Totally sexist and just plain illogical. Saw a post from a FB friend boasting about all the unisex toilets in Limerick and 'nobody got jumped , JK!' Although a unisex might actually be safer / busier than a woman's toilet ? I bet the TRAs are not wildly enthusiastic about unisex at all. Btw some men are not comfortable in unisex either. I'm agnostic on that but I hate mixed dorms in backpacker hostels. Which is most of them now. Obliging me to pay for a private room. If nothing else this controversy has revealed how inadequate women's bathroom facilities are in general

So an effective "pink tax" on female backpackers - pay more $ for privacy, or less $, but pay with your body/presence to rest among dudes. Moving backwards.
