Do you feel this way too?

I was cleaning the men's bathroom at work and while the floor was drying a guy asked me "How long will it take before I can use it???" and I said "Oh, you can just use the other bathroom"
"The womens bathroom?" I nodded my head and said yes in reply.

Then he said "Yeah, maybe not, I have too much self respect for that"
and was left with this face馃槕 though all i said was ok.

[b][c=#BF0000]Does anyone really feel they lose self-respect by using the bathroom of the opposite gender?[/c][/b] What respect was there to be lost. It just a freakin' bathroom! I really did not understand that. Usually it is the guys and most women seem ok with using the mens restroom. When I tell guys they can use the womens restroom they look at me like I squirted ketchup in front of them or something. Whats there to be surprised about. I was a little put off when he said that and why is everyone so surprised when I tell them they can use the "other" bathroom.

What comes to mind is that he is a sexist and mysaginist with very little respect for women if he actually thinks he would be undermining his respect for himself.

The reason they are surprised is that we live in a culter that thinks women are less then men. That's actually why there are two bathrooms to begin with.
I think the different bathrooms with multiple stall can help stave of sexual harassment but the single bathrooms I agree 100% with you
