Time Magazine Columnist: Bathrooms are Sexist Against Women
Pundit Press ^ | 1/6/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 01/06/2015 3:22:17 PM PST by rightistight

Soraya Chemaly of Time Magazine has declared that bathrooms are sexist.

Ms. Chemaly published the article yesterday in Time’s “Women” section. The piece is called “The Everyday Sexism of Women Waiting in Public Toilet Lines.”

The author’s writes that “long lines for women’s restrooms are the result of a history that favors men’s bodies,” showing that, in fact, bathrooms themselves are sexist.

More than that, because women often wait longer in line to use the bathroom, restrooms are “frustrating, uncomfortable, and, in some circumstances, humiliating,” and even more, “a form of discrimination.”

Chemaly argues that bathrooms are inherently sexist because, she writes unironically, men and women’s “public restrooms continue to be facilities that are equal in physical space.” Equality in men and women’s restrooms is sexist, she explains.

If women made good enough engineers (like men) they could design a better bathroom for themselves. As a man I’m perfectly happy with the present urinal technology. If you build a better mousetrap....

Gee, that sounds like more male micro-agression against women.

Too funny!

We men go in, take care of business, don’t care if someone hears our noises that accompany a good elimination, wash up and get back to the bar.

Women fart around too much, and that eats up the clock.

“We’re standing in line because our bodies, like those of trans and queer people, have been historically shamed, ignored, and deemed unworthy of care and acknowledgement.”

Wow..this women is seriously mentally ill...

Well the only solution then is to build just one big bathroom with lots of urinals and stalls.

Togetherness will never be better than the last thing couples don’t share they finally can, bathroom time.

Women’s restrooms have been getting larger and larger in new construction, while Men’s rooms have been getting smaller. I call this story BS.

The whining of America continues. There was a time when “we” conquered a hostile continent. Now Americans whine because they don’t appreciate the restrooms provided free of charge. A little appreciation is in order.

Earth to Ms Chemaly——men and and women are NOT equals.

They are quite different.

"The only solution to this bathroom injustice is to get rid of capitalism.'

And of course -- ta da! -- higher taxes!
If you define yourself as male, you'll have to pay an extra 2% federal "facilities" tax when you file your taxes. You'll also be fined 1/2% for any male children you have. If you're one of those who can't decide what sex you are the IRS will assign a sex to you. The default is male unless you can prove otherwise. Just suck it up and believe it's all for the women boys.

In terms of luxury, I always thought women’s bathrooms were sexist against men.

Lucky for you we live in the enlightened age. Just “identify” as a man and feel free to go in the mens room and use the urinal.

There must be a Title IX pee protocol.

Equal amounts of urine must be dispensed in equal amounts of time. Either multiple the size of all female bathroom by a factor of 10 or only make one urinal available for the men.

As for unisex bathrooms, just get rid off urinals and make the men go German style - sitting.

Yes, because many women need to stand in front of the mirror primping and primping. I’ve spent more time standing in line to wash my hands than I have to get a stall to go tinkle.

I wish all these women would get over themselves with this sexist chit. Just go pee on a wall and then you can fart and spit whilst your at it and then call yourself a man and scratch.

I think it’s time that Soraya stand up and take aim at the problem.

Women sure as hell don’t wait longer at Nashville Titans stadium or the Predators arena

They built them that way due to femme outcry and municipal mandate

Girls walk right in...wait maybe one person..go in private stall and squat and let her rip

Men...wait 20-100 in line and go up to pissers right next to each other and splatter one another

Its ridiculous...and the c*ck shy are out ta gas

Better watch from home.

I detest fembot lizards

Yeah, I’m out of that business 15+ years, but codes were changing then to require more potties in the women’s toilets than in the men’s. Codes had required equal numbers, generally.

This is just another idiot feminist extremist making noise.
