Re: Everybody is boycotting North Carolina
Seriously, the people hollering most about this stuff are the ones who think of it in the first place. This is why the rest of us are baffled.
This reminds me of the ERA days, where there was a constant threat of "If you want to be treated as equals, then someone's gonna rape you in the bathroom."
Also, under current public bathroom practices, rapists and murderers have been able to ambush people. They don't need to disguise themselves in the clothes of the opposite gender, they just go in when no one is looking. This is why family style bathrooms are becoming more popular (as well as the mom/son, dad/daughter) situations.
Also, having survived unisex bathrooms in my college dorms, I can tell you that it works fine with stalls. Even showers. Some things are really no fun in public no matter who is around, and discomfort over the rest fades pretty quickly. Mostly it was just women upset about the guy Who Would Not Aim. Although he did pretty much end up with his own personal stall by default, and the women could rule him out as a dating prospect.
Anyway, use the bathroom that makes you feel comfortable and don't be a creeper. My sage advice
