Welcome back to today’s article.

In this article, I will discuss critical private spaces for women, why this is important for society, and why toilet space is an undiscussed issue for improving conditions for women.

Due to their bodies, women need longer toilet time.

This is due to factors such as the burden of childcare falling upon women and women having to go through the process of menstruation.

This was discovered on average: women spend 90 seconds using the toilet compared with men, which takes 40 to 60 seconds.

Also, women are experiencing the closure of public toilet spaces, and toilet spaces are becoming gender-neutral.

These gender-neutral toilets are not necessarily a good thing for women because women are at greater risk of sexual assault than men, and women require more toilets than men do due to male toilets having urinals.

The modern toilet is a piece of modern innovation and technology that we all take for granted.

It is critical to improving conditions for women, which is the whole purpose of feminism.

George Jennings, an English sanitary engineer and plumber who invented the first public flush toilets in 1851, invented modern toilets.
