It isn't that hard to understand.
Jethros mom is 100% opposed to black people sharing a bathroom with her. I would tell her to get over it.
Pre HB2 North Carolina: a person who is caught video taping/peeping in a bathroom is arrested.

So you're equating being black with a mental disorder?
Nice.

That's like saying "That 350lb woman is sexier than that 450lb woman."
Both stores are trash and cater to trash.
Well I personally prefer Dollar General. I don't have to get all dressed up to go there.
They recently opened a dollar general about 4 miles from my farm. It's 8 miles closer than anywhere else to buy toilet paper (and a lot of other stuff since its the only store within a 20 minute drive).

Same. The walmart near me feels like I'm shopping in a 3rd world country.
Not that I really care about the issue at hand in either direction, but I don't know the last time I went to the bathroom in a department store. Maybe never honestly. Their facilities could be a hole in the ground in the shipping bay or a luxurious spa-like facility and it wouldn't make a difference to me because I'm not going to be in a Target long enough to go to the bathroom anyway.

Most Wal Mart's are trash. At least my Target has a Starbucks and a Pizza Hut inside.

And yet people would have you believe that someone is just waiting in the restroom to film you dropping a load.

It'll probably happen more over the summer, what with school being out and the perverts many of them employ having so much free time and all.

If you are a male you must be under 50 years old.

They're just now recovering from the whack they took from the hacking thing last year and now they wade into this needless crap?
Seems they are hell bent on driving their Co. off the rails like Montgomery ward or Circuit City and countless others.
Bad business.

It's the shiny object syndrome.
Distract folks with insignificant crap like this made up "controversy" and perhaps they don't focus as much on their unemployment, under employment or that of friends and family. Or the countless number of other issues currently spiraling out of control.
Thats a great theory IMO.

You let your 6 year old go into the restroom by herself? Screw that crap. I take my daughter into the men's with me.

There is a simple rule of thumb. If you look like a woman use the ladies room. If you look like a man use the man's room. If you are wearing a dress and a beard, hold it until you get home.

RE: More than 500,000 boycott Target over transgender bathroom policy
A dad speaks out on Target's policy...
Quote:Tirzah and I went to #Target this morning.
I explained to her on the way how some men think they're women and wear dresses and makeup and want to use the women's washrooms instead of the men's. I asked her what she thought of that. She said, "That's weird." And was quiet for abit. Then she said, "If a man walked into the women's washroom I'd fight him until he got out!"
We kept talking and I explained to her that we should be kind and loving to everyone, because everybody is a person with a heart and feelings. But that you can also disagree with the way they're acting, and think it's weird.
So we got to Target and introduced ourselves to the manager. I asked her on a practical level how Target's policy worked out if my six-year-old daughter walked into the women's restroom and someone with a biologically male body walked in behind her. She said Target has always had a policy of non-discrimination, and that if parents had concerns we could use the family rooms, or Tirzah could come in the men's washroom with me. I told her that as a concerned dad, I'm uncomfortable with Target's decision to allow people with male bodies in the women's washrooms. And that we think it's weird. We thanked her and left. I kept the whole conversation really polite and as relaxed as possible.
So here's what so wrong about this. Target's recent 'inclusivity' announcement concludes by saying "Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target." Really? Telling me you're ok with men walking into the bathroom behind my baby girl actually doesn't make me feel like I belong. It didn't make her feel like she belonged either, to hear the manager tell us that in person. Basically Target just told us - and millions of concerned parents - that we're no longer accepted, respected, and welcome in their stores.
My friends, Target has crossed a line, and I believe this is a test case. If you're a concerned parent I invite you to do three things. 1. Share this story. 2. Then go to your nearest Target and do exactly what we did. 3. Then share your story, and use this hashtag: #byetarget
I'm not angry. I don't hate. I'm just a dad who love

RE: More than 500,000 boycott Target over transgender bathroom policy
Top Twenty-Five Stories Proving Target’s Pro-Transgender Bathroom Policy Is Dangerous to Women and Children
As the boycott of Target stores over its pro-transgender bathroom policy grows, the question of just who such a policy puts in danger is a natural one to ask. As these policies proliferate across the country, the number of stories of predators threatening women and children in public restrooms is also growing by the day
