    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.

      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?

        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.
