Breaking the Gender Barrier: A Reflection on Public Spaces

In this eye-opening video, we witness a bold act challenging societal norms. A woman steps into a male public restroom rather than waiting in line, only to be met with hostility and outrage from the men present. It's a stark reminder of the deeply ingrained gender norms that dictate our public spaces.

This incident prompts us to ponder: Why is it so shocking to see a woman in a traditionally male-dominated space? Why are public facilities still so heavily gendered in the 21st century? These questions lead us to a broader conversation about gender equality and the need to break down barriers that limit individuals based on their gender.

Public restrooms, like many other spaces, are often designed with a binary understanding of gender in mind. But this video serves as a powerful reminder that gender is not binary – it's a spectrum. Everyone, regardless of gender identity, deserves equal access to public facilities without fear of judgment or harassment.

As we continue to advocate for gender equality, let's work towards creating more inclusive public spaces where everyone feels welcome and respected, regardless of gender. It's time to break down the barriers and build a more equitable world for all.

Israel runs out munitions, granted a pause to reload

Letter from the West Bank Israel continues to deliberately target residential buildings, hospitals,schools, bakeries, flour mills, water storage facilities and other publicfacilities. But they will get to pause occasionally over the next few days– like a rapist agreeing reluctantly to take a break occasionally. >6000children were killed in the pointed genocidal campaign to drive Gazans toSinai…

Sangat amazed si dengan kemajuan jakarta sekarang. . Banyak public facility yang diimprove sedemikian rupa menarik untuk digunakan. . Selain lagi banyak antusias masyarakat untuk mencoba public transportation, fasilitas ini gak kalah kecenya. Namanya JPO (Jembatan Pemyebrangan Orang). . Yes sekarang udah sekeran inu di jalan protokol sepanjang jalan Jendral Soedirman. Bersih dari pedagang asongan, user friendly banget untuk semua kalangan. Dan untuk beberapa JPO ini terintegraai dengan Transjakarta Station. Next nya si pas MRT beroperasi akan semakin terintegrasi karna letaknya gak jauh juga. . . Keren kan..!!! Maju kan..!!! . . Yuk bantu Rawat, Jaga dan gunakan Public Facility. Share di Social Media kalian biar masyarakat tau dan antusias gunakan. . . . #arytravelbook #maukemanadotcom #liburangakribet #explorejakarta #JPO #MRT #MRTjakarta #publicfacilities (at Gelora Bung Karno (Senayan-Jakarta-Indonesia)) https://www.instagram.com/arysetiawann_/p/BvTBhmlB5rf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ufzo1rso0v2d

New encampment sweep propsal sounds slightly better than the old one

At long last—after literal years of pleas from activists, advocates, Councilmembers, and folks living outside, not to mention the sweep of the Jungle—an update to the MDAR has been released. You can see it here. 

The draft rules are based on the recommendations of a task force that Mayor Ed Murray hastily convened back in September, largely to try to thwart the proposed legislation coming down the pike from the ACLU and Columbia Legal. 

From the draft rules:

Compared to the existing rules, the new rules:

—Identify specific criteria for prioritizing the removal of encampments; —Require the offer of a shelter alternative in order to remove many encampments; —Require the City to deliver materials it stores from encampments to their owners; and —Streamline the process for removing encampments that obstruct the intended use of publicfacilities like sidewalks and parks.

That third bullet point is really crucial; previously, when personal belongings were swept, they were locked up at City Hall or thrown away, which was extremely disruptive and awful for the folks living in encampments. This would require that belongings be returned. 

Additionally, the draft rules require a that the sweep be conducted on a specific date, which might make it easier for folks to plan.

However, some components are missing—for example, the current rules require a notification be posting, but don’t stipulate in which language, or at what grade level the language should be. This is a massive accessibility issue. 

And while the offer of services is an improvement, there’s still the issue of the fact that the services being offered may not work for everyone. Without enough actual housing (of all kinds—transitional, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive, or market rate), the choice between a tent somewhere else and a mat on the floor with 200 other people isn’t great. 

There’s also a public commentary period. If you’re interested, you can reach out. 

Image: Letter about proposed rules. Directs readers to send emails to frances.samaniego@seattle.gov if you have comments about sweeps. They’ re due Feb. 15 at 5pm. 

But I mean, it’s not a silver bullet, right? Small updates are better than none, and anything is better than the current sweep protocol.
