bathrooms would be a lot.
