Bathroom Bills by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

 

Hello my name is Mrs. LaTrina LaVado and I’ve been thinking a lot about these Bathroom Bills everyone is talking about.

 

Maybe it’s just me but first thing, I’d like to see a lot more restrooms built for women because there are never enough toilet stalls. 

Whenever we go to sporting events, concerts or any other large gathering of people, there are always long lines of women waiting to use the facilities but I never see men waiting in long lines.  

I know the men’s restrooms have those urinal things and I guess that makes it quicker for them to do their business. 

So I was just thinking about all this talk about Bathroom Bills that there will have to be a whole lot more women’s restrooms because of all the transgender women wanting to use the women’s restrooms that will make for impossibly even longer lines.

 

Maybe it’s just me but another thing I was thinking about when I heard about these Bathroom Bills that everyone is talking about now; I’ve never been into a man’s restroom but I was wondering if men’s restrooms have those baby diaper changing stations. 

I’m like hearing about all this gender equality stuff, well, men should be able to take their babies in their restrooms and change their baby’s diapers, right? 

I know my husband was like gagging and making a great, big fuss about the stench of our babies’ poop, when he had to change our babies’ diapers. 

But like isn’t that gender equality, shouldn’t he be able to change his baby’s diaper? 

Why shouldn’t there be baby changing stations in all restrooms, men’s and women’s restrooms?

 

Maybe it’s just me but finally, those restroom women’s signs are just so very outdated, old-fashioned. 

The woman figure is wearing like a poofy or tent dress, like those worn in the 1950’s or 1960’s.

And in order to have that triangle shaped dress look like the woman in the sign is wearing; the women would have to be wearing a petticoat and like nobody wears those anymore.
