Bathroom Rules - or: Put your butt on the seat.

Male privilege is not respecting the conduct rules for the Ladies’ in a bar when the Gents’ is out of order and everyone has to use the same bathroom.

Honestly - every single time I went the seat was either up or peed all over. It was disgusting. Out of about five men I met there and called out on their behaviour only one took me seriously (and apologised), the others just grinned and ridiculed me. I mean, apart from the squick factor, we’re talking actual health-risks here. Infections down there happen very easily and are not anyone’s idea of fun.

Just take a moment to imagine the reverse - how would men react if they found, say, a bloody tampon in their bathroom, innocently having a nice swim in the loo?

I was so angry that I was actually wondering where I could get some fake blood. Tampons I had. I’m sure those inconsiderate jerks would have loved to find that in their beers…
