The comments and debate on this are fascinating. 1. As a girl dad, I would never even consider taking my daughter into the women’s room when she was in training. 2. Apparently, the general thought on men’s rooms is that there is a gay orgy taking place at all times. 3. Commenters have clearly never cleaned a public restroom; the men’s room is always cleaner.

Media today: When middle class liberal women were having their knees stroked by leering CEOs, it was worthy of a global movement. When 12 year old working class white girls are having broken bottles and baseball bats inserted into them, it's not worth bothering with.

"A father can just announce himself before taking his girl into the women's room." Okay, but why isn't that a possibility for the men's room? It's like we're assuming that men as a group can't behave with basic courtesy and situational awareness.

This is still one of my favorite moments ever on X.

This is not true. I’ve been doing elimination communication with my infant and she wakes up with dry diaper and pees upon waking.

Got sucked into the debate on the dad with his daughter in the women's bathroom. He should have taken her into the men's bathroom, full stop. And for all the people saying they would never want their 3-year-old daughter in a bathroom with men... The stalls have doors, you know. She's not just on display. Fast forward a few years, and your same logic holds with the opposite effect. Imagine that your daughter is now a teenager. Do you want her in the bathroom with a bunch of men, just because they happened to have their young kids with them? By the logic people are using, you have to pick a poison. Except it's not really a poison because the kid is behind closed doors!

What happens if the father has to pee? Are we allowing him to use the women’s facility? No, men should use the men’s. You tell your girls to cover their eyes and go into the men’s, take the big stall.

This post is hilarious for what it implies but does not state. He concluded that him doing nearly equal domestic tasks to his wife made his marriage worse. He does not disclose how it got worse or what caused it getting worse, only that he was forced to step up because of his wife's postpartum issues. It is reasonable to conclude that what made the marriage worse is that he was not happy about doing these tasks, and viewed a near equal split as too much of a burden. He probably did not conceal this from his wife, who because of her medical issues, likely was not at all charitable (and rightly so) to his complaints. This reminds me of the studies that show that men feel that women are equally contributing to a conversation if they talk 30% of the time, but if they talk 50% of the time, they are "dominating" it. It also reminds me of the messy breakup I witnessed between two mutual friends. She told him she compromised so much for him, like forgoing lucrative overtime to go over to his mother's house on a weekly basis to help her with tasks her mobility issues complicated. His "compromise" was not cheating on her in a monogamous relationship, even when he "knew" a female coworker was into him. Studies show that many men believe they do not need to put as much into a relationship as their female partner does. With that data in mind, the conclusion is that many men perceive equality to be a threat to the benefit they believe they are entitled to in a heterosexual relationship, and find the relationship itself "bad" the more benefit their female partner derives from it. I don't think I need to tell reasonable people that judging your own relationship in such an adversarial manner was likely the actual cause of this man's dissatisfaction, not the house chores he was doing.

You think women are doing this for other women??? Or just for giggles?

If you are fully functional you don’t have a disease. Part of the diagnosis of a disorder is the malfunction.

The problem is that families board together. You’re not going to get families to separate from each other for boarding in order to sit faster. This is why random seating was actually the best.

Upgraded to a bf who is obsessed with me and it absolutely is true.

There’s no mechanical advantage. Many of these are more difficult

ok but the only reason women’s clothes (and dresses in particular) have functional pockets these days is because millennials made a big deal out of it. like i cannot impress upon you how 90% of women’s jeans never used to have pockets you could put anything in. JEANS ffs

Once my mom and stepdad got scammed by a guy who knocked on the door and offered to fix the dents in their cars outside. He pretended to work on the cars, took the money, and then fled. My stepdad said the weird part was that the man did most of the correct steps to fix the dents, and obviously knew how it worked, but just decided not to finish it. That's when I first saw a glimpse into the spirit of a scammer. It's not laziness or incompetence that drives them. Oftentimes the scammer works harder at scamming than they would at an honest job. What drives them is the incessant need to be better than everyone else to "get one over on" others. It's a truly perverse and awful way to live.

This is a question both of you guys are gonna have to solve though. You can laugh and say "You don't have a right to someone else's labor" which is true. But someone with no money right now can't just wander into the woods and hunt or trap. People can barely even grow anything due to things being stripped bare with no yards and apartment living. One side needs to solve the: "what is the minimum expectation to contribute to society where one can without it being perceived as punitive in order to eat?" and the other side needs to solve: "if someone can't go into the woods because of resource management and just get food then what can they do if there are no jobs someone is willing to give them and they also can't get a loan to start their own business"

These superhero movies never consider physics and what the g forces of a superhuman moving a regular person would do to the human body.

it’s all funny haha “men wanna fuck other men” but what they actually want to say is that there should be a subgroup of women like prostitutes who hold no value or respect and exist to be passed around until a man wants a ‘respectable’ woman for marriage

Parent: "Hitting people is wrong." Child: "Okay." Parent: Hits child Child: "So... hitting people is wrong?" Parent: "No, no. It's wrong when YOU do it." Child: "But you're doing it." Parent: "That's different." Child: "Why?" Parent: "Because I'm bigger." Somehow we're all supposed to pretend this is a coherent moral philosophy.

Yes, period huts are back. Because girls just aren’t embarrassed and awkward enough about menstruation. But what happens when the trans-identified boy feels excluded from the period hut? What if he feels less of a girl? Perhaps it would be easier just to tell girls to stay home.
