With all the talk about bathrooms. Would you be comfortable sharing a bathroom with both sexes if all there were was stalls? Know of a company that does that and felt funny using a stall with a man next to me using one. He obviously was standing and peeing.
Perhaps if the stall went closer to the floor and higher to the ceiling. That would keep the pervs from peeking and trying to take pix.
I'm a guy - just thought I'd chime in. I don't have any desire to share bathrooms and presume most women don't either. I'm not opposed to the idea but think that sort of business is best left separate.
If there were walls between the stalls instead of flimsy bits of wood that don't go down to the floor or up to the ceiling, and if the doors were sturdy and locked properly then I'd consider it. Other than that I'd find a way to go elsewhere.
i've only used one unisex restroom. at the time i used it, i was the only person there. i really don't have anything to go on. nothing struck me as different, so i don't think i'd have an issue.
I don't think I would have an issue, if they were properly set up. I know sharing the restrooms with women over the years has taught me that some women are worse then men and are just plain slobs!!!
I DONT HAVE AN ISSUE W/ MEN AND WOMEN USING THE SAME RESTROOM.
I live with 2 guys, and I know how guys leave a bathroom! I prefer we keep the restrooms separate.
Definitely separate. Dang can't a girl pee in peace
it would take some getting used to, but ultimately i'd be ok with it.
Some bodily functions are best kept from the other sex. Actually all men's bodily functions should be kept to themselves. Except one, but that's more suited to the bedroom, than the bathroom.
A few years ago I did an exchange trip to a university in France. They had uni sex toilets there which were like shower cubicles with two saloon doors that openly swung no locks and two raised pads feet sized mid floor and a hole. On the back wall there was a moulded recess for your back should you wish to squat. And outside each cubicle there was a hand basin to was your hands and or feet should you not have aimed well. I found it highly amussing and the French just got on with it regardless as part of everyday norm. Some of our party were highly sensitive to it and made a fuss but as the saying goes when in France do as the french do. Atleast you werent sitting in it after somebody previous had messed up.
If everyone could just act normal, and clean up after themselves, I wouldn't have an issue with it. But I can just imagine that creepy guy in the bar ogling a woman from a distance follow her into the bathrooms. I would feel very uncomfortable doing my business, let alone being behind closed doors with some creep and no other witnesses.
They need to stay separate, but we have noticed some restaurant owners preparing for being forced to allow for choice. So they are making it impossible for both genders to be in the same room.
We eat out often, and I have noticed several places in the last few months that are remodeling their bathrooms so only one person at a time can use them. One friend of ours created 4 separate individual rooms with only a toilet and sink in each. Two of them had stations for changing baby's. These are complete walls from floor to celing with a separate lockable door on each in a hall away from the dining area.
We were in one this week that was an older restaurant and they had just remodeled their restrooms in a similar way. There was a lobby area with just a few sinks. There was 2 doors 1 for women on the left and 1 for men on the right. Stepping through those doors led to three separate doors the right and left door had just 1 toilet and 1 sink. These are totall separate rooms with floor to ceiling walls. The middle door was a station for changing baby's. I ask Hubbie to check his side and it was identical.
We ask the owner about it. He said if they are forced to let people choose which restroom they wanted to use he would eliminate the Women and Men signs. That way all could choose which one they wanted to use. But they were totally separated rooms and the changing station was placed to sound proof each room which also had insulation in all the walls. He said for now he will enforce the separation of women from men.
We thanked him for being so thoughtful. I look for new construction to have restrooms designed this way.
I just hope the men will be thoughtful to raise the seat and have good aim.

I wouldn't care provided there was privacy. The cubicles would need to floor to ceiling; walls and doors. There are unisex toilets on aeroplanes and nobody complains. They are private; just like at home.
I don't care about unisex toilets. If you have to piss and shit then why not use them. I have been to unisex toilets and I was not intimidated, in fact the guy who was using the bathroom mirror just said hi and went back to applying his eyeliner.
I have even went to male toilets because the womens had a line.
Around here most bathrooma are gender mixed, that is to say you have one room where you wait and wash your hands, then each bathroom is it's own area, not stalls but actual tiny rooms. Of course men has one of tthem separate just for them given certain anatomical features
I would rather there be more gender neutral public bathrooms. It doesn't bother me at all considering there are stalls. The only time I have ever been concerned was when someone entered a bathroom stall and was taller than the stall walls.
I have no interest in sharing. I leave our bathroom if my husband is in there farting and grunting while he poops. why do I want to hear a stranger doing that? This is all just an overflow from this political correctness stuff. I believe everyone should be able to lead the lives they want to lead but it shouldn't go so far as to infringe on the sensibilities of others. Why is it so important to have unisex bathrooms anyway? What point is trying to be made?
Transgender subject has brought this to the forefront and if you listen the Liberal American Press they will try and convince you that if a person feels more comfortable in a Rest Room designed for men They should be welcome there. even if you are still in transition from female.
If they are in conversion to female the same should be true.
Since we are all the same specie anyway.
If you follow their thinking to its logical conclusion, why should there be any portions, of any kind. Just go in and do what you need to do in one large room. Be you female or male or Transgender.
No Thanks I will pass and keep things just the way they are today.
