At the event, female college students also distributed to the public a letter to male compatriots.

Female college student "preempts" male toilet

At noon on March 18th, at the entrance of the public toilet at the west entrance of the Cross Wooden Pagoda Lane in Xiguan, there were surging crowds. In addition to the people waiting in line to go to the toilet, several young girls “guarded” the door of the men's room and they sprang to the sporadic side. The men in the toilet explain what they are saying, and they greet the lady who lined up at the door of the ladies' toilet and enter the men's room as “convenient”. There are still some people holding billboards. Some people are sending leaflets to passers-by. The original girls, all of whom were college students at a certain college in Lanzhou, took advantage of the “occupation of men’s toilets” to help women who lined up at the entrance of public toilets through such activities. The men's toilets are "convenient" and hope that through this act, they will appeal to solve the unreasonable status of toilet seats for men and women, and ease the embarrassing situation of women's "long queue" in public places. The men on the scene saw this and listened to explanations from female college students. They all humbly cooperated and expressed their understanding. There were also men who volunteered to join the volunteers to persuade men to wait patiently.

Ms. line up to enter the men's room "convenience"

"Sir, can you wait a few minutes and then go into the restroom, and let the ladies use the men's room first? The team on the other side of the women's room is too long. Many women have waited for a long time and couldn't stand it!" On the way to a public toilet door, several young girls “guarded” the door of the men's room and greeted the ladies who lined up at the door of the women's toilet to enter the men's room “conveniently”. This activity apparently relieved some of the women waiting for the toilet for a long time. Several ladies who lined up at the entrance to the women's toilet entered the men's room "conveniently." Of course, the need for men's toilets has not been ignored. Volunteers' "occupation of men's toilet activities" only lasts for three minutes. After more than ten minutes, the volunteers also have the time to fully use the toilet. At the same time, during the interval between men waiting for the toilet, female college students also explained the intentions to men. Men who were stopped outside the men’s toilet also expressed their understanding. “It doesn't matter. I wait a minute. The team on the other side of the ladies' toilet is really too long,” said one of the stopped men.

The proportion of existing toilet seats is not fair to women

According to Li Mai (a pseudonym), the founder of the occupation of men's toilet activities, before this, she assisted in the "occupation of men's toilets" in Guangzhou, Beijing, and local female college students to help line up at the entrance of public toilets. Ladies and Gentlemen are immediately aware of the embarrassment of toilets in public places. "I hope our activities will enable more male friends to realize the pain of women's toilets, and also hope that the building planning department and the municipal department will improve the toilet setting standards and fundamentally solve the problem of women's difficulty in toilets," said Li Maimai. . In fact, in China, there are as many male and female toilets in general toilets, but there are urine toilets in male toilets, and the number of male toilets and urine toilets is almost equal. This allows male toilets to accommodate at least twice as much as female toilets. People. Moreover, regardless of the size, women must wear clothes, sit down, and add physical differences. On average, the toilet lasted more than twice as much as men. In addition, children in general often go to the women's toilet with their mothers and occupy some of the toilet seats. During pregnancy or menstruation, the toilet becomes more frequent. Because of the difficulty in toileting, they had to squat. In the long term, it is prone to cystitis, kidney disease, and even urinary poisoning. In fact, China’s document on the design standards of public toilets once stipulated that the proportion of male toilets and female toilets in toilets is 1:1—2:3. However, there are few places that can be implemented according to the regulations, which leads to the fact that women are now In public places, it is not easy to act “conveniently”, causing many embarrassing situations and even hurting their bodies.

Inspired by field activities

The organizer of the event, a university student in Lanzhou University (a pseudonym) and a small K (a pseudonym), said that he and his companions saw the toilet activities in Guangzhou and Beijing not long ago inspired, and they also saw male lawyers and scholars toileting. Question of proportionality Send a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. In the recent two sessions, there were representatives of the National People’s Congress who were concerned about this issue. Therefore, they also wanted to appeal for the toilet problem of the female compatriots in Lanzhou, hoping that relevant departments could pay attention to it. Xiao K said: In fact, as early as March 1, 2012, 10 male lawyers and scholars from Li Fangping, Zhang Qianfan, Hu Xingdou, sent a proposal to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to improve the proportion of women's toilet seats. letter. The letter stated that the "Urban Public Toilet Design Standards" formulated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development should be improved and the proportion of women's toilet seats must be enforced so that the proportion of toilet seats for men and women can be reasonably allocated. At the recent two sessions, the issue of unreasonable proportions of toilet seats for men and women was even more noticed by Ye Qing, Sun Xiaomei, and Zhao Linzhong’s deputies to the National People’s Congress. They also submitted relevant suggestions to the conference group of the two sessions, calling for improvement. The proportion of women's toilets is to solve the problem of women's toileting and ensure the equal rights of women.

Expert statement

Associate Professor Liu Xiaonan, head of the Constitutional Research Institute of the China University of Political Science and Law, who has long been engaged in research on anti-discrimination laws, believes that if toilets are classified according to the classification of toilets, unreasonable toilet seats for men and women may be suspected of infringing women’s right to education because the toilet is This kind of affiliated educational facilities; unreasonable toilet seats for men and women in employers may be suspected of infringement of equal employment rights because equality of employment should include equality of working conditions; toilets in public places are public facilities; unreasonable toilet seats are suspected of infringement by women in society. Guarantee the right to equality in social welfare. Feng Yuan, a famous female scientist and member of the China Women’s Studies Association, said: “Actually, many women have the experience of “occupying men’s toilets” as a last resort. Our country’s public toilet design standards have stipulated that the male toilets of toilets The ratio of toilet seats to female toilets should be 1:1-2:3, but it is obviously not well implemented in many places. Whether the existing laws and policies are implemented and how effective implementation can be achieved requires multiple efforts. And action, and be supervised and supervised.
