Mizzou Renames ‘Unisex’ Restrooms Because Term Isn’t Inclusive Enough

The University of Missouri (MU) is renaming its “Unisex” restrooms on campus in response to complaints that the current label isn’t inclusive.

Henceforth, restrooms intended for use by both men and women will simply be labeled “toilet.” The change is apparently meant to accommodate student complaints that the “unisex” label, intended to encompass everybody, is actually exclusionary and hurtful.

“Unisex is just such an uncomfortable and outdated word,” MU student Sterling Waldman told the Columbia Missourian. The word, Waldman said, excludes people who identify as neither male nor female. Waldman serves as the social justice chair in MU’s student senate, and successfully pushed for the student government to donate $5000 for the sake of relabeling bathrooms around campus.

TOILET?

Which genius came up with that one?

*Shaking Head*

Any wonder why freshmen enrollment is down nearly 30%?

[Rurudyne]

Want inclusive?

“Men”

“Women”

“Nitwits and Idiots”

... there, that’s plenty inclusive.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

That is so gay.

[Tax-chick]

They could call it the head. Unisex is a stupid and inaccurate term.

There is the problem right there.

Additional student enrollment attrition in 3,2,1...

The "social justice chair?" That these pseudo intellectual clowns go largely unchallenged on campuses is the ultimate nail in the coffin of academic credibility.

For a few thoughts on the subject: "Social Justice"--Not Social & Not Just.

You might live in a repressive society if The Powers That Be are obsessed with how you go to the bathroom.

Vacuum. Filled.

Why not OMNISEX? That should cover them all.

If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Oh well.

There we go with feelings again.

[HiTech RedNeck]

But the word toilet contains the word toil. What about people who cannot work hard? Will that bother them too?

[WMarshal]

How about “bathroom?”

[KarlInOhio]

Just close the restrooms and issue each student a chamber pot. That way they can take their $#!^ home with them for recycling at the end of classes. And don't talk about privacy - you threw that away when you said "anyone drop by" about your restrooms.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think they want to lose all references to sex at all.

Anyhow, I suggest a good answer here is to rise above this stuff — let these storms rage on without trying to take sides in them ourselves. People need the Lord, as they always have.

How about Bathhouse?

Many probably are.

“Unisex is just such an uncomfortable and outdated word,"

How about Neuter? ZPG advocates could get behind that, I'm sure.

Waldman serves as the social justice chair

Social justice is such an outdated term, use Commi-czar instead.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I wasn’t aware that these toilets/whatever had no doors or locks, so I am not sure about the privacy cavil here.
