i don't get why people say the women's restroom isn't a women's space.
have you never experienced sisterhood in a women's bathroom?
at a club, generally, we accompany each other to the bathroom. we tend to not go alone. and we talk in there when we go together. talk to other people in there. give compliments.
in school (grade and college), we did each other's hair in the bathrooms. shared makeup (i know gross. not me personally) and shared perfume. we socialized in the restroom. changed clothes, adjusted headscarves.
ever share menstrual products with the person in the stall next door? or ask them for toilet paper if you notice it's out in your stall too late.
i know and fully agree that gender should not be policed in restrooms. and i know that women aren't the only people who prefer the women's restroom. like transmascs who may feel unsafe going into the men's restroom alone for one reason or another. i went to a women's college and had friends who would use the men's restrooms at school, but wouldn't when we traveled somewhere unfamiliar, for example.
and nonbinary individuals need to relieve themselves too and often a gendered restroom is the only option.
trans women are also often discriminated against and fear mongered about regarding women's restrooms.
it's not a "safe space" for many marginalized groups of people. it can be a violent one. i very much get that.
and i do support gender neutral restrooms and prioritize them over gendered ones.
but to say it its never a "women's space" seems kinda wild bc, in my life, that is simply not the case. it does serve as an intimate semi-social space for women in several circumstances.
i get the point of the argument. it's just not my experience. and probably not a lot of women's experience. so i am uncertain if it's an effective one.
Fundamentals of Society Building: Panacea for Societal Attitudenal and Behavioral Challenges.
The world has been in crises since the much-preached "fall of man". The fall refers to what happened to the first man, Adam and first woman, Eve in the garden of Eden.
The woman had listened to a strange but beautiful creature identified as Serpent to do what he, the Serpent, suggested to the woman against the clear instruction the Creator gave to Adam after he settled them in the garden to tend it. Eve had curiously examined the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden of Eden and identified it as good for food, pleasing to the eyes and desirable for gaining wisdom and knowledge of good and evil and so she took fruit from the forbidden tree and ate as well as served her husband the same fruit.
That was a clear case of disobedience which God could not tolerate! God not only bannished them from the garden but he also put enmity between the man and his wife and the serpent. This clear case of disobedience created enmity between the creatures and God. This case of disobedience has been the origin of the conflict through the ages.
What then? God later appointed a man in history to begin a process of restoring these lost cordial relationships. In his declaration he placed confidence in Abram to do the needful, train his children to follow God's ways and live right as well as administer justice. Abraham was expected to train his offspring to obey God's commands, unlike Adam and Eve.
This process of teaching children obedience was paramount in reversing the crises of enmity among people and God.
This is why we must recognise the importance of obedience in trying to resolve the issues bedeviling the world today.
When God announced Abraham's role in training his children, he established a tall order for all would-be parents who cared to counter the crises in the societies through the ages by training their children to walk in God's ways.
It is noteworthy that families form the bedrock of societies and parents who do well, like Abraham, to train their children to follow the ways of God contribute in no small measure to providing the panacea for eradicating or, at least, reducing the attitudenal, behavioral and character crises bedeviling our world today. How to achieve this forms the basis for the eBook, Proper Parenting of Children in Formative Years, by C. N. C.

I realized that life is not fair, so it would throw stuff at us which we never asked for but to balance the equation, we must learn to change our attitude when life throws anything at us. We can't face different phases of life with the same attitude. When life gives it to us differently and we fall, we must learn to stand up and give back to life a different attitude. The power of attitude can not be overestimated. A slight change in attitude can change everything. . . . #attitudes #attitude #attitudequotes #attitudeproblem #attitudematters #attitudeofgratitude #attitudeiseverything #attitudestatus #quotes #attitudeera #attitudeproblems #motivation #motivationalquotes #attitudeadjustment #attitudenation #successquotes #gratitudeattitude #positiveattitude #attitudefordays #motivationalquotesdaily #lifesayings #amazingquotes #matters #quotestoremember #successmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CUhwx4WKU_J/?utm_medium=tumblr
