If you saw a father coming into the women’s bathroom with a young daughter (age 6)…what’s you take

I have no issues with this at all. I’d rather the little girl was in the women’s toilet with her father than in the mens room with a bunch of men. The women’s have stalls. No one just has their genitals out. There is adequate privacy.

I don’t want to take my pants off to pee 2ft from a man in the next stall. Her dad can take her into the handicap bathroom in the men’s room. She will be safe with her dad.

This doesn’t mean I’m not ok with trans women in the women’s bathroom before anyone jumps on me.

I would not give two shits. I would probably smile and say have a great day.

Why are none of the options "it's fine, leave him be"?

There is absolutely no reason a little girl should be in the men’s restroom. He should be welcomed bringing her into the women’s

I don't think a little girl should have to use a man's bathroom. So I would be fine if a man was bringing in his daughter to use the women's bathroom.

I’ve had this happen to me twice and I 100% support it. Both times the dad announced they were coming in to help their daughter and were very respectful. I was so happy they had the courage to keep their kids safe

Just use the disabled toilet

Agree with Donna, there is really nothing to see in a women's restroom compared to a men's (I think lol)

No issue . Xx

It would be absolutely no problem with me

how do you think the little girl would feel taking her pants off and peeing 2 feet away from men using urinals that she had to walk past? I would prefer the child’s comfort over a grown adult.

Wouldn't bother me 🤷‍♀️ I get it. When my husband and I are out together, I still bring both kids with me (or leave with him if he's not going to the bathroom too) because I'd prefer them be in the women's restroom.

HOWEVER, I really do think that men's restrooms need to include a changing station. Because when my husband is out with just my son, I don't think it'd be appropriate for him to bring my son into the woman's restroom and sometimes he needs to be changed too.

Edit: my son is 3, which is why I don't think my husband should take him into the woman's room. If my son were still an infant and needed a change in a bind, I would not be bothered by a dad bringing his son or daughter into the woman's room to use the changing station

Say hey “ dad with a little girl” come on in I have a daughter I wouldn’t want her in a men’s room it’s disgusting and the men in there are weird

girl…

Why isn’t there an it’s ok with me option! Because it absolutely should be ok with everyone! That little girl shouldn’t have to walk past a load of men using a urinal when women’s bathrooms are all stalls and much more private. Go daddy for keeping her safe, have a word with yourself if you think he’s in the wrong!

@Brielle exactly what I said... smh

As long as he announces himself coming into the girls bathroom or better yet the little girl calls out “my dad is coming to help me potty” or some shit I don’t see the problem , I wouldn’t want my girl in the men’s room and I wouldn’t want my daughter going in the women’s restroom by herself at 6 with no supervision

And it’s not a double standard when my son gets to be 6/7:8 I’ll stop bringing him in the girls room and he’ll either go to a family bathroom or I’ll have a trusted male (his dad , my dad, etc) take him into the restroom

I had to re read that trans part bc I was no way she’s putting grown adults comfort over a child I stood corrected bc that’s exactly what she said smh

I’d personally go into a disabled/family toilet if there was one (and it had nappy changing facilities) if I was a dad I’d take the girl into the men’s with me, if their were no changing facilities anywhere else then I’d go in the women’s!

But I wouldn’t be bothered if a dad was in their with his daughter tbh!

because this app only offers 4 options. Hence why I offered “here’s my opinion/ take” because the poll option aren’t always going to represent everyone’s take.

The first one is for people that think the child can be in the restroom but not the dad. So “let her go alone” but due to word count explanations aren’t always an option.

Not everyone is take and opinion can be offered in the poll. You’ll need to contact the creators of this app and tell them we would greatly appreciate polls to have 5+ options for conversation.

I would say I did a great job providing options and opinions that match everyone on all sides of the conversation.

Thanks for joining the conversation girly!!

so you’re not comfortable with a man hearing you pee because he wouldn’t be able to see you unless the door is wide open (which that is a different problem ) , but if you’re uncomfortable because of the cracks that are sometimes in stalls then that implies you’re okay with women seeing slivers of you going potty , what’s the difference ? If it’s the men are generally attracted to women thing then what about lesbians / bi women , or is the principle that he’s a man ?

And for the “she’ll be safe with her dad” so you want her in the objectively dirtier male bathroom where she won’t be able to wash her hands properly due to men being at urinals and she might see something she’s not developmentally old enough to see , unless you think body parts are body parts and it’s not a big deal that she see a penis at 6 but then that brings up another question : why does peeing in a closed stall next to a man make you uncomfortable

Better for that baby girl in the ladies room than be taken in the mens bathroom.

No issue, I’ll understand the situation

As you stated, most mens bathrooms do not have diaper changing areas. Even if the child is out of diapers he may not feel comfortable taking her into a men's bathroom where men are openly urinating. I get it. I wouldn't trip. He's coming in WITH a child. He's just trying to make sure she's comfortable and coming with her to ensure her safety.

I voted the wrong one by accident. I don’t mind it at all! I was in the bathroom once and a father had a 5 year old girl she had to use the bathroom he didn’t come all the way in he stood by the door and had her use the first stall so he can communicate with her I helped him out with his and her consent just monitored her without touching her and looking at her I just made sure she was Okay. Dad said one time a lady looked down at him for being in the woman bathroom and he refuses to take her to then men bathroom since they had urinals and he didn’t wanna expose her to that and i totally understood

It's 100% fine with me. Women pull pants down in a steal where men whip it out in front of other guys in the open. I wouldn't want my daughter seeing that and asking questions

like I said in another individual, this app only allows 4 poll options.

I have “here’s my opinion/ take” and clearly that matches your point of view “it’s okay with me”

Remember, when folks make polls, at least me….im trying to satisfy a million different women and opinions of folks I don’t know. This poll isn’t a research question where I’m heavily thinking about poll response and what best represents this demographic (moms/ moms to be). This also not a formal discussion.

Like I told another women, I think I did a pretty good job giving the limited options we have when creating a poll. Sorry you fell like you perspective wasn’t give a representation in the poll, but it’s certainly welcome in the conversation. I do welcome and encourage anyone to take my conversation and make it their own with poll options they think is better or best represents them.

You wouldn’t expect a mother with a son to go into the mens bathroom because he’s a boy would you? So why isn’t it okay for a man, A FATHER to go into the women’s restrooms so their little girl feels more comfortable going to the bathroom?

thanks for the feedback girl! You’re more than welcome to recreate this conversation and give “better” poll options that best suits you.
But I would disagree and say I gave a decent options. But again, please feel free to repost this into your own words.

@jessim totally allowed to not lie and say that it wouldn’t make me uncomfortable yes. I would probably just wait for the man to leave the restroom and then go. There were gender neutral bathrooms all over Seattle and it made me feel weird to sit in the toilet next to the man.

You can’t tell me how to feel and I’m not being rude. This was a question I answered.

did I tell you how to feel or say you were being rude ? 😂 I was just trying to understand why you answered the way you answered

I'd be okay with it, might startle me at first seeing a man but realizing he's just bringing his daughter I'd be okay with it

Personally I wouldn't want him to take her to the men's room, who knows what could happen if another man was able to get her away from him and depending on her age I can see why he wouldn't want her to go in alone

They need to make more family rooms and add more changing tables to mens bathrooms

He is taking his kid to the toilet. He ain’t there for anything else! 🙄 no one is gona be naked outside a cubical 😂 he can announce himself and come in

did she say that either ? I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if it makes you uncomfortable it makes you uncomfortable but other people are allowed to voice their opinions about your opinion too , tis is how the World Wide Web works

Wouldn’t bother me, better than taking her in the men’s with a bunch of dicks hanging out in a urinal 🤷🏼‍♀️ especially for younger kids, there are no changing stations in men’s toilets either

Nahh but that’s definitely what it means.

What would you say it means then?

Also, as far as the lesbians go, in the US where I live they make up less than 2% of the population. 1 in 5 men commit some sort of sexual misconduct. Facts from the World Wide Web.

No issue, I don’t think a dad would particularly feel comfortable taking his daughter in a men’s toilet anyway . My partner wouldn’t. And if there’s no other female to guide the daughter then it’s understandable he needs to find somewhere for her to go that’s safe and comfortable for her.

Plus I know plenty of people who are trans and have anxiety about bathrooms , so aslong as you’re in there doing your business and not being a creep I personally don’t think it matters.

I’ve used unisex toilets at clubs and I’ve gone in to men’s loos when the wife has been too long for the women’s. I understand other people have opinions but I would deffo excuse a grown up with a child, as a parent we know how unpredictable and picky they can be and they LOVE to need the loo at the most awkward times

omg you oulled the sexual misconduct statistics and would still prefer that a LITTLE GIRL be in the presence of potentially multiple strange men than one father accompanying his daughter to the restroom

@Brielle She did exactly that. She'd rather a little girl be uncomfortable in the men's restroom (and surrounded by exposed men) than deal with a father trying to take his little girl to the restroom. I can't make it make sense in my head.

i would not care, it’s not that deep

It’s so funny, once someone else did this poll and the answer were completely the opposite, it was me and other few ladies who said it would be fine. Some of them they were scared they will put their husbands in jails because some woman can faking abuse etc

you could have @ me babe … my issue is not that your uncomfortable which idk why you would be that’s your feelings and opinion my issue is that you threw it well I’d let a trans male or female whatever you said in over a DAD taking his daughter to the bathroom what’s the difference

I answered the question the way I feel. If you disagree that’s cool. I’m not interesting in fighting

okay let’s talk numbers then , 2% of the 3.5 million people in Connecticut (as of 2024 so give or take), is still 70,000 people babe , and that’s just the people who are openly lesbian or bisexual, and are you saying that you also have a problem with 2% of Connecticut being in the restroom with you ?

We still haven’t gotten to the root of your why, we’ve all explained our opinions and why’s and you haven’t , which is your right but also does your sexuality misconduct statistics factor in men with their children or is it situations like a dark alley or a street , breaking and entering , etc because babe he has a lot more important things to worry about in this context then you peeing

And if you don’t want people saying you’re wrong then don’t post your opinion on the World Wide Web, you either have to be okay with people critiquing your words or you have to be okay with keeping your opinions to yourself

Umm women’s toilets are all cubicles I don’t give 2 F’s all he sees are a bunch of females at the sinks washing their hands and reapplying lippy lol. I’d rather the lil girl see that then men w zips down standing at urinals in the men’s 😵‍💫
plus, why does the men’s STINK so much more than the women’s?! 🤮

You just keep going. Your relentless opinion doesn’t change how I feel. Leave me alone. You’re Better than me girl! You win!

that’s what I was thinking like what is dad gunna hang his daughter on the wall like a poster and say you know what imma SA this lady like??

hey if you can keep going so can I , I’m not trying to argue , but y’all have a goodnight 😂
