I.C.U.P. in Target

The Target bathroom scandal, have you heard of it? Of course you have! Don't you love times like these where it can properly show you the asshole divide on your Facebook friends list? Opportunities to clean out your friends list are presenting themselves quite frequently these days (gay marriage, pot legalization, the 2016 election), so hover your mouse over 'unfriend' and feel the sweet release. 

According to USA Today, more than 700,000 people have decided to boycott Target now and to that I say fuck them because I'd rather go into Target with less cluttered aisles, especially now that they will be minus all the douchebags. More better-than-Walmart cheap shit for me, thanks! The reasons for the boycott stem from the pearl-clutching fear mongers who think that this bathroom anarchy is finally the moment predators around the nation have been waiting for, the free-for-all in the porcelain palace!

Prior to this, these signs were the ultimate barriers that protected children from these pedophile monsters:

These two signs created a forcefield preventing predators from entering- well, uh unless they were male predators preying on male children/men but that never happens or so I've heard.*

"A danger to wives and daughters!" the petition calls it. What a bullshit response. 

For one, wives, daughters, and any other women can be assaulted and molested regardless of time and place like...

The subway...**

School...

Home...

Two, if someone is hellbent on assaulting someone in a bathroom that little sign with a lady in a skirt isn't going to do shit to stop them.

Three, male children are sharing bathrooms with men everyday who could be potential predators but there is never a mention of that scenario because apparently only women can be victims (this stereotype is damaging to both sexes as it paints women as only victims and discredits men from ever being victims even when there is ample evidence to the contrary). 

The percentage of America that is transgender is 0.3 percent and yet we are in such an uproar over this issue. It's a public bathroom- the best scenario is that you spend less than two minutes in there and then you are gone. I try to think about the person in the stall next to me as least as possible.

It must be exhausting to be one of these petition people who are constantly living in fear- fear of having their guns taken, fear of gay people, fear of transgender people going to the bathroom, fear of black people, fear of Mexicans, fear of atheists, fear of abortion, and fear of anything different than them. As for me, I mind my own business shit and keep my thoughts on myself not only while in a public bathroom but in my daily life. I think that's a good call.

*That never happens, really it doesn't.

** I literally just Googled "man exposes himself on subway" and got 32,000 results.
