I don't want a man in a ladies room whether he's a father or whether he thinks he's a woman. I'm for single person bathrooms, which Lowes is building in newer stores. And they need to be relabeled, if they're now id'd for disabled, as "family" bathrooms that anyone can use. They need to become the norm or, at least, a choice in all stores.

I'm remembering a push decades ago in colleges for co-ed bathrooms. Made no sense to me then, but I'm wondering if that's what this push for allowing men into women's bathrooms came from. I think it was a liberal notion even back then.

Many stores have Family Rooms precisely for this situation

I have had a dad or two ask me to accompany their daughter when I was out shopping with my daughter.

On the whole I left my kid let at home unless we were shopping for something where she needed to be there

Since many women have been taught all men are rapists by radical feminism, no wonder these women are being triggered...by a normal loving father who would prefer to take his daughter into a ladies room...

Unless a person is just on another level of stupidity I would stay out of the women restroom.

Five years ago and more when we all were acknowledging that men are men and women are women, it was hard for dads with daughters. Still is I guess.

What is a good dad to do? Wait outside and hope there isn’t a predator in there and that she doesn’t need help?

As a mom I’d take my sons to the ladies until they were like four. They didn’t like it. But I feared predators in the men’s room.

It’s hard when you have little kids. The recent mencangointhrwimenstoilet makes it much harder. You send your small girl in there and wonder what she’ll encounter.

Might be a good idea. Replace multi stall restrooms with single use unisex units, ADA compliant. But then the voyeur and exhibitionist communities will protest about their rights being violated.

Most places call them family bathroom mostly for men with kids need help

I don’t like a hipster day bringing his four year old in the men’s room

I had two girls close together so they could watch each other or I would ask a decent looking mom to keep eye on the, while I waited outside

Toddler Boys in the girls room is different cause women usually have stalls so you don’t see much

In means room especially sports or airports it’s dirk digglers in a row or wannabes anyhow

Not a place for s young inquisitive lass

Thank sky take after raising five through that stage and two little girls alone

I’ve seen women change their baby/toddler in the men’s room more than once. And take their boys to the toilet as well.

Why is that different?

I mean other than “we’re entitled and they’re not”.

It’s wrong for a man to take his daughters into a bathroom. It’s ok for a man to go into a bathroom with girls he doesn’t know. Learn the rules.

If I had a four year old today, I would avoid public toilets outside of church, a ton of perverse people out there.

The worst thing I have seen is immigrants from the 3rd world piling up their used toilet paper because they don’t know they can flush it in the toilet.

Just nasty.

My wife is a stroke survivor and her balance has deteriorated such that it is just too easy for her to fall and get hurt. Public bathrooms are a struggle. We pick male or female depending on a number of things, like is one less busy, does the women’s room have kids in it as I won’t go into one if there are, etc. Women don’t seem to get hung up about me being in their bathroom and I make sure they know I am there. In fly over country, if we pick the men’s room, men will queue at the door to respect her privacy, which really touched me that there are still men In this world that would do that. I guess I am saying sometimes genders need to be in the other’s bathroom, as uncomfortable as it is.

When my daughter was that age I would stand by the entrance to the women’s restroom and give instructions to my daughter on how go in there and do her business. Invariably, a mother would offer to take her in there. This was in an era when you could still trust people to not do anything bad.

Hunh. Interesting how this single parent raised two daughters without feeeeeling the need to accompany them into the Girls restroom.

I remember that push for co-ed toilets on campuses as well -— about 1972. It was very ‘lefty’ and progressive to state your support for co-ed bathrooms. At the time I thought, ‘these are all college kids, on a safe campus where most of the men are reasonable human beings, and they don’t yet have kids’. But here we are. It’s apparently been a lefty wet dream forever.
