| the idea that these two situations are comparable is a fallacy. most bathrooms have only one entrance. that means women are trapped in there should a man enter. until men suffer rape, physical violence, and murder at the hands of women at a comparable rate women do from men let's not pretend these are the same thing. i'm also baffled at how "entitled" applies to having to pee. like it's some privilege women should earn? | |

| " rape, physical violence, and murder" Aren't we talking about intermission time at a Broadway show? How much rape, violence and murder can we have in 15 minutes in a crowded ladies room? db | |

| First off, dragging issues of rape and abuse, etc., into a question solely of privacy is irrelevant. This is not some issue about retribution for past or present abuse of women. If your perspective is that it justifies my privacy being invaded, then I say rubbish. It's fine if you're not troubled by women sauntering into the men's room, but there *are* separately marked restrooms. And you know full well that the entitlement isn't about women being allowed to urinate, so don't muddy the issue. "Entitled" applies to privacy. Women are "entitled" to use their separately marked restroom. And I'm entitled to pee in privacy in the men's room. If your attitude is devil-may-care, fine; just don't presume to impose it on others. | |

| sorry. hit post too soon. the rest of your post makes more sense if you're talking about women skipping lines just for convenience rather than those facing more of ... an emergency. the problem is how do you distinguish between the two? is there some interview process women should go through before they enter a stall? bottom line: who cares? they're going in there to go to the bathroom for christ's sake. and the idea that women going into the men's room = men going into women's restrooms is ridiculous, specifically for the reasons i gave. if you feel like you can argue that they are go right ahead but i suspect you'd just be wasting our time. | |

| Precisely why men shouldn't be allowed in the women's room, and why women shouldn't be allowed in the men's room. There's no need to discomfit either sex, no matter that a woman might have a more intense reaction. | |

| between having to go to the bathroom now and a feeling of discomfort felt by what i suspect is the few rather than the many which do you think should attended to first? one seems to easily outweigh the other. | |
