Maybe they shouldn't take their friends with them then. LOL. Its a joke I tease my wife and daughters about. I dont know how real it is, but you seldom if ever here a guy say to his buddies, "Hey Im going to go water my snake, wanna come?" Or "Hey lets go see how cold the water is." Nope guys usually hit the head on a solo mission unless by coincidence their buddy also needs to hit it. I asked my daughters why women have the herd mentality when it comes to using the bathroom and they said they go there to talk about the men in private. LOL
I have never had a woman ask me to go to the restroom with them, nor have I ever asked that of any of my women friends. Not even when I was young and we hung out in large groups. Truthfully, I would prefer to have the restroom to myself, but if the only thing available is multiple stalls, even if it's unisex, I can live with it.
This may make me unpopular, but I think urinals are practical for men. I've only once seen one in a private home, but if my DH had wanted one it would have been fine with me. And if we are going to have unisex bathrooms, give the men an option to use a row of urinals if they want. Put up a free standing wall for privacy, share the sit down toilet stalks and sinks. It should be about efficiency.
Where are these types of multi use / muti gender restrooms being used? What cities are doing this?? Is this for real? So to be clear, I could be in a stall and some big fat sweaty dude who ate too many beans could be grunting away in the stall next to me? I'd be in the same room as men pissing their stinky urine standing there doing their thing in front of me? What?
lol. I agree. Why do we need this? It sounds like the crazy left is at it again stirring things up and being crazy thinking we need something that we don't. I swear most days it's like the Twilight Zone with these leftists.
So when your date gets up to excuse themselves, you can join and both poop together side by side before you both return back to the table for desert. How nice.

Normally common sense would have suggested this was not the best idea we have come up with. Perhaps further thought would result in some sort of privacy screen or the elimination of urinals. When you see flowers planted in the urinal, use the stall. You might cast your eyes around outside looking for a sickly looking isolated bush. Watch out for yellow snow. A port-a-potty or several arrayed on the parking lot might be an alternative for shy folks.
I don't see why we just can't have a potty chair brought to our table and save us a few steps.
Why not just a hole in the ground behind the bus stops like Egypt and many third world countries. We are slowly heading that way. No need to have sinks to wash up.
I was in Paris once having dinner at a swank restaurant with a client and I got up to find the rest room. He tells me that the men's room is broken, and so I have to use the lady's room. I assumed he was joking, but when I got there, the men's room was locked and there was a sign on it in French which I couldn't read. So I opened the door to the lady's room and thank God it was empty so I chose a stall and went in. Shortly thereafter, the restroom started filling up with women, chatting and primping themselves in the mirror which I could see through the slit of the door. Having finished business I waited patiently for them to leave. And waited. Finally, I thought this is ridiculous and surely they'd seen the sign on the men's room door. So I opened the stall door and walked out into the cacophony of chatting women. Everything stopped and they all froze and glared at me. Sadly all I could say was, "excusez moi!" Man, I couldn't get out of there fast enough! Scarred me for life, it did.
A couple of years ago I was at the Seattle Convention Center at the same time as a large convention of a very liberal group (librarians). The restrooms were temporarily relabeled as gender neutral at their request I assume. The repurposed men's room had fabric draped over the urinals preventing their use.
It felt strange and discriminatory to me as a man.
A group with a large proportion of females who didn't feel like standing in line when there were unused facilities nearby - seems rather logical.
