JR Tokai to install women-only toilets on Tokaido and Sanyo shinkansen lines

When they say women only, I hope they mean actual women, the traditional kind, with female bodies.

So that’s a reduction for people who might have a condition to jump into the closest toilet. It was perfectly fine before. There is no need for that debate cause they were for everybody. But some people have a desperate need and can’t wait for that one single male/female toilet to be free. If there is a toilet free people with a certain condition are now barred from using it. Bummer! No pun intended!

Here we go! By doing this, as they have with women-only cars, they are introducing the argument that it's now a woman's fault if she's assaulted in a regular toilet, and police will ask them, "Well, why didn't you use the women-only toilet?" same as they now ask women who were groped in regular cars why they didn't use the women-only car if one was available. It's not only sexist, but it delegitimizes any assault claims made in the non women-only cars/toilets.

There is no justification or logical necessity for women only toilets on public transportation.

It you need to "spend a penny" or in urgent need "passing a sturdy breakfast", having to search bent double for a gender relevant bathroom is tortuous.

Why should women get special treatment ? !

There is a men-only urinal on the train with a clear glass so everybody can see the guy using it

I was going to come on here and complain why women should get special treatment, when we are consistently arguing for equality. However, this is fair I believe. Men’s have urinals on the Shinkansen, so if women passengers increase it is natural they have more toilet capacity geared towards women. Just think of it as a women’s urinal.

Those bogs are for one person at a time. Or maybe you know something I don't.

There are urinals at my local station and they are exposed. Some men appreciate privacy too. I find it disgusting and backwards

Could the reason also be that as men we we often stand up to pee and the toilet seat, along with the floor in front of the toilet, often get messy?

Will they be additional toilets or replace existing ones?

Women can’t put the seat down. Single stall toilets should be genderless. No point. Can’t women put the seat down. It’s equally their job to do so. Lol

Why? What is the rational? If they are worried about a man hiding a camera, I have news for them, woman hide cameras too and profit from voyeur, illegal photography too.

Or are woman to "sensitive" to male donors? Female poop and gas smells too.

The rationale is that males (and women, etc. with penises) have dvd can use the urinals, but actual females (with vulvas) don't and can't. All of the sitting stalls were gender neutral (aka normality).

Will they also ban woman from using all other washrooms? Men will be shut out of a significant number of vital washrooms and woman will also occupy the gender-neutral washrooms. It should be illegal for them to not provide equal washroom accessibility to men

@ebisen

I kid you not, I was a man pooping in a urinal last week because the stalls were occupied and he had the runs.

The other option available for him was to crap his pants.

"I saw" not "I was." lol

Can we please have some consistency? One day it is "genders are fluid" the next it is " women only" toilets. Which is it? Are their women or what? Asking for a friend as I, and I think everyone else really knows the answer on this

Or you are just needless spamming something you know is divisive. One or the other.
