Which one?

Comment comment by Occams on 17 November 2007

I would translate "unisex" as meaning one sex. Should all the toilets be male of female then?

Perhaps he means bi-sex?

RE: Which one? by VnutZ :: NR8

It's supposed to mean the single-shared bathroom for both men and women. After all, one might ask themselves why there are two bathrooms to begin with. To keep men and women separate to avoid ogling, sexual deviance or outright rape situations? If that's the case, then the existence of gays and lesbians destroys that notion. Thus - is there any actual reason to continue building two separate facilities?

A monosex bathroom would be for one sex. Unisex has the same root as unite. It is a bathroom that unites the sexes. This is consistant with other words like unibrow and unitarian and such. It is true that there are exceptions such as unicycle, but the prefix is used correctly in unisex.
