It was a few years ago at a rest stop on I-65 in Indiana, where I noticed some guy brought his daughter into the Men's room with him, I assumed so he could keep her with him. So there were the urinals there, but it wasn't anything too outrageous, but OTOH, I did notice.
Then when I was leaving and was a few feet beyond the door, a black guy came out ... just a regular guy, I thought, but he was a black guy, and he addressed me openly, "Was that a girl in there?", I said yeah I thought her dad brought her in. He shook his head in dismay.
Could have been an old film cliche, but I think it served to show that there is a conservative streak in traditional black middle class society.
“...where I noticed some guy brought his daughter into the Men’s room with him”
I’ve seen this more and more over the years. I think dads are afraid of leaving their young daughters alone in public restrooms, but also don’t want to barge into the women’s room.
Times, they are a-changing.
