Political Memes

I visited Melbourne almost 10 years ago and I went to a place that had 4 individual toilets, instead of labeling man and woman, they were labeled as the Pokemon Go teams

According to a local I meet there they would change the signs every now and then and last month they were labeled after the Harry Potter houses.

moral of the story, all single occupant toilets are gender neutral by default

Rugged individualists hate them for this one trick.

Literally as dumb as colored bathrooms.

I got an idea...

Washing your hands? But... I'm in the Netherlands.

Its more like a kind of claustrophobia... in Japan, men's urinals are often visible from the door because the Yakuza used to use that as an isolated location in which to kill their target. (And despite the high cleanliness standards and widespread availability of public bathrooms Japanese people avoid them like the plague.) So it it a cultural expectation that women will get assaulted by men if they find themselves in a small space.

Yes, irrational. But people often don't behave rationally.

But it's supposed to be a sanctuary...

That's why the music plays.

That's why there's an antique typewriter in there.

This is speculation, but I would imagine that gender bathrooms were a Victorian era invention. Much of our current gender roles today were created during that era. I could be wrong though, does anyone have the history of gender specific bathrooms?

If it happens once, it'll happen again

And the sign is 3d printed to boot. :D
