I demand male rights now, I demand my own cubicle.
Women don't line up sitting together along one big trough.
This a declaration of female dominance.
This is the destruction of male rights.
It's the destruction of children's rights.
I demand equality now and every male toilet in the country needs to be changed at taxpayers and business owners expense to reflect this unhealthy and discriminatory practice.
I demand fines and penalties for sexism and discrimination to anyone that does not comply with this disgusting and discriminatory practice.

Lol.. Of course I'm only joking but this is the type of screwed up PC behavior that feminist social justice warriors and other minority groups would put forward as valid social issues...

What a lot of rubbish! We should simply stick with male and female toilets, any others should quietly sit down and try to determine exactly what it is, you are? Or as you've quite rightly suggested SHADOW MINISTER, adopt the French arrangement.

The ABC, tireless stirrer and spruiker of the 'rights' of alphabetical gender lifestyle choices must provide a rainbow (sic) spectrum of toilet choices for its staff and guests. There would be multicultural choices too one imagines. For example, Islamists would want to cup water to bathe their rears. Endless prayer rooms too one supposes.

Then there are the fembots who don't mind women->male trannies and would promote that as 'empowering' (and miraculously child producing), but they are dead against the reverse, men->women, which questions the feminist brand and way of seeing things.

Still, that $1.3billion pa has to be spent somewhere and it is only taxpayers money, after all.

Life is so complicated for the leftist 'Progressives'. They are reckoning on their totalitarian ideal of International Socialism to sort it. The Big State will tell'em (the public) what to do and 'Or else'!

While the moralising BS artists talk on, it is so often falling on the young workers to pay for them and to compromise their own plans and dreams in the process.

I wonder when young workers are going to revolt. They can easily carry an election, turfing out the professional career politicians who stack the Parliament, but first they are going to have to think for themselves and not swallow the BS of idiots like 'Little Wally' (thanks to Dame Edna, one of the few to challenge the political cant).

As for toilets, who can explain why women's toilets have become so filthy? It is that social change or diversity we have to have? Sharing toilets with men with similar disgusting habits and traditions - that see individuals at the hand washing basin washing their privates instead (black water splashing to the floor) and no soap for hands later - should not be foisted on women.

Government should be designing public toilets so that entry and exit does not require touching the door hardware and most important, the main womens toilets should have an attendant on hand to supervise and keep it all clean.

Bidets in public toilets, why not?

Armchair Critic,

I accept the point you are making about men's toilets being spartan (and usually attended to less often by cleaners). Also that men don't have the complimentary tissue and must drip into their underpants instead.

However many men are willing to stand in filth, be it in a toilet area or (say) in a public bar where shoes stick to the saturated carpet and most, not many, don't bother to wash their hands with soap after urinating and some don't bother after defecating.

The most noticeable changes have reportedly been in the women's toilets, where it is now not unusual for some women to clean themselves at the sink, after using their 'unclean' hand to open the toilet cubicle door on the way out as well. Regrettably, many women now 'wash' by dipping their hands in water and religiously avoid any contact with the soap provided. Then they tend their infants, handle goods in the supermarket and so on.

Australian culture has changed. Gross.

I would prefer to stick with separate men's and
women's public toilets. I prefer my own separate
cubicle and privacy.

But of course I realise that
this is not always practical - especially in places
like work, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels, thetres,
et cetera. Therefore, I would not put up a fuss at having
to share this facility with others.

"When you've got to go, you've got to go."

Foxy,

I don't believe you are bigoted, I believe that while toilets for men are simply a facility, for women they are also something of a refuge. If a leather clad biker can now enter a ladies on the pretext of "identifying" as a woman that will be lost.

That the safety and peace of mind of the 99% should be sacrificed for the 1% is what today's PC culture is all about.
