- You know, most of the men I hear who use that old hack ("I don't want gay
- me staring at me") tend to be the type of person I know _I_ wouldn't be
- attracted to if I were gay. I'll bet you don't mind having women "stare at
- you", do you? Even women whom you don't find attractive? What's the
- difference? If you're not interested, you're not interested.

- Sure, go ahead and build unisex bathrooms. No one will want to use them.
- American society is so hung up sexually that the thought of accidentally
- walking in on a member of the opposite sex while going to the bathroom
- would be enough to scare even the most radically rabid feminist.
-
- I mean, by the same token, there should be no problem with a man walking
- around in women's clothing.
