Men's bathroom and Women's bathroom in my office.

seems like a good way to make a pregnant woman piss herself

And here lies the question:

Was there ever an issue with men going into women's bathroom to attack them, that would have needed the keypad as a "solution" to that issue?

Because if the keypad was put in after a specific attack, then that's one thing (and understandable), but if it was put in "just in case" or because "better safe than sorry" - then all it does is make women feel unsafe. It makes women feel like the men around them are out to get them, and makes men feel stereotyped as an aggressor.

This - assuming there was no specific incident that prompted it - does more harm to women's "feeling of safety" than, well, "patriarchy".

Well women are weak and need extra protection while men are disposable and if they can't fight off a threat they're better off dead.

a keycode bathroom is pretty common here... but not just on one instead of both. we have a lot of vagrants in the city that will either try to bathe in the bathroom and make a huge mess or try to sleep in them.

You can make a sexual harassment complaint about this if you like. It's creating a hostile work environment by giving the (probably accurate) impression that your company cares more about its female employees, their security and privacy than it does it's male employees. This constitutes sex discrimination effecting your ability to work and is therefore illegal.

Put it this way: women would complain about this stuff. (In fact one probably did which is why they got special privileges)

Fact: Rape attempts only occur when you're going for a pee-pee

Is the keycode actually used? Perhaps this room was used for storing something relatively valuable and was later changed into a bathroom.

Theory number whatever, maybe the lock on the women's restroom broke and the key pad lock was what maintenance had sitting around.

I never understood the reason for this yet I see it in almost every office building I go in to.

Why are you looking for pointless stuff to whine about?

Where I'm from, the locks to the toilet are on the inside of the stall, so that the person pooping can lock the door from the inside. It seems needlessly complicated to have someone lock the toilet from the outside, and then call for them to unlock the door when you want to get out.

Also, I think this is a repost - or at least this issue has been raised before with very similar images, which I recall seeing. Or maybe its just deja vu...

FFS people, the keypad is there to stop unauthorized people from using the washroom.

BOTH washrooms lock from the inside.
