Sweden Aims for "Gender Neutrality"

[Violet]

Because men need a place to pee without having to worry about the seat being down or getting a few drops on the rim of the toilet. Also, the urinals help us get in and out quickly.

Who says you need to sit down or stand up? As if those were the only options.

I swear, the lack of creativity in people is astounding. Either that... or people hate the very concepts of squatting or bracing themselves.

* Violet can't even relate how disturbingly hilarious and revolting it is to enter a male bathroom and see them all in a row with their dicks out.

Not that I really can enter a male bathroom anymore... I pass too well

I'm going to abandon this though, since neither of us is going to admit defeat.

I've seen both sets of studies. All y'all are only half-right... but that's still being half wrong. Yes, women can (and do) do horridly abusive things to others. Yes, the fields of rape and molestation are particularly dominated by men.

Yes, it is less societally acceptable for a man to complain about being raped than it is for a woman to do so... and in (almost?) all cases the victim loses (I'm not even sure what's to be gained by reporting such things if they are no longer happening).

No, we're not equal... but then we aren't insanely far apart either. Anyway, here Shelly:

And regarding men being (even) less likely to report it
