Honestly I’m on the fence about this. There are probably some good reasons for this and equally bad reasons, but I don’t think the kids really care though.

A previous article was written by somebody in my neighborhood who was against this. Not sure she wants to talk to me anymore because I didn’t completely buy in to her side of it… she is 80 though. I’m not going to sit there and argue with an 80 year old lady in the street.

    Funny the author is furious but can’t articulate why. I’m not even sure what she is alluding to in regards to safety. Bathroom orgies? Poop knife fights? Tampon toss competitions?

    Unisex bathrooms make sense from a practical and rational perspective. However we don’t always live in a rational thinking world.

      Big pet peeve of mine is when the word safety is thrown around, and there is no actual safety concern presented. Just someone who is uncomfortable.

        In this case I think either the author can’t explain their position because it’s unacceptable and indefensible or they simply lack the critical thinking skills needed to fully explain their position. It’s likely a mix of both.
