Women's Room at Macquarie uni (2 Viewers)

[pimp!@#]

Can anyone please explain to me what goes on in the womens room....

 

[pinkbella]

Can't say, haven't been in there yet...

But for some reason, I'm doubting it's wild lesbian orgies...sorry to disappoint the hopeful

 

[thommy]

Where is it? I've never heard of/seen it.

"The Women's Room, located on Level 1 of the U@MQ Building, is designed to provide women with a safe space for meeting, study and relaxation, and has in the past also supported women with a range of information resources and emergency supplies. We would like to hear the views of women on the future development of this space, in particular what kind of environment and what services you would like to see provided in future.

The meeting is open to all female staff and students; boys under 12 years of age are welcome.

For further information please contact Ruth Tregale, U@MQ Sustainability Manager, on ext 7600 or email ruth.tregale@mq.edu.au."

I demand an equivalent Men's Room, where men can gather and speculate about what *really* happens in the Women's Room.

 

[dp624]

why boys <12 years though? seems rather random

oh right, maybe their children or something.... still random

I go there to study when the libraries full, its always very quiet.

 

[Pwnage101]

why is there a women's room, and no men's room?

seems sexist to me...

 

[-may-cat-]

queer space? The womens room is more for women with kids, they can't have them running around in the library etc while they study. (at least ive found)

What sort of "emergency supplies" would the Men's Room have?

I'm a woman and have never been there, probably will never be there, and am really not sure why women need to have this "relic" from back in the days of "liberation".

I could sort of understand if it is a space for women with kids (those boys and girls under 12yrs of age), but maybe they can come up with a better name for it? Or maybe they could make it a Parent's Room so that men with kids can have somewhere to go as well??????

(sorry for replying to more than one post this afternoon - I'm taking a break from studying for a BIOL246 (Human Physiology) mid-term test)

The Women's Room is pretty great. I don't feel so oppressed by men there. All those books on menopause are pretty handy too.

Wow.. not to sound sexist or anything, but.. every other guy I've asked about whether they have a favourite toilet in uni has looked at me as if I was nuts ... you're the first male I have encountered who has a favourite toilet (this is meant in nice way)

Oh my god - wow.... why did someone dig this up? Why go reading threads that old? This is practically a miraculous resurrection

The women's room is not that flashy and could do with a bit of a re-vamp, and out of curiosity, do you feel oppressed by men in other places? If so, is it because of the way they behave/act or just because of their presence?

I think she was being sarcastic.

I believe it originated back in the day when females were the minority at university.
