You are the only one who constructed a make believe argument out of a conclusion. There is no "us" inferring. You made up an argument in your head that was fallacious and then called me out for said fallacious argument. You then blamed me for not giving you an argument, but rather a statement. Is there a fucking rule that I have to give you premises and a conclusion for every statement of opinion that I make?

Given that it is the first argument I have made on the subject, I would say we don't have much of a debate.

Do try not to infer. I'm not afraid of penises. I woud prefer that they not be that close to my nieces when they are using a public restroom, unless it belongs to their father who couldn't figure out which bathroom to take her into and are nervously waiting for her to finish. You can see through cracks in stalls. If you want little girls to see penises . . . oh wait, that is unfairly inferring something from your statements, isn't it?
Quote:No, I just can't see any possible reason why somebody would fear penises in the women's restroom if it wasn't for fear of rape or assault. It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me at all.
Who said I was afraid? I said I would rather not have it happen. What I said I was even remotely iffy about was making it so men and women walking into the same restroom was so normal that no one thought to think twice when a man followed a woman into a bathroom or a little girl for that matter and it goes both ways.
Quote:What "harm" is this exactly?
Do you not find it harmful for a young girl to see a penis? Well, I would rather she did not. I would rather she not see vaginas that do not belong to her, either. However, that would hardly raise the question of genitalia. Children have no reason to be concerned with this. Now, you have yet to assert your views on this. I will go no further until I am sure I am not just wasting my time debating someone who does not disagree, but rather enjoys wasting people's time by making them state every nuance of their argument for no one's benefit. It's rude. So, where do you stand or have nice day? Up to you.
Missluckie, I have heard tell that women's bathrooms are worse. I imagine it is the bloody mess thing.
