If I ran across unisex restrooms in this country, I'd be loathe to enter them. I'd want family members of either sex to have an escort or two and I'd want one myself. I'm a married male who has attempted to never be alone with a female other than my wife to avoid any appearance of impropriety and to avoid false accusations. I could imagine walking into a restroom where there was a female and no one else and then being arrested as I exited due to a false accusation. We live in a very sick world and no honest person or Christ follower is immune from attack.

Actually, most of that is pretty smart. I have a teacher who refuses to be alone with less than two female students for fear of being falsely accused of assault or something. And when it's the female's word against the male's, the female's is always taken.
I know I shouldn't make fun of his grammar, but the setup is too much fun.
"We live in a very sick world and no honest person or Christ follower is immune from attack"
"Honest person or Christ follower" implies that christ followers are dishonest.
Last time I checked, having sex with a consenting adult was no grounds for arrest, even if you are married and the person in question is not your spouse.
On the other hand, having sex with anybody - even your spouse - in a public place might be.
Paranoid, as always. Seriously, get in touch with reality, for Science's sake! Bathrooms are largely used for defecation, urination, and washing of hands. Public restrooms are usually not the ideal location to rape or indulge in consensual sex with others, not because there is a magical barrier preventing men from enterring the women's room and vice versa, but because it is PUBLIC!
Then don't go in. Fuck really, nobody's forcing you.
Or do you have some strange public washroom fetish?
And yeah, sure "false accusations", nobody in prison is guilty are they.
Well, you are free not to enter unisex restrooms. But be careful if yu instead decide to piss against the wall, as it is written:
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall
What are you thinking? The type of unisex facility with which I am familiar, sits one person at a time. It has a throne, a sink, perhaps a baby table and urinal, and
We have one in the lobby at my university.
It's one person and it's cheaper to have one restroom since the students have their own, separated by gender.
There's one at the junior high too.
IT'S CONVENIENT!
Last time I checked, there was no invisible barrier preventing any predator from entering the "wrong" bathroom. I doubt unisex bathrooms will make a difference, and wtf? Appearance of impropriety? False accusations? With that sort of mentality bub, you'd just better avoid the opposite sex altogether.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. We're all man-trapping, blood-sucking, rape-accusing bitches or hot-to-trot little vixens. Can't win.
It is rather amazing how these people turn everything around to make it about them. Gender neutral bathrooms are established to make everyone more comfortable. And all this guy can care about is that he might be seen in what he thinks is a 'compromising situation' involving a woman and a restroom. The persecution complex never ends... Seriously, whatever.
I had gender-neutral bathrooms both times I lived on-campus in college -- one-person rooms in the second case, and a standard dorm bathroom with individual shower and toilet stalls the first. Took the men a little while to get in the habit of not pissing all over the walls, but after that there really wasn't any trouble.
THE RAPE SCALE (PPL take notes)
guy/guy-------------------meh.
now
make the girl be a large Swedish body builder, and the guy a small scrawny type
add a public bathroom setting
@clockworkgirl21:
There was a sort of situation like that when I was in high school. One of the girls I knew accused our English teacher of raping her, and he ended up getting fired and going to jail. A little while after she accused him, she told a few of her friends that she was just making it up because he was giving her a bad mark in the class. That teacher at your school is actually pretty smart in that rule.
There's really no problem with making single seaters unisex -- all they are is bottlenecks, and besides which they give people on dates a private place to sneak off for a quick fuck (never done it, but why the hell not?). I'm not too sure anyone wants multiple-unit restrooms to be unsegregated though.
Is there no risk of false accusations in an all male restroom? What are you afraid of being accused of?
Nice that you make a distintion between honest person and Christ follower. Haha!
Edit. About the Rape Trials in Britain. That makes my blood boil. A woman ought to be able to be naked and tipsy, and not have to defend herself after a rape. Consent is the key, if you believe you are getting mixed messages from a woman, then take the safe road and ask her straight out. The criminally idiotic women who falsely accuses someone of rape ought to go to jail for a long time. They destroy so much for thouse who have actually been raped. (I use woman as stereotype here, it's equally traumatic for men who are raped.)

Confused?
