The Absurd GOP

How, precisely, does this bill protect women?

Curious about that myself. I’ve been in dozens of public unisex bathrooms and none of them appeared to be rape zones.

There are only two reasons a man is in a women's restroom...

1. He genuinely and legitimately got confused, went into the wrong room, and shouldn't be judged at all in the same way a woman shouldn't be judged if she was to accidently walk into the men's. 
2. He is a pervert.

The law doesn't apply to number one, and I'll leave it to your imagination as to how allowing male perverts into women's bathrooms - a place where they are relatively isolated - increases the chances of women being harmed; besides the inherent emotional harm of perverts being allowed into what are traditionally private spaces.

And absolutely it works both ways; a woman has no place in a male's restroom, however due to sexual dimorphism this just isn't the same sort of security or practical risk as the counterpoint.
