Bathroom Signs and how they are offensive...? Or just confusing

I found that in reading this post that all of the signs that are made today for the washrooms are just absurd. It should not be that complicated to make appropriate signage for the restrooms in today's day and age. With everything else going on in the world, bathroom signs should not be an issue.

After looking at all of the signs that were posted to the blog, I found most of them to be pretty comical and some of them just bizarre and unnecessary. Using inappropriate sexual symbols to represents the gender of a public restroom is again not necessary with how far our society has come today. Men and women should have generic symbols that represent the difference of the public restrooms.

   


Overall, I feel that people read too much into the symbols used to represent a man and a woman. If men are supposed to be the dominant species and females are supposed to have evolved from the males, then why is there a sense of equality between the two species? Is one supposed to be more superior than the other? I don't think that it is intended to offend anyone about the gender they are through bathroom signs. Too many people today take everything in offense to themselves and the way they are. If there is a sexist or racial comment made or implied anywhere today toward an individual who is of that gender or race, they feel the need to be offended by it most of the time just because they think that everyone is talking about them personally. This just draws attention to a situation that did not need to be made light of in the first place.

I discovered through this blog that majority of the world population today views males as being the dominant species while females are inferior to them. This is similar to Adam and Eve and how everything was in the beginning. The woman came from the man and they just exist together. Man is the dominant species because it was created first, and society still very much sees this today. Although more women hold jobs that used to only be considered a "man's" occupation, they are not getting paid the same nor are they given most of the same benefits. In some instances they are sexually harassed for having positions that have this kind of authority simply because the male feels he has to be assertive and dominant to show who is really in charge.

If more people would stop reading into signs and start accepting the generic symbols for men and women, the stick figures for the bathrooms, then society today would not be viewing everything so politically. More women would stop being so feminist because they would see how they are really accepted into society.
