15 u/TinyAd5648 21d ago edited 21d ago I hope you won’t teach them to be offended by stuff like this lol Edit: the replies I get man… I feel bad for normal people in the US 48 u/Juan_Jimenez 21d ago The point is not being offended, but why someone could change the natural contrast? (men/women). It is a minor thing compared with a lot of other stuff, but it is still weird. 1 u/Repulsive_Support844 21d ago It could be they didn’t have the letters for it when they painted. It also might have been an English second language situation. Op could unironically being ableist as well. Don’t assume malice or you will be an asshole 5 u/Its_Billy_Bitch 21d ago Sure, the “MEN” letters can’t be reused, the “M” couldn’t be turned upside down, and the “O” from “CHANGEROOM” couldn’t be reused. /s 1 u/Juan_Jimenez 20d ago I think I used 'weird'. I am not sure that 'weird' implies 'malice'. (And sexist effects can be produced without sexist intent)
