but teenagers are hardwired to want to stay up until 2 am and then sleep in until ~10. it wasn’t your fault you did that. maybe if you had more discipline, yes, but you would be fighting nature.

you literally never answered my one, singular question.

it protects women by societal convention. a woman cannot legally say anything if the man is allowed to be in there, no matter what kind of threats he’s been making outside of it. if he comments on her being on her period or purposely tries to walk in on her. i don’t know how to tell you these things happen very often.

i actually don’t need to look at you because we’re not talking about you. and i don’t think my “argument” insufficient because you have yet to explain why it’s a bad idea to first ask around in case anyone objects.

no, but neither does prison stop all criminals. but it stops a good amount.

i don’t have a “position”. again, he should simply ask around and see if anyone objects. what are you so worried about if he does? that someone will object? the worst that can happen is he isn’t violating anyones sense of peace.

because we’re not talking about you. we’re talking about the women that work with OP. all i said was “ask around first” and i still don’t see a single problem with that.

we also don’t live in a vacuum. there’s a reason hidden cameras/spy cams have their own dedicated porn sites. men also regularly: steal womens underwear, follow women into bathrooms, make a fuss when they see period products in the trash, steal womens period products, track womens menstrual cycles, and most importantly, already have their own designated bathroom.

you can simply explain you are not a man. guess what, i’m also gender non conforming. i’m in a field dominated by men. i would still rather it stay segregated because i trust fellow women more than i trust men.

trauma/sexism/woman’s discomfort is often dismissed as “irrational”. i think womens comfort should be absolutely prioritized over a couple mens convenience. there’s literally zero harm in asking around first.

doesn’t mean women can’t feel uncomfortable about it.

historically, there were no public bathrooms for women and they could not leave the house for long hours. this law was created for equality purposes.

you may be making it severely uncomfortable for whichever woman may notice you using it. ask around first.

been helped out on the roads by kind people many times. the other winter a couple pulled over and towed my car out of the snow for me in the middle of the night. i don’t even know their names.
