lets talk about restrooms
i noticed that some female students in malcolm use the male's restroom. why? because the set-up in the building is, for all three floors, all the male restrooms are on one side while the female restrooms are on the other side. so if one unfortunately ends up on the opposite side of the appropriate restroom, you have to walk a considerable distance just to answer the call of nature and then walk that same considerable distance again just to get back to the room. not really convenient. thats why some female students who end up on the "wrong" side of the building use the male restrooms, specifically, the one for male faculty members. well, i dont think guys have a problem with girls using our restrooms. we dont really get scandalized when we enter the restroom and see a girl in there. actually, its the opposite, its the girl thats alarmed when the guy sees her use the guy's restroom, as if she was caught red-handed, and a bit embarassed to have been caught. she looked as if she wasnt expecting a guy walk in. i forgot to mention, the male faculty restroom is an enclosed cubicle, so that theres no way of knowing if someone's in there if the door is closed. so, its really "safe" for girls to use the guy's restroom. they dont have to worry about perverts since the only way a pervert could see the girl using the restroom is if she forgets to close the door which is highly unlikely, if not impossible, or if a guy climbs on the sink and look over the wall (and that would be a sure indication the guy is pervert because he would have to go great lengths for a useless peek). so guy restrooms could actually be unisex restrooms as long as theyre not only urinals. i mean, having cubicles is enough. and i dont think a guy would peek or force himself in a cubicle. the only thing people have to worry about is using the restrooms for other purposes which is one good reason why men and women should have separate restrooms. but thats really concerns horny people and not people who have legitimate reasons to use restrooms. well, if guy restrooms can be considered as unisex restrooms, the other way around doesnt really follow. guys cant use girls restrooms with ease compared to girls using guy restrooms. why? if girls are scandalized of being seen using the guy restroom, they are more scandalized to see a guy in their restroom. if guys would just ignore the girl and pretend as if he never saw a girl in the restroom, the girl most likely would react differenty. the guy would be lucky to receive just a frown or a look of disapproval. well, thats merely an assumption. havent seen a guy use a girl restroom before, and not sure if anyone had dared. but then again, its more dangerous for a girl to hold it in compared to guys so it could mean that since girls have more pressing needs to use the restroom they have more of an excuse to use guy restrooms than guys using girl restrooms

This is an interesting post. I live in the UK and have used various public toilets. I agree that the girls do have more pressing needs to pee as their toilets/restrooms are often a lot busier than the mens’ and they often have to queue outside. On a few occasions little girls have gone into the mens' with their fathers, but on a couple of occasions older girls have used the men's loos too. One time a girl of about 11 came into the men's with her slightly older brother - The brother peed at the urinal while the girl used one of the cubicles. The other guys in the mens' didn't seem bothered by this and neither was I.
So, I'm quite happy for girls to use the mens' loos provided they're under the age of 13. Okay – so they may catch a peek at the guys but that really wouldn’t bother me or others I’m sure. I think it would be a little embarrasing to be seen peeing by a teenage or older girl/women etc. hense the age limit. But at least this way girls/ladies wouldn't have to wait so long at their restroom so this would make sense I feel. Just my opinion.
