  Don’t they just use the street anyway

    India is a huge country with lots of wealth inequality.

    While there have been gains in the last decade, in some areas it’s still common to not have indoor toilets in every residence, that’s people dealing with poverty.

    It’s not like they just don’t want bathrooms, they can’t afford them.

    Cracking jokes at their expense is very bad form, but there’s an equal chance you were just ignorant and legitimately asking, so I’m leaving the comment up.

    But in any area where “open defecation” is widespread in a community, it’s almost never because everyone prefers it. It’s what happens when the infrastructure for a biological need doesn’t exist. There’s literally no other option.

      It wasn’t a joke. I have a friend in india who says that people are stubborn and just use the street as it’s what they’re used to.

    Predictable comment from someone on a .uk domain.

      It is a genuine question - if that’s their cultural habit, do they even need a toilet. Kind of like how the Chinese don’t really desire better sewage infrastructure because they’re used to binning toilet paper as opposed to flushing it.

  Fix disparity immediately by declaring all public toilets gender neutral. No cost win.

  It was so kind of Elon to open up a new public bathroom, since there’s such a shortage. Everyone in Mumbai should use the new Tesla Experience Center to really show their appreciation of him.

  …acted swiftly by destroying more than half of the male toilets.
