You believe opportunity and the chance to do their thing without raising suspicion and possibly being caught matter not at all to sex offenders? Do you also not lock your doors when you go out because, if a burglar wants to enter your house...?

I lock the doors. I also lock the stall door. And if a criminal wants to get into either, they can find ways to get through or around the doors. Also, when I pee at the urinal, I do my thing discretely as most do and don't put a lot of worry into someone trying to peer over and stare at my stuff.

Are you also so freaked out about the prospect of gay sex offenders in men's bathrooms? After all, they've always been allowed in there.

You think some compulsive rapist is going to rape less because there isn't an open Target bathroom policy? Get real.

Oh, for God's sake. Everyone needs to poop and pee. It's a basic bodily function. We're grown adults, and most of us can do it discretely without being worried if the person in the stall next door is transgendered or whatever. Who gives a flying ****? I have bigger things in life to worry about. Just take care of your business and go on about your day.

God, our trips to the toilet are now SO EXCITING.

"Hey girls, wanna go to the clubs?"
"Nah let's party at the beach"
"OMG GUYS I HAVE A BETTER IDEA. LETS GO PINCH A LOAF IN TARGET AND GO TRANNY-SPOTTING"

A lot of the mainstream conservative overtones in these trans arguments are dripping with the stereotypical fear and shame rhetoric related to our bodies, gender, sexuality, and authority that has been going on for years.

The blogger believes women who oppose the bathroom-free-for-all are overly paranoid nutjobs who see sexual predators everywhere they look, so they created an extremist character to mock women. Funny that when I clicked on the link that they said this rant originated from, the page was a blank. Women concerned with safety and privacy are caricatures to this person. Yet another stupid and condescending tactic that won't win anyone to their way of thinking. Between this and the Aimee Toms video, why do pro-coed bathroom people feel the need to lie so much?
agreed

It's not an article. It's a rant. Bit different.

Secondly, it's not what mothers teach their children, it's what society teaches them. For example, my daughter takes the bus to school. We live on a fairly busy road with a lot of work trucks. If I don't stand back a bit further from the road, trucks will honk at me almost every day. Most mornings my hair isn't done. I'm not dressed up, I've got a five year old and two year old playing in the driveway behind me. And still, some man will think "yeah, I'll get her attention". It amazes me. When I worked at Dunkin Donuts, men clearly much older than me (I was 20) would hit on me. One tried to ask me out. Why? Because I was at work? What exactly was I doing that suggested I'd like to go out with a random stranger after my shift?? When I said I wasn't interested, he left in a huff. Why? What did I owe him?

Maybe it's just me, but I've not noticed a lot of women intimidating men like this. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen at the same frequency, that's for sure.

Another hateful man-hater. Too bad her daughter has to be raised by such a negative, hateful person.

I raised my daughter to be CONFIDENT, intelliegent, well educated and to know that she does not need a male to be a happy, productive person. If she marries, it will be out of love and not dependence, as she is independent and productive on her own without any help.

What we need is CONFIDENT women, not HATEFUL women. My wife sure as hell did not need me, as she was an independent, secure professional making a good income when we met.
