    idk why you’re downvoted, I agree. gendered bathrooms are pointless; it’s not like people get naked there anyway. and fuck urinals. they’re dumb.

    that being said of you’re gonna have gendered bathrooms you can’t police genitals; gonna have to go with the honor code.

    it’s all pointless and the security excuse is bullshit. it’s ridiculous that these rules would assume a rapist wouldn’t get deterred by the laws against rape but would totally be stumped by a fucking sign that says “biological”.

        it’s in the open, it usually allows splashback, also peeing standing up is not that good for you anyway. not washing after you shit is quick and easy too; doesn’t mean it’s good. speaking of which, I think urinals encourage people who don’t wash their hands because it’s quick and easy.

            while there isn’t much difference for healthy men (at least according to some research so far), for some people with urinary concerns sitting down is better for emptying the bladder and having a better flow. although I’d argue even with healthy men standing while peeing almost guarantees splashback so sitting down is superior either way.
