A man in women's restroom sparks debate on social media
A video on American social media shows a man entering a women's restroom. The girl's recording does not hide her outrage. However, many people have come to his defense.
City restrooms are places where everyone should feel safe. Unfortunately, it often happens that men visit a public place designated for women, not because there is a line at theirs, but to scare the girls waiting to relieve themselves or simply to find amusement in watching women. Let’s be clear: There is nothing funny about this, and we appeal to everyone not to do it. Let us know if there is a line in the men's restroom, and we’ll wait together.
On social media, you can often find videos showing dangerous or suspicious behaviors of both men and women. These materials help educate and explain what to do when we feel uncomfortable. However, some people record videos to get attention, only to find out there is no threat at all. This kind of video has recently gone viral on American TikTok.
A man appeared in the women's restroom
At the beginning of July 2024, a video became popular on American TikTok. It shows a girl in a public restroom with a man behind her. The video states that two other women had confronted him, so she decided to record. She told him not to worry and to do what he needed. Why? It turned out that he was with a small child and was changing them.
One TikTok user with the pseudonym "ingridbisu" stitched the girl's video. She pointed out that, as a society, we expect men to be more involved in their children's lives. We want them to share responsibilities with their partners because they are equally responsible for the life they brought into this world. That's why it might be worth not confronting him when we see a man changing a child in a women's restroom.
