I'm a feminist!

That's weird.  I almost always see changing stations in the men's room.  And, barring that, there's usually a "family restroom."  But at any rate, you did the right thing.  I'm all for eliminating gender-segregated restrooms anyway.

but then we'd have to get rid of the urinals, wouldn't we?  I mean would it really be appropriate for a man to stand at a urinal, do his business, while females could be walking around the bathroom?  

Why?  Men's bathrooms already have both.  Women just wouldn't use them, like they already don't.  As for the latter portion of your post, do you tend to look at men in urinals when you're in the bathroom?  Do you worry about men looking at you when you're using the urinal?  If not, why are you worried about women?

That said, and you may find this related, I think urinals should have partitions, and I absolutely hate those communal trough-style urinals like you find in sports stadiums.

Meh. I don't use the urinals anyway.I like to sit down while I pee.

And yeah, I consider myself to be a feminist too.

I don't get why items of clothing should be segregated either.

If you've been following a few of my latest videos, you will know that I vehemently agree.  Therefore, I make sure I don't segregate them.

Since we're on the topic, I greatly prefer urinals that have dividers.  Not that I'm worried about someone looking at my junk, but I hate having to be real obvious about *not* looking at someone else's junk.  Especially at work.  I always feel like an idiot looking up at the ceiling.

And if you see my edit to my earlier post, Frink, you'll see that I tend to agree

She should considering she just won RuPaul's Drag Race this season.

Well what else is s/he supposed to carry things around in??

because some clothing is designed for women and their body shape and some is designed for men and their body shape?

 

That's kinda bogus. Yeah there are T-shirts and jeans and stuff which are designed for women's body shapes, but that doesn't mean there can't also be skirts and tights and stuff for men... sometimes I like to wear dresses too :(

It's annoying that I can never find high heels in my size too.

oh good God.

Oh, don't be such a prude.

^ That was to be my next question.

I know I should feel insulted by that remark, but I can't help imagining that line as said by William Daniels's John Adams, and that makes me smile.

I dislike using bathrooms at work. For an example of a unisex bathroom in a workplace, see Ally McBeal. I'm with Warbler on urinals + women. It's weird. When I was living in Chicago there was a big event on Lake Michigan, and coming back from that with many thousands of people, a hapless young guy had to pee, so he found the nearest tree. Two girls screamed at him, seriously calling him a pervert, etc. That was uncalled for, it was obviously an emergency. Anyway, creating a public room where it's okay for a guy to undo his pants with women around doesn't solve any problem. Plenty of men and women are uncomfortable enough with public bathrooms. And Boost, excellent reason to be a feminist!

I hate pink.

But I do wish I had the right physique to wear anything other than baggy tshirts, I would look atrocious in women's clothes. Not to mention the torches and pitchforks that would be waiting just outside my door, here in BigotLand.

Where is BigotLand?  'Cause I either want to stay very far away from it or flounce flamboyantly through it and cause them to gnash their teeth in frustration.  I'm not sure which.

As for Mrebo, I agree that that was uncalled for, and I wish humans as a whole would stop being so immature and squeamish when it comes to natural bodily functions.  Still, I have a hard time finding an exact corollary between doing your business in public where anyone can see it whether they choose to or not and doing it in a place specifically designed for it where people who choose to enter will do so knowing full well that other people will be using the facilities.

And I've never seen Ally McBeal, so the comparison is lost on me.  I have, however, seen Boy Meets World, and the co-ed bathrooms in that show seem pretty similar to the situation Bingo described.
