“Some of our restaurants will have female only toilets in ADDITION to new gender neutral ones.” Big UK restaurant chain (and others to follow) scrapping ALL MEN'S TOILETS-but NOT all WOMEN'S ones....

Swear to God I will deliberately visit my local restaurant of this chain just to check they havent done this, and if they have, will deliberately use the female only toilets to protest until they call the police so it gets reported in the local news.

Im not taking this misandrist anti male rubbish a minute longer.

I urge other people to do the same. Direct action is the only kind these people will pay attention to.

The only reason they get away with this is because women make a bigger fuss about things than men.

By the way this same restaurant who claims to care about 'equal rights' while taking away from men, also doesnt pay basic wages to its employees and has been called out by human rights groups over that.

Here's a link to email and complain over the toilet issue

I feel like this would be offensive to trans people by saying all trans people are inherently male. I should ask my trans friends about that.

Are they trying to create female privilege?

This is the unofficial policy at the University of Toronto. Women use the men's washroom all the time, men's washrooms are de facto gender neutral.

But of course the male gender is the one that is sexually perverted. /s

Let's be honest, women are the real sexual predators of the modern era

“In making this move, we don’t want to infringe on women ~~others~~ – for example by just rebranding the women’s bathroom as gender-neutral. Our plan is not to take spaces away from women ~~people~~,” Farquhar said. “Some restaurants may have only gender-neutral bathrooms; some might have one or two female-only ones in addition.”

Ah well, the kitchen sink will suffice then

Identify as a woman and in you go

Part of me just thinks this is just women trying to combat the long lines by womens restroom by pushing everyone who isn't a cis female to the male restrooms

DavidByron2 · 2019-05-31T20:17:37+00:00

It's just the same as saying women can use men's toilets but not vice versa.

Since women (but not men) tend to be bigots about bathrooms I doubt much would change. Women's toilets are a lot dirtier than men's but women don't think they are. Really it ought to be men who want exclusive sex toilets --- avoid the blood.

You would think the trans community would be against this too since it is saying a M-to-F transgender is still not considered a woman.

Then some of your restaurants will have only female customers in ADDITION to gender-neutral ones".

DepressiveVortex · 2019-06-02T01:46:10+00:00

I'm not sure this as much a problem as us being made out, because of this:

When the changes are made, bathrooms at Wagamama will be private, rather than shared spaces

In other words they will all be separate? One or two will apparently be earmarked for women, which is sexist yes, but it's not as bad as men not having a woman-free space to use the bathroom, because no one else will be in there at the same time.

Wisemanner · 2019-05-31T17:55:28+00:00

I don't have problem with this - provided they are cubicle toilets, only. If any of these toilets have urinals in them, (a) I will not be using the toilet, and (b) I will not be visiting the chain. The only thing that interests me, is MY privacy. I am not interested in anything else.
