LET ME EXPLAIN:

I've read a thread about Americans who went to high school in the 80's, 90's or early 2000's, and apparently some people experienced a weird phenomenon where their school removed their bathroom stall doors, with the "misbehaviour" excuse.

To me it was very shocking to hear that. It would be unthinkable for that to happen in my country, even back then.

Has it ever happened to you? How long did it last?

(I'm not talking about doors being broken down by other students, but I'm talking about the administration intentionally removing all stall doors, or some doors).

Now, the information might be skewed, but when browsing various threads about US schools back in the 90's, I've seen many men saying they didn't even have stall doors in high school.

Apparently it was a combination of underfunding, poor maintenance, and schools being so worried about weed/smoking that they resorted to removing stall doors and forcing teens to be exposed when they just wanted to take a shit..

I've seen people saying they had doors, but also people saying they *didn't* have doors.

Wtf happened back then?

I don't understand this at all.

Sometimes I've went into a post or comments section on the internet thinking "Oh this is a very good opinion/take, people definitely agree", and then I get a nasty surprise of many people somehow disagreeing..

For example: one time I saw an instagram post saying "r🍇pe is bad, regardless of gender", and the 2 top comments with hundreds of likes were 2 men defending r🍇pe against men/boys because "boys and girls are very different and it's not the same".

That is just ONE example of what I've seen.

I've also seen people being dismissive to another post that also had a very valid situation and opinion.
