The 18-year-old high school student said she unzipped her hoodie to show she had breasts after a Buffalo Wild Wings server didn't believe she is a woman.

        It’s when your crotch is flat, obviously, like a playmobil

        If you’re completely flat then there’s your proof

        You can show them your flat pics

      In a society where women are often harassed, many women use bathrooms to escape men, even if just for a few moments of peace.

        The problem is, with women like this server around, you can still get harassed in the bathroom even with no men present. So I’m not sure it has much value as a refuge at this point.

          My wife has shared so many crazy stories of shit going down in women’s restrooms. Like, men just do their business and get out. It’s one of the few things you could argue isn’t toxic about masculinity

        Everywhere needs at least one single occupancy gender neutral restroom.

        But saying that, I’ve been harassed while trying to use a porta potty. Can’t win for losing.

        If you’re being harassed, I feel like going is a closed space like a bathroom is probably the worst idea possible
