It probably seems an absurd question and you have a very clear and logical answer. You are not the only ones, I also have my totally logical answer. However, you may be surprised to know that there are many people who believe that the logical answer is not yours, but the opposite.
I put you in situation. You are a man who is having breakfast or lunch with your daughter in a restaurant or bar, or you have simply gone shopping with her to a mall. He is 4 or 5 years old and at a certain moment he tells you that he wants to pee: Do you take her to the men's room with you and take her to the women's bathroom?
I take her to the men's room, of course ...
It is my logical answer. It's what I would do (and I say I would do because I have three sons, so I haven't seen myself in the dilemma). I would go with her into the men's room and go to the ones with a little door; I would clean the area with a washcloth (I've always carried wipes in my bag) and put it to pee, or if I didn't see it very clean I would hold it "on the fly".
Why? Well, because I don't see the problem. When you enter a men's room, you only see that, men. You don't see naked bodies or people teach the churra Just like that. Moreover, I think that in my 38 years of life, urinating in public toilets, I have not seen any uncle.
In fact, even if it were (right now I am thinking of a male wardrobe, where on more than one occasion I have encountered small girls), I would not see the problem either. We are all human and we have a body, and that's it.
I take her to the women's bathroom, of course ...
It is the answer that some women give because they would not want to see their little girl in a men's room. Moreover, it is the answer a few weeks ago a mother gave in the network of Mumsnet mothers, encouraging men to enter women's toilets because toilets are also private, and are much more suitable places for a girl.
Many women supported that opinion (out of more than 500 comments), horrified at the image of a girl in the meantime urinating man, although many others opposed the possibility that men now begin to enter women's toilets to accompany their daughters.
Lack of trust?
It is true that some toilets for men more disgusting than anything else, but honestly ... the same disgust gives if you enter with a boy than if you enter with a girl. I have entered with my children to urinals that were literally disgusting, but hey, it's a moment, you're going to urinate, period.
But they are a minority, I say. Most times the sink is as clean as a place can be so it is public, It's not a big deal.
However, what is behind this, I think, is a clear lack of trust in us, and in the rest of men. They must imagine that an exclusive place for men is something like that space in which instincts are given free rein, and that their girls are in danger, or that they can be corrupted, or that their childhood is going to be ruined by risk To see a man urinating. And what do you want me to say: they are not that place they imagine, nor as I said before, nothing would happen if they saw more of the account (which is already rare to happen).
Now, if you think I am wrong, tell me, please, because I still think that the debate is meaningless and that it is as easy as I have told it at the beginning: to enter with your daughter in the men's room, to enter a closed cubicle and do what needs to be done in the most hygienic way possible.
