The fact that stalls exist kinda makes me question why, outside of poorly aged "values" we even have gendered restrooms.

I don't know if it's the reason, or just a side effect, but I'm pretty sure it prevents a bunch of sexual assault, or at least makes some people feel safer.

This is the justification.

My only comment to that is: the "women's washroom" sign isn't going to stop an attacker.

Right? A No Guns sign isn't going to stop a shooting, but a Women Only sign will stop all rape forever!

Republican "logic"

But imagine how awkward that attacker must feel walking in there
