This is why sex-segregated restrooms exist.  It has nothing to do with "prudery."  They are a necessity for women to participate in the world outside the home by making them safer from predatory males.

In the Victorian period, the lack of public facilities for women was intentional as a way of controlling their movements and keeping them out of public spaces, argues Dr Clara Greed, emerita professor of inclusive urban planning at the University of the West of England in Bristol.

There was a negative attitude towards building women's toilets as it was considered improper for women to use public facilities, she adds. "This is why women simply would not come out of their homes for long periods."

Public institutions, including educational buildings, workplaces and recreational spaces, were designed around the needs of men. Women tried to cope with the lack of toilets in a variety of ways, including drinking less water, holding in urine for hours, and spending less time in public spaces, says Meghan R Dufresne, architectural designer at the Institute for Human Centred Design in Boston in the US.

“He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing,” Ford said.

The Post interview marks the first time that Ford has allowed her name to be disclosed since her accusations against Kavanaugh became public last week. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
