    I like the bidet’s we have at home, but I don’t get the ones that are separate from the toilet. Saw this type when visiting San Juan, PR once. Their plumbing system can’t handle toilet paper very well, so it’s all bidets with a stack of washed towels.

    Not only do they take up extra space in the bathroom, but are you supposed to waddle over to this thing with a dingleberry hanging out? I don’t get why you’d want that.

    The one argument I’ve heard in their favor is from people with vaginas who don’t like the idea of the built-in sprayer catching bits of poop that’ll get in their cootch.

          Yes, but the extremely vast majority are. I feel this is discriminating against women.

            Do you also think that saying “Happy Holidays” somehow excludes Christians?

            Increasing the size of your umbrella doesn’t discriminate against the people who are already under it. It simply invites more people to join them.

            It’s not fear it’s just taking a bit of effort to be respectful and inclusive.

            If someone gets mad because you just said women then yeah I’d agree that’s a bit much but taking a bit of time to be inclusive shouldn’t be something you’re upset about.

            Why do you assume it’s fear that motivates people to use language that’s inclusive of trans and non-binary people?
