Dad's mission to have more baby change areas for men to use

It is happening in the USA. NYC actually passed a bill that all new buildings must have changing stations in BOTH restrooms (or ALL restrooms for the progressives amongst us).

Keep pushing, dads. I had to change my daughter in the bed of my truck more than once.

The solution is actually quite simple. If a business has a changing station for women but not for men, go to the counter, table, kiosk, whatever is closest to the central area of business (ie the cash register), sprawl out your child, baby wipes and a fresh diaper then change away.

Give it a week then return to enjoy the new changing station.

We fought this battle well back in the 80s, went to congress, got a bill pushed requiring them in airports. Now a part of the IBC (international building code), but that is where it has ended.

...and you guessed it, feminist were fighting us, saying they were not needed.

This is what makes me smile.

I want men to move away from this toxic masculinity of manly things and feminine things to do, but this can't happen if baby changing isn't accessible to men.

Well that was the worst possible way to explain this problem.

Most of the time the sign on the door says "woman" &" baby changing station" .

I view this as a list of things behind the door.. so you want the baby changing station, not your fault woman are in there in ENCLOSED cubicles having a shit.

Other ideas, self identify as a woman if anyone asks. :)

Having more than one seems redundant, it's not likely there's that much demand. Same goes for the bathrooms really.

Well done it's about time.👌🙂

just use any washroom, its clown world now. If anyone gets mad at you for being in the wrong bathroom just wait until they gender you and say..... it's mam

I have used the changing table in the women's toilet before when there wasn't one in the mens. No one said anything they all sort of just carried on! But my argument was that the sign on the door said baby changing and that's what I was doing.

I don't know where he's at but almost every bathroom I've been in has a changing station in the men's room. Books-A-Million has Neutral bathrooms b/c the needs vary. There are changing tables in both. If anything it should be a staple in every public restroom.

Some years ago I was in the Art Gallery of NSW, Australia, with my baby son in a pram. He needed to be changed but the only baby change facilities were in the Women's restrooms. So I changed this dirty nappy right there in the gallery while other visitors wandered past. A group of Chinese women gathered around us and seemed highly amused. On my last visit I noticed there are now baby change facilities in the Men's room.

This does put a smile on my face.
