The Guys Room -vs- The Powder Room Ladies Gone Wild



Recommended Posts

If we have "The guys' room" can we please just have "The gals' room"

Having one named something generic and factual.....and the other named a reference to the 1950's and soft porn ....is extremely offputting.

I'm sure it was meant to be cutesy, but in business, this would be seen as a microaggression, or sexual harassment.

I suppose you could equalize in the other direction, and rename "the guys's room" something equally ridiculous and condescending like "The Humidor: Gentlemen Wanking"

Ha! The forum name was created by a group of ladies many years ago. I agree with you, we should change the name.

It's been updated.

Oh hell yes, I would totally post in The Humidor. Make it happen.

As for the powder room nom de guerre, it's only sexist if a man named it. And as Alex said, it was created by the women. Why does everything have to come down to offense? Can't we just say it would be nice to update the name and leave it at that?

Sent from my phone. Please forgive brevity and spelling.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
