Boys in the girl's room

Something I learnt today: They translated episodes of the Simpson's into Arabic
Something that made me laugh today: Locking Mike in the cold room

I've had a damn weird day and I refuse to write about it because it's all too silly.

So what I'm gonig to bitch about is protestors at uni.

Complaining about VSU or War in Iraq strikes me as rather pointless but acceptable. Abortion pisses me off because I'd rather a child be never born than starving/unhappy.

What has realy gotten me weirded out is Captain Pan. Captain Pan is pictured trying to escape from a prison like cell. The caption underneath claims that is is angered and confused by this gender binary. What are the getting at? Unisex toilets.

Like the ones in Ally McBeal I guess. Lots of cubicles and it's all vrey social within. No more sneaking boys into the girls room for a makeout session, the work is already done. (Would this infact ruin all the fun? I'm not quite sure.)

So then, I wandered around asking a few people what they thought of the idea. We all came to the consensus that as long as there were no urinals, and the boys didn't have to see our "sanitary napkin disposal bins" no one had any problem with it.

Until I spoke to Sarah.

There was apparently something set up like this in her university overseas. The result of which was an increase in the number of sexual assults on campus.

Ahh, no thanks.

So having confirmed my views that the current system is fine, or that I will follow the sterotype and begin to go to the bathroom with a mass of female friends, I move on with my life.

Until I find the next protest about the injustice of public toilets on campus.

Cubicle free bathrooms.

Apparently cubicles are "walls" imposed on us by some nasty set of ideals that we don't all agree with.

I do.

Some things I just don't want to see. See if you can guess one that'd rate in the top 5.

Jud, You OBVIOUSLY thought that by cleverly disguising your words, people would think you were complaining about toilets, and support your views, while you were actually ranting about student loan consolidation, and how multiple loans from multiple sources 'are "walls" imposed on us'.

But you couldn't fool Mr/Ms Anonymous over there. Nope, that anonymous person was way to clever for you!
