pennie-dreadful replied to your post “Dear men in my department, Could you please stop splashing pee all…”

You know, I honestly didn’t know men were disgusting and sloppy enough to get pee on the floor until a recent trip where I was desperate and used the men’s room at a gas station. Really, men? Really?

@pennie-dreadful this wasn’t my problem until a few years ago when all of the single-room bathrooms were changed to be gender-neutral. This was a good and important thing to do because we had a non-binary grad student and we want the department to be welcoming and inclusive for all future non-binary students and faculty… but it also means that cis men, who constitute the vast majority of department members, can use all of these bathrooms, which means they’re a lot more pee-splashed than the ones designated as women’s rooms ever were.

Shortly after my department made the change, one of the women grad students printed out copies of this Facebook post and taped them up behind the toilets:

But they have long since been taken down.
