HuffPo Article Claims Restroom Signs "Sexist" because Women Do Not Wear Pants in Them
The Social Memo ^ | 6/29/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/29/2015 8:22:10 AM PDT by rightistight

The Huffington Post is now claiming that the generic men and women on restroom signs are sexist, saying that women's restroom symbols are not wearing pants.

These and other complaints were compiled in an article published last week titled, "A Badass Feminist Coloring Book For The Powerful Ladies In Your Life." The article is literally just uncolored pictures of women, some of which have quotes and complaints about life in America.

One of the quotes actually complained about this:

The quote and picture accompanying the Huffington Post's complaint reads, "We live in a world that is so sexist that women still can't wear pants on public restroom signs:"

Here are some of the other pictures and quotes included in the article:

I always wondered when someone would point that out. These signs were a liberal attempt to impose their will on companies.

Instead of a ‘woman’ symbol, they just replace it with a penis with a red slash through it.

That would be offensive to the transgendered.

When I heard Limbaugh’s definition of a feminist back when I was a young teen in the 90s, I could not have imagined how spot-on he would be 20 years later.

Enough already just put up a sign “Public Restrooms at your own risk.” That applies to public pools as well. ;-)

You are a step ahead of me. I was thinking that, the symbols would have to be graphic in showing body parts to get the message across.

To avoid sexism in rest room signs all features that make any distinction between the sexes must be removed. Then all rest rooms must be open to anyone at all at any time. People then should generally enter public rest rooms armed and ready.

No, that would be called “implied rape”. I am not kidding. I wish I were.

In the OT there’s a passage/law that says “A son must not discover his father’s skirts” (Deuteronomy 22:30) or is it calling the father’s wife a skirt which in my grandad’s day it referred to a woman.

No. The signs were an attempt to eliminate language specific signage for the benefit of non-English-speaking persons.

It’s long past time the thinking class in this country stops getting tossed to and fro by a group of liberal malcontents.

These feminazis apparently cannot accept a world that nature has made them anatomically and emotionally different than men. They’re in a perpetual state of insecurity.

Maybe they could use images of Penises and Vaginas?

They need to learn English before they use the bathroom rather that traumatizing womyn by making them see an icon with a dress.

The dual sex restroom signs would be a hoot.

Why don’t we all just go potty out in the woods? In the city, between parked cars.

Can’t blame the woods or city streets for being sexist.

I’m willing to pee standing up, but it will be messy - even using hands.
