    Sexual assult is the usual argument.

    It’s a private space that can’t be monitored with surveillance.

    Whether or not that is a good argument is debatable.

    Personally I do know a number of people who have been sexually assaulted / raped in club bathrooms.

      Were those bathrooms gendered though? I think the argument that shared bathrooms lead to more sexual assault needs some scientific backing.

      I get that you’re just paraphrasing the arguments of others btw.

        I think gendered bathrooms may make sexual assaults easier, because a man invading a women’s bathroom knows there won’t be a strong man to knock him down.
