I really would hate to be a woman..
Here's the thing..........
No woman president yet....religious ridicule.........no power..
Men making a complete mess of things and coming up with different forms of bull every day and all you do is follow.
It's a man's world and you lot are second class citizens
50% of humanity are silent voters.
What kind of a democracy is that.
We need a civil war and I volunteer to be a spy for your side.
Help me help you! raj -
that's hysterical coming from you because your avatar looks like such a scholarly straight forward guy. Which is worse - the weight and inconvenience of the chest or the dangling agressiveness between the legs? Too funny.

The one between your ears?
Women do have alot of power we just prefer to keep it in the background and let the men have the glory. And Why not? Being in the spotlight all the time can ruin your complexion...what does a man care.
The sun outshines the moon yet the moon has power.Ppparently as 2uesday wrote abaove somewhere
"Hence we are about to enter a new era of women being able to hold their own."
So not only the right but the ability - gotta see that

It's probably all depends on your culture. I grew up in a place where women were treated equally, and behaved and worked equally hand in hand with men. And they did hard physical work too! Though sometimes they could not lift heavy things, then men would help them, usually without even asking, because nobody expected them to be able to do that. And if something happened to a man, his woman became the master of the household and continued to govern everything or would hire somebody to help, but she would be the master anyway, and no one would be surprised. I do not feel the need to be a man. I do not see the difference, other than gender. A man has some organs that are shaped differently, some hormones that work differently, so what? I do not want to be a president anyway - too much hassle. I'd better cook dinner.
if you are not happy being a woman you'll be equally unhappy being a man, garanteed! It's not your gender that makes you happy, it's your attitude towards life. Is there a queue?
A few ago months during a party in London, I was going to the toilet when a man came out -leaving it dirty- I ordered him to clean it up for me, before I went in. (just in case you are wondering, yes he did it, and I went in to use a spotless toilet)
Did I mention that he was 1.90cm and I am only 1.60cm...?
Want to talk about girl power?
BTW, the only reason why you would walk nonchantly infront of me would be bad manners!
Yeah and don't forget the Queen.
Actually we're not as backward as that...I can do anything I want to do and still wear my mini-skirt without being stoned to death.
By-the-bye...sometimes men come in handy
P.S. Speaking of power, my mini-skirt has stopped trucks.Margaret Thatcher does not count
Or may be not at all...
I love being a woman, mostly. I suspect if I were a man I would love it similarly. I think we get to hung up on the battle of the sexes. If we balanced power between the sexes we might find things work more smoothly and fairly as we would function on more of a middle ground area. Operating to one extreme or another never ends well

Ok, luabu, you've tipped your hand. I've been saying the world is full of idiots for some time now. Don't throw yourself into that pot, please. The reason 50% of the world is undermotivated by comparison is because they don't have the testosterone level of men. I do all my own driving. Men want to drive my Jeep but, no, sorry. I bought it, I drive it. I drive my world, no one else. The reason women's toilets are backed up (pun unintended) is partly because of our anatomy and partly because men can 'go in the woods'. You're right about the people who design these facilities, though. They haven't figured it out yet. So you're on a man-hating kick right now. You're not the first and you won't be the last. Do something about it procedurally and move on. Make it you're life's work. Run for president if you think you've got the cahones. You seem a bit out of touch with the average woman of age and experience. You are very in touch with toilets, however.
Yeah, this.
Thousands of years of patriarchy do not vanish overnight. Honestly, I'm pretty pleased with how far we've come, considering that there are still people alive today who were born when women didn't even have the right to vote.
As for the OP's strange obsession with bathroom lines, if he's really so concerned about women's rights, minor inconveniences like that should be the least of his worries.
"we have to vanish it asap"
By insulting and belittling the opinions of the female contributors to this thread, you're not exactly helping the cause.
Yes, there is such a thing as internalized misogyny. That's why it's generally women who arrange for their daughters to be mutilated in societies that practice FGM, women who order their daughters-in-law to be burned in dowry murders, and so forth.
But if a bunch of different women from a bunch of different backgrounds, countries, and positions on gender equality (including both rabid feminists such as myself and rabid non-feminists such as Brenda) are telling you that the public toilets thing isn't nearly as big a deal as you're making it out to be, maybe you should consider that it's not as big a deal as you're making it out to be.
The first rule of being an ally is listening. Sailing in as a member of the dominant group and informing us that you know our problems better than we do ourselves is scarcely better than patting us on the head and telling us not to worry our pretty selves about anything because the big strong men will take care of everything for us. It's counter-productive and, frankly, offensive."whats wrong with asking women to vote for women because they are women"
Internalized misogyny, remember? If I were going to vote for a woman for no other reason than that she's a woman, then I might be stuck voting for women such as Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle, Meg Whitman, etc. I could hardly disagree more with these women on most issues.
"asking women to boycott places publicly because they are inadequate"
If you gotta go, you gotta go. ~shrugs~ Very few buildings have restrooms inadequate for normal circumstances. Situations such as concert halls, airports immediately after a large flight has deplaned, etc. are exceptions, and financially it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to build and maintain enough restrooms to handle top capacity when they'll only be used to full capacity for a few brief periods during the day, or even just a few times a year.
"asking women to organise around exclusively women issues"
Um, it's called feminism. There are tons of organizations out there dedicated exclusively to women's issues and quite a few of them are politically active.
"asking women to protest/students do it /pensioners do it/farmers do it"
So do women. What on earth makes you think we don't?
"asking women to step up"
To what, exactly?
"asking women to help more around the house"
Ah, the truth comes out.

He definitely is
Hmm yeah
"i'd hate to be a man and Have to go to war...."
No actually I would like to be a man and have no period...
then again I'd like to be a mom......hmmmmm
maybe men and women have equal issues??hmm
There are lots of idiots among both sexes, it's not the point. it is always the case when we are dealing with normal people. Mother would starve but give her last food to her child with a smile. Jumps in front of a speeding car(I did that once) to save her child. Because her child is part of her. If she behaves differently - she is not normal.
How can you hate her?
I am proud to be a mother actually. I am glad I am.
Lets save the world and campaign for more women's toilets in airports
- Yes, that took me a minute!
A major consideration, whether we like it or not, is cost. Considering that a home can run $100 per square foot, it would seem reasonable to find a commercial building at double that, or $200 per foot. Bathroom cubicles are much higher with typically ceramic tile, fixtures, cubicle walls and doors.
I've never been involved in pricing, but it would seem to me that a typical cubicle might cost, at 6X4 space, (non-handicapped) on the order of $7500 to build in a commercial building. I suspect that figure is too low. Add in extra maintenance cost (janitorial, water, repair, etc.) and it quickly becomes a very costly item in the building and pays no return. No one rents it, and no one pays to use it (at least in the US). From a business standpoint it is useless space; necessary, but useless as it generates no income.....sure it generates income....indirectly....it's all part of overhead....people come into the building to do some sort of biz...and then take a short break to do their 'biz'....btw....if the ladies is busy...i'll pop on by the men's if i don't have time to wait....not a problem for me....get outta of my way i say...i'm next...and then i'm 'outta here'....
While a "surveyor" of bathroom practices, watching exact procedures in both mens and womens rooms, might be valuable I do NOT apply for the job!
Yes, I would hazard a guess it was originally designed as a truck stop. Large transports still do stop and park at the service station nearby, so it is a very busy place now!
Fortunately for everyone, all is well now and lineups are a thing of the past...though I do not travel there on holidays, when the crowds swell to the point the old problem may crop up again!
Hey you know what? I'm a woman hear me roar!!!
Seriously, I am the man in the relationship ;lol:
Don't use the facilities - go to the bushes!
Didn't the U.S. just loan you a bunch of money which we borrowed from China who earned it from much U.S. trade who literally cut their own manufacturing throat? Maybe Ireland can use that money to build bathrooms in the U.S., women can get in and out of the loos faster thereby accomplishing more spending on consumer goods, filling the pockets of China, then we can borrow more money, give it to Ireland, and you can build more bathrooms! Problem solved.

But women are fighting everyday against this millenar system with their own hands. They win battles everyday and they don´t need guns to do it.
I see a world controled by women in the future and they just deserve it. Some studies show that they are more intelligent than men so let´s give them a chance. Probably they could change the world and make it a better place!
