Should fathers be allowed to take their daughters into women's toilets?

Practically every toilet in the women's bathroom are cubicles, so what's the big deal? Why does it seem as if all men are being treated as sexual predators when it's a basic human need for their child.

On 'This Morning', a TV show here in the United Kingdom, 65% of people said that it's okay for men to do this, but 35% said that it was not okay.

Some people even suggested that they should just use the disabled toilets, but disabled toilets are for disabled people.

Not sure how it works in the UK but here in the US both men and women stalls have cubicles in them. As well as the male specific stall. Don't see why the father wouldn't just take their daughter into male stall as a mother would take their son in female stall?

Something something urinals, something something don't want them to see a penis, something something like that? I've never been in a girls toilet, but I can tell you that male toilets are absolutely disgusting. They'll leave a giant stinking shit in the bowl and not flush, piss all over the floor, etc.

I wouldnt mind a male in the female toilets, however I think it would be better for them to use the disabled toilets to make the Dad feel at ease.

Also nappy changing areeas used to be solely in the female toilets, however they now try to have the separate due to more and more males look after babies

I personally don't see an issue with it. It's a toilet. A lot of places have mixed sex toilets these days, and they work. I use the womens toilet at work if the mens isn't free and I really need to go, and no one has a problem with it (although tbf, we only have 1 woman at my place of work and she works in the office which has its own toilets lol)

Was listening to a debate on LBC earlier about trans female using the women's toilets, and the woman on the phone was so ignorant but also contradictive. She said she categorically doesn't think it's right for trans to use women's toilets, but if the trans individual could pass for a woman then she wouldn't have an issue with. Like where the fuck is the logic?

That just sounds like a person who doesn't know what transgender is. It's like they think transgender means a person is gonna walk in with a beard and a dress.

Anyways I always thought that the parent should be in the right bathroom when bringing kids along if possible. If that's not a reasonable option, let the parent do what they gotta do. If there's nobody using the disabled bathroom that seems like a fine option to me though.

Completely agree with this.

Having 3 kids myself, 2 daughters and a son I feel I'm well qualified to pass judgement on this one now that I've been helping small humans onto toilet seats for a combined 12 years already.

I do not wish to put my daughters in a situation in a male toilet where they may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed because there are strange (to my children) men present, while not literally there in the cubicle, my daughters are 4 and 5 and clever enough to understand that a strange man is literally on the other side of the door. Using the toilet, I feel, is considered quite an intimate thing for the opposite sex, being female. Men are quite 'yeah whatever' about the whole thing, showering together when playing rugby, having literally hundreds of men share the urinal with you at a rugby match etc.

Going on what I said though about it being more intimate for ladies, I'm not sure how a woman would feel about having a young man stood in the cubicle next to them while going about their duties.

I don't have a daughter or anything, but if I did the way I'd see it is this.

I'm not going into the women's bathroom with my daughter to try to get a peep in on a woman. I'm doing it so my daughter can feel comfortable using the bathroom with other women. If someone has a problem with me taking care of my daughter's needs, they can screw off. If a woman comes into the men's room with her son, I'm not going to think anything of it if she isn't making a scene. Why shouldn't a parent do what they think is best for the kids?
