Your Daughter Must Share a Restroom With a Man, and You Will Be Compelled to Agree
CNSnews ^ | 4-21-2016 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 04/28/2016 4:54:25 AM PDT by servo1969

The rules of bigotry, according to the left, represent a constantly shifting kaleidoscope of nonsense.

This week, we learned that if you don't want your small daughter sharing a restroom with a man who thinks he is a woman, you are a bigot; if you are a woman who is uncomfortable with a man who thinks he is a woman whipping out his male genitalia to urinate in front of you, you are a bigot; if you are a religious person who doesn't want to participate in an activity you consider sinful, you are a bigot.

Conversely, if you are a man who thinks he is a woman and you want to force a small girl to pee next to you, you are a freedom fighter; if you are a large man who thinks he is a woman and you want to be one of the girls, right down to hulking into a Macy's ladies room, you are a hero; if you are a gay man and you want to force a religious person to serve you, you are a hero.

If all of this seems odd, that's because it is.

It's obviously logically incoherent, to begin with. The left insists that a man who believes he is a woman must be treated as one, even if his biology dictates that he is a male. However, if a man believes he is a man, he cannot discuss vital issues of national import (like abortion) since he lacks the vital prerequisite: a womb. Men cannot understand women, the logic seems to run, unless they are women.

But men cannot be women, of course, except in the fevered imaginations of people on the left. Even the left doesn't believe that: Leftists simultaneously want to enshrine unchangeable sexual differences (although, according to them, men and women are inherently and unchangingly different with regard to their abortion perspectives) and deny that these differences exist in the first place. (Caitlyn Jenner's twig and berries are irrelevant to the issue of gender, they say).

"This is nonsense," you say.

"Shut up," they say.

In the end, leftists don't have to be coherent -- they just have to control the government gun.

The baseline definition of freedom in Western Civilization has been this: You do not get to force me to serve you, and you do not get to force me to think the way you want me to think. As follows, you cannot force me to think that you are a woman if you are a biological man. You cannot force me to spend my taxpayer dollars to pretend along with your mental illness. You cannot force me to run my business as you see fit because I have no affirmative duty to you.

But the left doesn't believe in freedom -- except the freedom to destroy the right. Thus, leftists believe that Bruce Springsteen has an absolute right to cancel concerts in North Carolina, but that bakers in North Carolina can't stop baking wedding cakes for same-sex couples. The left believes that the government must compel elevated pay rates for women, but government should compel men to be treated as women based on their subjective feelings on the subject.

The kaleidoscope of leftist morality never stops shifting. But in the end, only one moral counts: the left's ultimate insistence on use of government force to compel obedience to their kaleidoscopic morality.

I’ll point out in Europe....we don’t have this trend and if it ever comes up....I think the French and Germans would just establish a key system where you go and check out the key to one bathroom, do your business, and lock up....returning the key. There’s plenty of unemployed people and you’d just make them key-monitors and ensure only one person at a time uses the facilities.

Some small businesses are merely putting signs that read “Bathroom”, the bathroom is a one person unit.

Only a scumbag, perverted commie RAT would think that men not being allowed to use the ladies room was a big problem. Now that’s what I call “fundamental transformation”.

If every father of a daughter and every husband of a wife left the seat lid down with urine dribbled all over it and a puddle on the floor of the women’s room this nonsense would end post haste.

IOW, men, treat the women’s room like the men’s room.

In Korea, they only have one bathroom for all. They have 10 stalls but shared sinks. Not a big deal but they have very few child molesters unlike America.

Maybe they have REAL laws with REAL consequences for offenders... THAT is what keeps the offenses down

That’s the approach they’re taking for new construction. Two new restaurant/bars in my town have 6 single-use restrooms in place of two traditional restrooms.

How long before this is depicted as passive aggressive toward tranny’s? How long before we’re told we must have group bathrooms that allow freaks to invade our space?

They are certainly more strict over there.

Or maybe they have the same percentage of child molesters as the United States does, but it's covered up, as it was here up until a couple of generations ago.

“IOW, men, treat the women’s room like the men’s room.”

You make a good point. Most women don’t even sit all the way down on public toilets if they are relatively clean.

As a man I’ve seen pure nastiness in men’s restrooms with dribbles all over the seat, and the floor. Women aren’t going to use that.

Building six bathrooms will be an expense small business owner can ill afford.

The emphasis put on men using the women’s room spotlights the possible intended perversion factor. Most women couldn’t care less about using the men’s room.

The left is so focused on sex and perversion it’s pathetic. They’re like pre teens just dis coving the fascination of their own genitals.

We are going to start looking like Saudi Arabia where men have to accompany women everywhere so they don’t get raped by the perverts the elite nurture and love.

I guess we’ll have to accompany our sisters, daughters, and wives into the restroom, saying you’ve discovered your inner lady. Who’s to say othewise? Will there be courts of truth for gender dysmorphia?

That way, we can protect them.

I don’t understand what your point is. Are you saying that if the women’s bathroom becomes as disgusting as the men’s bathroom, then men - including cross-dressers - will stay in the men’s room?

That reminds me, I need to have my sons clean some bathrooms.

Once they are tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, to save time, the members of the Traitorobama regime should not mind sharing a noose.

No, just train our daughters with guns.

The problem will be taken care of shortly after that. Those peeping Toms or perverts who are left alive will be too afraid to use a woman’s restroom.
