'De-gendered' toilets spark row
Personally I am all for the empowerment of gender-free post-hegemonic societal roles. Within the current milieu of the empathy-challenged male oppressor, there is more of a need than ever for the barriers of misogyny, ignorance and sexism to be broken down, and for the complete range of sexual expression to be allowed to flourish in as many places as possible, be that in the White House, or a non-gender enforced university toilet cubicle. As any enlightened observer can see, it is the logic of phallocentric knowledges and the socio-cultural relations and structures that express and justify those knowledges which enable the differential valuation of gender-specific pigeonholes at the levels of patriarchal and sexist discourse.

So, if the logic of phallocentric knowledges and the relations and structures that express them were eroded or destroyed, differential valuation of gender pigeonholes at the patriarchal or sexist levels would be more difficult? Then I am with you in your support of new expression, dear Nookums, I am with you!
