Kalifornia Strikes Again

Out of California, a report on SB 1437.

It could potentially require gender-neutral bathrooms... all references to 'husband' and 'wife' or 'mom and dad' removed from school textbooks as the norm."

Who cares about the removal of "mom and dad" or "husband and wife" from school textbooks? The dangerous issue is with the gender-neutral bathrooms.

Most guys I know already have issues using the public bathroom - if other men happen to be in the bathroom at the same time. For example, take the unfortunate instance of a bathroom with three urinals. Guy "A" walks in and uses the one on the left. Seconds later, Guy "B" comes in and uses the one on the far right. But then Guy "C" comes in and has to make a decision - should he use the one in the middle or go to a stall to take care of business? If the stalls are occupied, and he really needs to go, he'll move to the middle urinal.

All three guys will stare with great focus at the wall, as if observing the wall so intently would allow them to find the cure for cancer. One thing is guaranteed, they will never move their eyes from the wall. When they are finished, they will make sure to avoid eye contact with anyone else - even at a non-threatening place like the sink. A crazed man could come in with machine guns blazing, and these guys wouldn't even bother to duck, as that would require taking their eyes off the wall - or possibly making eye contact with another man in the bathroom as they dive and look to assess the danger.

Why do I mention any of this? Because I am concerned. Things are hard enough for guys right now, and that is just to use the mens' bathroom. What will happen to all the poor California dudes if bathrooms become gender-neutral? Will most men in California hold on until they get home? Can they hold on until they get home? This legislation could cause unforseen health problems and devestate the economy if men decide to avoid bars, restaurants, and sporting events.
