Gender-neutral toilets? Come on!

Le Regard Libre N° 51 - Danilo Heyer

On Wednesday May 22, Jonas Follonier, editor-in-chief of this magazine, shared on social networks a photo of the men's toilet door at the Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines of the Université de Neuchâtel. On the door was a small poster masking the male logo and stating that «the toilets had been made gender-free because the male-female sigils displayed on the toilets oppress a section of the university population». The action was instigated by the «UniNE collective for the women's* and feminist strike», which is «calling for a boycott of these stereotyped, medieval codes».

«Every day I spend in the university (which, fortunately, is rare) gives me a chance to have a good laugh at the stupidity around me». Jonas Follonier's humor is very welcome. Po
