No one cares more about if you have a penis or not, and wants to see it, than a totally straight, god fearing, Christian republican.
Maybe in the USA. In Québec (Canada), I believe that the general public is just about ready to accept one big bathroom for everyone. Stop gender segregation. Also, build the bathroom better. Make the stalls be tiny rooms instead, with a real door.
That is kinda crazy and a waste of life. There are alot of sadists in the world today.
Conclusion: transphobes have trans envy
Those American bathroom stall gaps are wild.
I’ve been formulating an essay for a long time now about how American bathroom design - At least men’s rooms, as I’m a man - Is proto-fascist homoerotic cultural enforcement, how it relates to the butt-slapping genital pranks of cis sports locker rooms or the blackmail-generating hazing of fraternal societies, and the extremely suspect fact that in our individualized and privatized society stripped bare of spaces for intimate social interaction, the one place that we are in fact forced to interact on an intimate and revealing level is also the one spot that is supposed to be the most private and individual. I also want to explore how it possibly relates to circumcision, in that both things seem to be the society asserting the ownership of one’s gender in a coercive fashion, as if to lock the individual into their role in the society and remind them of that fact every time they’d seek to be alone with themselves.
American bathrooms are an insane psychological knot.
I think American stalls are designed that way specifically to make them less private in the hopes it will keep people from boning or doing drugs in them. Just another facet of American life made worse with puritanical/punitive culture.
You’d think after a lifetime of not actually working in that regard we’d just use a normal fucking door. 🤷🏻♂️
Also, FunFact: if you enter a bathroom in the US and the lighting is really blue: that literally is to stop drug use. Veins are blue, and if the lighting is blue you can’t see them well enough to shoot up.
The blue light also doesn’t work. Junkies figured out how to turn on the cell phone flash light.
Then there must be wild drug-fueled orgies happening at Buc-ee’s, but nobody has ever invited me to join.
Call it puritanical but why would you want people banging and shooting up in the washroom?
That’s not the point. If someone is gonna fuck or shoot up in the bathroom they’re going to. The little perv gap we have isn’t gonna change that.
Puritan ideas themselves aren’t really about helping people to be more “pure”. They’re about subjugation, control, and maintaining a patriarchal structure.
We’re lucky they even have doors, half the schools I went to in conservative towns ripped them off to ‘keep kids from smoking’ in the bathrooms.
I think they just have a fetish for watching people shit.
