The Disaster In the Girls’ Restroom

By: Anonymous

So as the rest of society, you’d assume that girls are cleaner than guys right? WRONG! Well studies haven’t shown accurate data due to the differences in circumstances of the males and females tested. Though my opinion is that us girls aren’t the model of cleanliness society presents us as. And it’s all because of our….RESTROOMS! I mean have you seen it lately? Though I rarely use the public restrooms due to the cleanliness, when I do use VAPA’s restrooms, they are a complete M-E-S-S. I mean there are tissues everywhere except on the rolls and in the holders, the sinks are clogged with tissues, eyelash containers, makeup wipes, hair, etc. Also, there’s always water all over the floors. Like, girls, are we having water fights in the restrooms now? I know it’s hot, but gosh it’s our restroom, we have to keep it clean. Public restrooms are already known for being dirty and full of bacteria and germs and that’s a common reason why they aren’t used, but all we’re doing is making that situation worse. I have no idea what the guys restroom is like because i’ve never been in there, but if you abolished gender roles on the restroom doors, the world would assume, with their prejudices and closed minds, that the girls’ restroom belonged to the boys.

Now for those asking, "Well how are we going to do that?” here’s some options. We can either keep it clean like the mature young adults we are or result to cleaning it as punishment. See I would rather go with the first option, but there are those who might feel like that’s too much so as an alternative, I feel like those caught defacing the school, have at least an hour in detention, etc. should have to clean it. Even though it would be much easier for us to grow up and keep it clean ourselves. We continuously ask for upgrades to our restroom like feminine hygiene products, etc., but we can’t even handle and take care of what we already have. We gotta fix it ladies.
