I mean, dude, seriously!
Nothing at all. We aren't talking about that. We're talking about you saying that toilet areas are never guarded or locked and me arguing that they are often guarded or locked.
In high-crime areas, they might well be. But you don't get to use the term "often" to describe a situation that doesn't apply to 99% of the bathrooms across this planet. This is called the "faulty generalization" fallacy.
Hell, when driving to Kansas City a few weeks ago, I accidentally walked into the ladies' room at a rest stop (they were right next to one another, and the sign placement was confusing enough that my exhausted-from-driving brain didn't notice), walked around for a few seconds before noticing the lack of urinals = ladies' room, and walked calmly back out to turn the corner into the adjacent men's room.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
