we all pee together when we pee

So, unisex bathrooms, C/D? And I'm not talking about single-occupant bathrooms, either. Should life be like the picture at the bottom of this page or are you quite happy with separate rooms for the boys and girls? Or have you never actually used a unisex multi-person bathroom?

All of the bathrooms at Hampshire -- except for some in the general-public-used buildings like the admissions office and whatnot, I think -- were unisex (which made sense since the dorms were, too). Aside from it hitting me, after a few days, that the reason the bathrooms seemed odd to me is that there were no urinals, and having the everybody-had-it-happen-at-least-once seeing-your-hallmate-mostly-naked moment, I rarely even noticed.

I think the pissing fixation on ILE is starting to get a bit out of hand. (This probably explains the spatters on the wall.)

NEVERTHELESS. When it's just the single-use washrooms (anything with a lock on the main door) I never worry too much about which I'm using, if I've really gotta go; the larger multi-user ones are a different story, but mostly because it's social convention I guess. I was in a hotel recently and was standing at the urinal when a woman waltzed out of one of the stalls, grinning at all of us. "The lineup for the women's was too long" she quipped, and it was true...there was a lineup of about 50 people out the door of the women's washroom. I didn't really see the big deal of sharing the washroom with a woman, really. So she might have seen someone's dingle. Big deal. I can't see it leading to looting in the streets, or anything like that.

Some of the unisex bathrooms I've been to had urinals.

Why do we feel the need to examine and change EVERY SINGLE FACET OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The unexamined life, blah blah blah. I mean, seriously, Western Civ is built on examining and changing every last little facet.

Tis gone too far. Toooooo farrrrrr!
Seriously though, this seems juvenile ('tee hee, i can see boys/girls pee now!')and different for the sake of being different.

Um, have you ever actually been to a unisex bathroom? For me, after you get off the initial shock, the reaction is "Wow, the rest of the world are psychotic for going through so much trouble to separate men and women from peeing. What's their problem?"

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

No I haven't, what does it matter?
Agreed, it is stupid to seperate, but it's even more stupid to make a big deal out of not seperating. I'm just put off by the trendiness of it.

I like it better when you're at a club with such a rawkus out-of-control scene happening that restrooms that are designated ladies/fellas rooms become a free for all of men, women, men-who-look-like-women, women-who-look-like-men, chickens, bouncers, Hello Kitty, etc.

You like watching HELLO KITTY PEE?

At my wife's college, they had unisex bathrooms. Nothing better than waking up to take a pee on a morning after a night of heavy drinking and hearing the hot girl on the floor taking a steamer.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

You can tell someone is hot just by hearing them in the shower?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, okay, so Hello Kitty wasn't peeing, there just happened to be this total coming-together of drag queens and butchies and straights and queers male and female alike and all sorts of folks in the "ladies" bathroom over Hello Kitty & other Sanrio stuff this particular Saturday night. Sanrio is like the glue that binds the fractally-splintered subsubsubcultures of Earth together.

sure.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Forget peeing. You know what's good? Fucking. I say we skip all the pretense and just talk about that.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Pooping is the issue. If it was just peeing, no big deal.

It's Pooping, I tell you.

Since when don't we talk about fucking?
