i do think sports have educational value, teaching teamwork and discipline and health. i learned more from cross country and marching band versus everything else combined. but i definitely agree about the ridiculous funding disparity, though, no extracurricular should be getting more funding than core classes
my hot take is that sports and bathrooms shouldn’t be gendered. i understand the “seperate but equal” clause doesn’t include gender, but it should, given the better funding and accomodation boys sports get over all but the best girls teams. siloing off genders has catastrophic cultural consequences- “locker room talk” shouldn’t and wouldn’t exist otherwise, plus the whole trans rights thing that shouldn’t and wouldn’t be an issue
Unisex restrooms are already a thing. Is there a statistically significant increase in reported harassment that occurs in them when compared to single-sex restrooms?
Unisex restrooms are single occupancy in the US, maybe not where you’re from. Another note, I am 100% certain you are a man or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Back on track, you want possible rapists sharing a private space with women? A space that, by definition, can’t be monitored or recorded?
Parking garages are unisex! Ask the women in your life how they feel about walking through one alone at night. How do you think they would feel being even more vulnerable, with their clothes partly off?
I feel you’ve mistaken the way the world should be with the way it is.
How would one gather data on a thing that largely doesn’t exist?
Here’s a quick result I found. Unfortunately, most of the search returns are about transgender issues, not our topic here and this one is on locker rooms. 🤷🏼♂️
In any case, if women are leary of parking garages, you think most would be OK with sharing a bathroom with a man? If you’re really a woman, you weren’t born that way and didn’t grow up with the dangers, or you’re in a rare place on Earth where women are perfectly safe from men.

Do you really want boys sharing restrooms and locker rooms with girls? I think the girls may have something to say about that.
I don’t think bathrooms should be segregated by gender at all.
I should note for the lemmings constantly on the lookout for anti-LGBT shit, this is not a trans thing.
Do you think women, of any age, want to share a restroom, with no cameras, with possible rapists?

I’m not a man.
You didn’t answer my question about the data. Is there a statistically significant increase in reported harassment in multi-occupant unisex restrooms?
