In the US at least, the women’s restrooms used to say “colored”
The reason we still have gendered bathrooms is because we didn’t change building codes for bathrooms and water fountains after segregation.
Huh, that makes sense.
They’re slowly getting more and more evil, don’t be fooled sheeple!
Bathrooms are a scam invented by Big Shit to sell more pooping
I mean…you are more right than you think.
Bathroom fixture manufacturers created a massive marketing/propaganda campaign around the idea of Hygiene, and the idea that its better for your health and safety, simply because they wanted to sell more fixtures…and the way to do that was to get more houses built with indoor plumbing facilities, because in the era before this… a solid chunk of the population still used outhouses, and bathed in portable tubs they filled with water heated up one pot at a time on a stove once every few weeks… if that. and because filling the tub was so much work, the whole family washed in it, without changing the water… usually the husband first, then the mother, then the kids in order of age got to bath in the bouillabaisse of mom and dads filth.
You’d be gobsmacked how many things like that are the result of marketing.
Milk being essential for bone health? Another marketing gimmick, from the dairy industry.
Diamonds are essential for proposals/weddings? Another marketing gimmick, from the diamond cartels.
and more.
Deodorant was first marketed to immigrants and that’s how it took hold. People mildly-to-seriously stank for all of human history and it just was, perfumes have always been a market too. But then someone was like “but what if we made these folks feel even more ostracized to sell them a solution”
And this began the “your body is fucking disgusting” cycle that now encourages us to literally coat ourselves head-to-toe in (eczema to cancer causing) chemical deodorants. Great.
Deodorant and I have never really spent much time together - perhaps because I live in a mild climate and don’t do much sports - but god damn do I love a hot shower.
Selling is a scam invented by Big Sales so they can sell more sales
When I was in college, it was funny how the engineering building only had one restroom per floor - they were all mens until like the 70’s, cuz wommin can’t be engineers of course.
Before the 1960s people just shat in the woods.
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Closest one to Vatican is like 10 min drive or 40-ish min walk. It’s most likely forbidden to shit there plus it’s also unlikely that he makes the trip every time he needs to go. They might have a secret forest hidden underneath the Vatican, however. We may never know.
Dan Brown knows the secret but he doesn’t want to say it. Dan Brown, it was in front of us the whole time.
Lmao. That was good, ty
Sometimes
What am I, a theologian?
Only is someone is there to hear it.
This is why i don’t understand why bathroom companies aren’t creating more genders in order to create more bathrooms.
But they have to be careful because otherwise people might realize it’s cheaper and easier to just label bathrooms with “sitting” and “sitting+standing”.
They could boost their sales to numbers not seen since the days of racial segregation
I’m all for all-gender bathrooms, but there MUST be at least two public bathrooms at any given spot. I can’t tell you how uncomfortable it is to take a first date to a museum, both need to use the bathroom, and walk into the single, silent, all-gender bathroom, and try to pretend you can’t hear each other doing your business. I assume gay folks have been struggling with this since the beginning, but y’all should have said something
I think we should get over hangups like this. Oh well you heard each other piss. Big pissing deal. If one or both of you were shitting that’s just bad date planning. Shit and get off before you go on a date.
I agree that societally we should get over it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an awkward activity on a first date
first date to a museum
You had me until this fake detail, don’t lie to us.
The torture museum in amsterdam after doing shrooms
Yes please - are you gay?
They needed to induce bathroom demand after the end of segregation
integrating this into my belief system
You wouldn’t download a bathroom
Of course not, you download to a bathroom.
I make an upload to the toilet a couple times a day.
I wouldn’t. Not as long as there’s free trees outside.
… climate change is a hoax by Big Bathroom to sell more bathrooms. MindBlown.gif
PSA: Don’t pee on trees, pee on rocks if available. Some animals will lick your dry pee off trees because they’re gross and this will hurt the tree’s bark.
Huh. Noted.
(My biology doesn’t easily allow me to pee ON trees anyway, if anything, it’s under.)
You’re just not trying hard enough. There’s videos out there.
Oh I know. That’s why I included that “easily” :)
Don’t worry. I don’t pee on trees. I pee on my neighbors.
Ah yes, the free and open source alternatives. I am not giving my money to big bathroom
free and open source alternatives
Oh shi-
That’s very good <3
Like how racism was invented by big Water Fountain?
Wait till you hear why the Pentagon has twice aa many bathrooms as they need…
In coordination with big bathroom!
I’m noticing a pattern here.
It’s sort of the other way. Buildings in the southern US before the 1960s, besides having gendered bathrooms, also had separate bathrooms for white and black people. So 4 kinds of bathrooms. The Pentagon today is apparently a bathroom user’s paradise, because it was built in the 1940s with enough bathroom capacity for all its users even having the 4 kinds of bathrooms. Then after desegregation, its bathrooms got consolidated into just 2 kinds (by gender). So it now has 2x more bathroom capacity per person than newer office buildings have.
are you sure its 2 times the capacity per person now? Because that makes no sense. Without additional info, there should be the same amount of people using the same capacity of bathrooms now.
Just the number of bathrooms usable per person has changed, so you are more likely to have a bathroom nearby. But you don’t have more room or more toilets per sé.
Jeez. I always thought IBS would prevent a pentagon job, maybe the Pentagon was just designed for IBS in a way.
I had to look this up. It seems gendered bathrooms are very old.
I cannot vouch for this site, but it introduces interesting history. https://historyqa.com/gendered-bathrooms-history/
(The version of history needs to be confirmed and scholarly sources I found have broken URLs.)
Nah, genders were invented by men to avoid giving birth!
I must be doing it wrong. I gave birth to some kidney stones years ago.
Do not reccomend.
Or by women so they have something to never shut up about. It’s been 55 years, mom!
Big Bathroom replaced my toilet with joke toilet that has a smaller hole that’s just for farts and now I can’t even take a shit in my own house!
YOU’RE NOT PART OF THE TURBO TEAM! YOU WALK!
SLOWLY!
