Where they can see men with their wangs out at urinals?

This was obviously the right choice.

The few times my Dad had to take me to the restroom, he took me to the men’s, had me close my eyes, and guided me to and from the stall if there were other men around. No wangs were seen.

Shhh! Someone will hear you, and you’ll be tarred and feathered as an irredeemable bigot.

I think the reaction here was stupid, but this isn't obviously the right choice. The normal choice for dads is to take their daughters to the men's room. No little girl is seeing a penis unless she's really trying, and it's not the end of the world if she does. It's what I always did before my kid was old enough to use the women's room by herself and it's what I see when I'm in men's room. It's not a problem.

I'm a mom with sons and I take my boys into the women's restroom. I also have absolutely no issue with a Dad taking his daughter into the women's room. There are stalls, no one's going to see anything.

The man at the door harassing little girls being helped in the bathroom by their Dad is the creepy weirdo here.

I swear, it's the men who seem to be arguing over bathroom/locker room/etc safety for women (against trans persons, or "men in a girls bathroom") who are actually the most creepy and weird. It's all a projection of their own sick behavior.

My sister (cis woman) was once followed by a man who interrogated her coming out of the bathroom in her college lab bathroom. Sister is tall (although not that tall, she's 6') with broad shoulders (she played soccer) so they thought she must be trans. Wouldn't leave her alone.

She was understandably incredibly upset over it.

You seem too online...

Men and bathrooms are unhinged.

A female was kicked out of the women’s bathroom on New years and it was a woman but she was in a suit. Like who TF cares… 2 uneducated security guards … men, that’s who.

A lot of women also moan that men don't "protect" them anymore. You can't have it both ways. Yes, there will always be some slippage and overzealous weirdos.

Yes, as a society we can in fact have it both ways. It’s called situational context and not applying an “all or nothing” logical fallacy.

I have never seen a man walk his daughters into the women's restrooms. He should stand guard outside and sometimes ask if everything is ok if they seem to be taking a long time. Going in with them was a super weird choice.

And there's no definition of protecting women that involves harassing and upsetting little girls.

I literally just had that video pop up for me. The guy on the phone was a jerk. That dad represented zero threat. The caller was just being a bully.

I am 100% fine with a dad bringing his daughter into the women’s room. There are stalls for privacy.

+1. "If you want protection you from actual dangers, you have to accept overreaction to what's obviously not a danger" is not a mindset that actually makes anyone safer.

You've never had a kid who's needed help wiping after a sticky poop or got their underwear tangled or a button stuck? Or a kid who can't reach the soap dispenser over the sink? A lot of bathrooms have the soap or paper towels out of reach for a kid that age. Are little girls just supposed to not wash their hands?

Nope. He has two young girls. They can use the restroom. All a Dad needs to do is say "Hey Ive got two girls with me who need to use the restroom- can we come in?"

Hah, and agreed. OP is clearly trying to turn this into a gotcha moment against people with legitimate and genuine concerns.

On a similar theme, at my local Y, which is very nice, there is a separate locker room just for boys, including teen boys. So there's a men's changing room/bathroom, women's changing room/bathroom, a family changing room/bathroom, and a boys changing room/bathroom. There isn't one for girls. And we all know why, don't we? It doesn't mean the vast majority of men are perfectly decent and trustworthy but there are some out there who are not.

DP. As a dad, I encountered this many times, but we just went in the men's room where I could help.
