My husband made a really good point about gays going into women's restrooms last night. I asked him if men's restrooms actually had a 10-14' long trench that men could wee-wee into. And he said yes. So then, I asked him, "so all these men just stand there, in front of God and everybody, showing off their junk to each other while they wee-wee? And he said yes. Then, he said, I would think that all these straight, heterosexual men that are having such a fit over this would WANT the gay guys to go into the ladies room, so they don't have compare their "junk" to each other...
I thought that was a REALLY good point. Maybe everyone having such a fit over this, really wants to get these gay guys in a men's restroom, next to a trench, so they can compare their "junk" to the gay guy's "junk". Now that's a thought...
He said, a gay guy in a ladies room shouldn't be any problem, because they are not interested in women, which is exactly what I said yesterday. And he agreed with me that if someone is going to all that trouble to dress up as a woman to get into a ladies restroom to rape someone isn't going to be deterred by a any rule... Rape is about power, not sex.
I'm so glad that husband is a sensible man. Thank God!
It truly doesn't bother me-- I go into a stall and lock the door. Sometimes, I have locked them so well, I've gotten stuck and had to crawl out the bottom...

A bit of nostalgia, lol!
There are still some of those around today, but I don't think they've made new ones for years. (Well, maybe in some very rural areas?).
Most men's rooms today don't have them-- they have individual urinals instead, and of course individual toilet stalls.

Nostalgia is right Krishna!
1st time I saw one was back in the early 60's when I was taken as a kid to a football game at the Cotton Bowl. Pretty intimidating for a young boy, having to hang one's eraser size picker out in such a public setting.
Last time I saw them in use was in our training barracks on Parris Island in 1970.
Now that first night was one funny situation.
The Drill instructor marched us up to them in two columns, (there were two, one on each wall), he then barked the following commands;
Readddy FACE! - we turned to face the urinals. With DRAW! - we unholstered and aimed our weapons. Coooommence FIRE! - we unloaded our weapons REEE-COVER!
He then marched us out of the head to stand in front of our bunks.
Trying times, since that was the only pee break we would get for the rest of the night and if one's weapon happened to, "Dry Fire" due to shyness, then you were in for one long uncomfortable night.
Stuff like that in boot camp often made me laugh, which got me into a lot of trouble at the time. Seems like every other day I'd have to go through this routine.
Perhaps those that are so worried about this should take a lesson from some Native American Tribes. With the Ojibwe, they are called niizh manidou (Two Spirit). They are accepted and in fact we feel that they have special gifts from the Creator. Historically we have recognized more than two genders.
The most famous of the Two Spirit People was Ozaawindib (Yellow head). One of the great warriors of the Ojibwe. His position within the tribe was that of Makandwewinini (Pillager). They were the shock troops of the Ojibwe. Much like todays Marines or advanced Infantry.
We have understood for centuries what todays world is still in turmoil over.
That's really interesting. And after all, its just accepting the reality-- that a percentage of the population is just naturally gay.
Some people say its "un-natural", but for some people its just who they are. And I've read that some animals are gay as well (more in some species than others).
I don't know where the anti-gay ideas started-- probably with some really ultra-conservative religious leaders who decided to get their followers to believe it was "a sin".
Wow! She is soooo gorgeous in this video! :^)
I'd like to dedicate this video to all of our wonderful friends in the great state of North Carolina-- GO 'HEELS!
(Went right over their heads, it did)
Laughed, I did.
LOL, loved it.

Great idea! (They might have to change the signs on the restrooms though . . . )
LOL, probably will have to Krishna.
I don't really understand what the big deal about bathrooms is. Back in the day they were all two holers with no gender specific designations.

How about bisexuals ? There are reputed to be a lot more bisexual men than fully homosexual ones .

"You smiling again MS. W?!"
"No Sir! Private's Not Smiling Sir!!"
"Shut up little piggie and give me 100 setups!"
Sounds hard!
I never really thought about night-time wee-wee breaks, in the army, before...
Great stories!

And, if you can control people's sex lives, you control their ability to procreate. That is a lot of control. Other animals don't seem to do that!

Sorta reminds me of Steampunk. Not very well done Steampunk, but still....
And anyway-- that piano playing ain't that great. Here's how its supposed to be done!
