Have we become such a nanny state that we need the Govt. to tell us which restrooms to use? Is this not something we can decide for ourselves?
It wasn't that long ago that if a place had a restroom, there was one. And it was outside. Everybody used it, no hassles.
Fast forward to the era of indoor plumbing. Restrooms were inside and at some point one bathroom wasn't enough. I'm not sure if it was because gals didn't want to share because guys are gross (we are), or if it's because guys didn't want to share because gals take so long (you do). But at some point it was decided that we needed a separate restroom for each gender.
Which brings us to today, where for some reason we've become so reliant upon Big Brother to do all of our thinking for us that we can't seem to settle this one simple act for ourselves.
Guys, who among us has never "stood guard" outside the men's room so our dates could use it because the line to the ladies room was so freakin' long.
Ladies, when is the last time you went to the ladies room alone? Never. You go in groups. And what happened to a guy that was caught using the ladies room? You either harassed the hell out of him until he left or you all left until he was done. Then you harassed him while he walked out.
Mom's, who among you has never taken your little boy into the ladies room with you?
My point is, we've all seen circumstances where the "wrong" gendered person was not in their designated rest room but we managed to work it out and the world didn't come to an end.
In a time when our Govt. is involving itself in every aspect of our lives, this certainly should be one area we can manage on our own....
