Cosplay and Jfash feels go here.

I may have to miss an anime day on Saturday because I hurt my coochie. Tried waxing it for the first time ever last night, and didn't know you had to pull the skin tight. I was worried about having steel wool in my cosplay and now I probably can't go at all because my area is too bruised to walk.

>> No.10695249

Going on a vacation where I'll be in a swimsuit for a few days and I can't decide if I should buy a good quality $100 suit that's not my style but fits well and would last, or go for a cheap suit that might fit but is more along the lines of something I genuinely like in terms of style. The obvious answer should be the higher quality suit but they're all so boring if not ugly.

>> No.10695253

It makes me sad seeing how shorter women can just wear most lolita pieces comfortably without having to carefully check every measurement.
I wouldn't give up my height for it but i do wish brands would cater sizing to taller people rather than people who eat too much.

I think i gotta sell most of my closet because i finally found what really interests me and it’s not my current style or brand. I have some old moitie and mary magdalene.

finally found out the style i wanna wear (i’ve been bouncing between like 3 styles for years now, they’re not jfash tho) problem is i have no money for jp brand. i’ve made some jirai kei looks with stuff i already have in my closet or stuff i’ve bought from western brands but ofc nothing will compare to jp brand. i’m really sad because my bday is coming up and i’d love to have an outfit from like ank rouge or liz lisa but no money. the job i interviewed for said i may start next week but they also said i would start in 2 weeks like 2 weeks ago lol.

Please wash your fucking clothes. I just bought a skirt on my local lolita second hand sales. Since the seller was in the same town I met her, face to face, and... The skirt smelled subtly yet noticeably GROSS, and the wash water came out BROWN! I'm so fucking grossed out.

Space and decluttering. I live in a small apartment in a large city. I only have so much space for clothes. I have around 50 dresses which is pretty excessive considering how little I wear Lolita anymore. Other styles excite me more lately and I feel more comfortable in them.

Not the suicide anon but in a similar boat. I tried to start selling things in September, priced things low hoping they would move. I sold a few things sporadically, but it got to the point where is was too painful to get rid of clothing I searched and waited so long for with no one willing to bite.
Even selling my whole wardrobe would not even be close to what I need to turn my life around, and it's mostly brand. I was always going to be too poor to have lolita friends, but dressing up is one of the few things I still enjoy in life.

Not close to anyone right now, I've distanced myself from my closest friends for years now so there isn't even anything to miss. My family hasn't wanted anything to do with me for a long time. Things were looking up and I ruined it all with the choices I made. Maybe I could request to be buried in my dream dress, but I can't imagine anyone throwing down for a funeral for me.

Went on a family drive to los angeles last weekend and stopped by little tokyo. My Successful 30+ year old sister remembers that a comic con is coming soon and she wants to look for “cosplay” in those japanese stores.
I don’t really care because she’s the type who will intend to do stuff but will never follow through, like the fitness diet/regime that she stopped after a few months after adopting a disabled dog out of the blue

Back to the little tokyo segment, we left with nothing because she felt all the clothes are “too small”. I thought to myself ‘pfffft maybe because youre overweight bordering on mild obesity, shouldnt have stopped those gym and boxing classes and ordering 3 ala cartes minimum + dessert at a restaurant’.

the only possible reason i can imagine for a rule against periods excluding wearing tampons/cups would be if anon is trying to go like. shark diving. please tell me you are gonna jump in a shark tank. i want to believe.

also, get on birth control and tricycle so you can control whenever it arrives. Plan B sometimes can make your period earlier or later but I wouldn't count on it or doubling/tripling normal birth control pills as it can be unpredictable.

Genuinely thinking of quitting lolita fashion after a year and some change of actually being able to afford my wardrobe. Call me a covidlita, i don't care. I LOVE my wardrobe, it makes me so happy. I have dream dresses i've wanted since middle school, a great variety of blouses, shoes, bags, socks, even an usakumya. yet, I never wear it. i live in an area in Texas that is extremely unsafe. it's the kind of place you can get shot while walking down the street in your own neighborhood. the guy across the street and one house over had his house broken into and his wife raped and killed last week. a girl was shot dead one street over. the park is permanently closed because there was too much gang activity in the area and a girl got executed during the day a year ago. i hate it here. I don't have a car, work full time, don't have the physical or mental energy after working to go to school, and I live with my husband (who lost his job RIGHT after we got married and hasn't had work since). i love him to bits, he's a lovely man, and he also gets irrationally pissed even just driving down the street because the people here don't know how to drive and we get into car accidents almost daily (and we've been hit and run by an 18 wheeler before, so we both have ptsd from that). so even when i want to make plans to go somewhere, i think about how stressful it is to leave the house, how there's no place i can go, how i always feel like i'm in a rush to leave when i'm with him because all he ever wants to do is stay home and in his room. the only times I've been to the park/garden about 20 min from here in lolita, i had a bunch of hispanic families taking pictures of me and shouting at me while I was just trying to sit down and eat, and one lady asked if I was selling balloons for her kids. lol i specify hispanic because I don't speak spanish and it's extremely anxiety inducing having my pictures taken while I'm trying to relax on my 1 day off by people I can't communicate with.

samefag, i should also say that because i don't have a car and because where we live is so dangerous, i can't go anywhere by myself. my husband is with me 100% of the time except when i'm at work (in retail, where i have to wear a boring as fuck t shirt and pants uniform). the last time we went out and i was in a coord, i did have a lot of fun, but he got super anxious because the store we were in had really small aisles and it was busy (sunday), and after all that he didn't even take pictures of me that day because he forgot. :( he also complains that i take too long to get ready, so that's another reason i get anxious about leaving the house in lolita. i don't even do a lot of makeup, it takes me maybe an hour in total to get ready to go. anyway, i would love to take coord shots and post them online, but i've been struggling with severe depression and just can't bring myself to want to participate in tiktok/instagram/facebook shit, it's all so fake and clout chase-y, i don't want followers or attention, i don't want associated with the pronoun gendie crowd, i've been harassed on my art account simply for not having BLM shit in my profile (seriously)... i'm done with online spaces. i just want to be left alone, but i feel so extremely lonely because i'm not a part of any communities, and the local comm here is super clique-y and cringey and full of itas. I've met a few irl at a con, and they were literally talking about nothing but their gender identities/gender envy over my hero acadamia characters and sex toys. y u c k.

any other lonelitas here who want to email or something? should i just sell my wardrobe and forget about lolita fashion since it doesn't work with my lifestyle? i'm so tired. it's all so tiresome. i just want to be cute, go places a few times a month, take cute pics of myself or have my husband do so since life is short and i just want to feel pretty sometimes and have fun... instead i'm stuck inside 99% of the time while life passes me by...

I don't think you should quit it if you still love the fashion despite your circumstances. Instead, keep your wardrobe and save it when you are able to enjoy them. In the meantime, go to the shooting range, there's often discounts for women, learn how to use a gun and get your license. Buy one and protect yourself when you go out. If you're going to be attacked, best to do as much damage as you can. Most attackers do it out of wanting to induce fear and control. It confuses them and throws them off if you act otherwise and even if they do manage to take you out, leave em with a scar, broken fingers, busted nut, missing eye. Whatever it takes, plus you'll look great. Get into active shape while you're at it and maybe you can beat his ass.

well sure, i guess i do need therapy. i just don't know how i'm supposed to afford it. i've thought this out. if i sell everything i have, I'd have maybe 3k. i make about 2k a month already. i have about 1.4k in bills monthly. after all is said and done, i have about $600 worth of spending money after that. therapists around me are all around $60-80/hr. if I get 2 hours worth of therapy twice a week which has been suggested to me, that's $240 spent only to talk to someone for help. and i can't drive there, and i don't have public transportation in my area (and no sidewalks either), so that's about a $40 uber charge on top of that. I can't spend $280/week and have maybe $300 left in my bank account each month. with the 3k I'd get from my wardrobe, I technically could buy a used car, but I could not afford the upkeep/tires/inspection/oil changes/insurance.

>>10696965
I don't logically see myself ever having the money to move (including safety deposits, what people are charging for rent nowdays, gas/water/electric, etc), and I can't afford a divorce. I do love him and want to see him get better, but due to a poor stint in a shitty mental health facility, he's not interested in taking medication for his condition (general anxiety disorder brought on by stress). We live with his parents, one of which is about to retire, and they don't financially support me at all. We're more like roommates.

I actually have a license to carry :) can't carry at work (my job will fire you if you bring any self defense weapons to work) but i do carry when I go out. it's an awful area I live in, gangbangers drive around with tinted windows & shit, and I've been followed home after having to walk to the corner store once for medicine and soup. i dressed like a guy and covered my face/hair w a hoodie but they could still tell i was a woman & followed me. i got inside safely and called the cops but got no help. i didn't leave the house for a week.

I used to be in a similar situation. One of my jobs was the same way, you couldn't even keep pepper spray. Almost got mugged on my way home from work but I chased after the guys and this was in a nicer area too. I didn't catch them but they ended up dropping my purse while after them and I got my stuff back. That shit sucks but it's something that can happen almost anywhere and you're right, cops don't really help much in these situations so the best you can do is be prepared. I wish you luck but don't let others be the reason you can't enjoy lolita.

I don't know if it's the same where you are, but security here is half assed. I carry a knife with me in a little My Melody coin purse that has tampons in it. When they search, they just see the bag and think nothing of it and even if they open it, they just see the tampons first. Won't help with metal detectors of course and this is only if you know they're half assed. If they were to find it and ask, just apologize and say you forgot you had that in there, you carry it for protection. Offer for them to hold onto it while you're in the building and you can pick it up when you leave. The more polite you are, the less suspicious of you they'll be and most law enforcement already know the potential dangers women have to go through.

Another possibility is to be upfront with HR about your situation and why you feel unsafe, work out what you can do, and even if they deny it, get it in writing. So that if something does happen, go to the media (or have your husband do it if you don't make it.) They'll love a story on how this business inadvertedly caused the death/injury of an employee because they didn't allow her to protect herself and proof that you tried to work with them beforehand with a plan.

Never ever ever ever say you’re carrying a knife for protection. Always say it’s for utility, or just refuse to give a reason altogether. Saying it’s for protection allows police to classify it as a weapon, which opens a whole legal can of worms. Not talking out of my ass, you can google this.

I'm constantly scared of looking ita. My coords never look as good as the ones that get posted on insta and twitter so I keep spending more money finding accessories to perfect my coords. I used to wear my dresses out but my coords are so basic bitch that normies don't even realize it's an alt fashion. They think all my AP is just cute handmade dresses.

'Basic coords' are fine if that's what you like and are comfortable with. I hardly ever wear loads of accessories when I'm just wearing Lolita out and about doing normie things.

This board rarely has anything good anymore except the DIY threads and occasional interesting photo dumps. Lolita threads have become, even more so than before, derailment about someone being fat or poor or railing against people who’ve done nothing wrong aside from post coord pics on the internet. Plenty of fine coordinates get ripped apart here, largely because of who’s wearing them. Take everything with a grain of salt, no pun intended. This board is where alt women come to be unnecessarily catty under the guise of “good harsh concrit.” This board is truly unique in how miserable, spiteful, and unfunny its posters are. Truly up there with /r9k/. I keep coming back and posting in hopes it gets better, but it doesn’t.

Now I feel so shitty and want to give up lolita. because i’m still depressed by the stuff he did to me, that nothing makes me feel happy. I look at my closet and feel barely anything about it.

Get into FDS and never settle for a pornsick scrote again. You’ll hurt for a bit, but now is not the time to give up lolita.

Pick up a hobby you’ve always had your eye on, or just dive deep into one you’ve put down. But once enough time passes and you get over him and start feeling more anger than sadness, take a look at lolita with fresh eyes. Your perspective may change once you stop giving a shit about his garbage opinion.

He pushed me to do things he saw in porn that would hurt me and he would show me porn pics. Didn’t care if i was hurting physically and kept doing it.
Kept asking me to send him nude pics in my lolita (which i never did thank god.). Told me that i looked innocent/schoolgirl in front of my family. Would yell at me suddenly instead of talking if something bothered him. Stopped showing me affection. He gaslit me if I tried to talk to him how unacceptable this was. He would say that he really cared so much about me.
Sounds retarded to date someone like that right? he was very nice and seemed like a really good guy in the beginning. I knew him for a year before dating him and everyone thought he was cool. and then he changed into this fucking degenerate . which made me think maybe i was actually crazy. i kept hoping he’d change back to how he was. but eventually i caught on.

One of my ex's did something similar. When I got into lolita he would beg and try to pull me into having sex with him while wearing it and got pissed when I told him no. Then argued that I loved my dresses more than I loved him.

Same with cosplay, I spent months making my outfits and their not even skimpy. But he always begged to fuck in them. There were other things that he did but that was the last straw. He now calls me a crazy prude bitch behind my back. Sometimes I really wish I was a lesbian.

You women should start demanding that countries bring back mandatory military service. Men learn the basics of sewing and cleaning there out of necessity.
I'm asking about the dressing up someone because there are various looks I love but buying clothes I like and telling a gf to wear it for my pleasure feels like I'm playing with my flesh Barbie. "It puts the pedal pusher pants and low heel sandals on or it gets the hose again."

Why do women have to demand it? If you want it, rally up your fellow men to demand for it. Personally I'm against mandatory military service for anyone but I agree everyone should learn the basics of sewing and cleaning in schools like they used to. By the time I got to high school they removed home economics from my town. As for dressing up for the pure fun of it, that doesn't sound bad at all just let her do the same to you if she wants.

bought a baby wool coat for winter and originally thought it was the 2021 little princess coat bc i didn’t hunt through lolibrary. turns out it’s the 2005 melody coat release and even though i know that’s not particularly rare, it’s nice to have an older release especially because it’s in near perfect condition (only flaw is it’s missing the fur on the pockets). mine is the b/w color way and the lace is absolutely gorgeous. it’s pretty big around the waist but if i attach the waist tie thing to two of the front buttons then it doesn’t look comically oversized.

DESU that's not great, even if you think it's getting the old school cred--it's really not. Coats tend to get worn out a lot more from weather conditions, so they typically get a lot of piling and wear along with on the fur.

Coats also aren't very attractive second hand, either. And especially not old ones. So I'm not sure how you are finding this appealing, because I don't think anyone is going to be envious of an old worn out coat.

my best advice is to take a class or get really into some hobby to break you out of the cycle you’re in. see if any colleges near you offer cheap Japanese classes, or take up a specific sport that you’re excited about (this will help you get some exercise and also mean you’re working at something, seeing improvements in a hobby feels really good). video games are fun but there’s almost no way to not get depressed when you’re playing them all day every day. also, make sure you’re drinking enough water and getting some fresh air every day. vitamin d supplements might help too, some of my friends have had depression really improve with them.
yes this is all generic, but if you’re not doing these things on a semi-regular basis then you’ll definitely feel better if you do them. also, 27 is still young so you definitely have the potential to turn things around.
also idk to what degree this is true, but I’ve heard people say that motivation isn’t the key to success, discipline is. it’s a mindset that has helped me stay consistent with my goals even when i lose my motivation to pursue them.

Progress takes time anon. It won't be overnight and there will be setbacks.
But if you keep at it little by little you can get closer to achieving your goals.
Try to set small milestones for yourself so you don't feel like you're trying to climb some insurmountable mountain. Cut yourself some slack, keep your chin uup, and remember to congratulate yourself when you do make progress.
Try not to get discouraged and give up when you fail. You can fail once or even a thousand times but what matters most is that you keep getting back up.

I realized there's nothing that makes a man "a real man" and it's in fact, all just patriarchal bullshit where other men evaluate and judge you constantly and then if you don't pass the manhood test, they will go out of their way to hurt you and they consider you less than human. Seems this is what the women go through as well. There are videos out there of gay or just even weaker men getting literally beat to death by some "manly men". I got bullied so hard my entire childhood for just being kinda different. And now I'm scared of wearing fashion that's kinda "fruity", even if it's specifically designed for men. I'm also imagining sitting with a group of men, drinking beer and telling them about my interests and I can hardly think of scarier social situations to be in lol

Actually no. Half of the reason trannies exist is because of men shaming other men for doing things they deem as womanly and gay. Infact, some countries even promote transwomen to go under the knife because in their eyes it's better to be a transwoman than a gay man. Men have been beating and bullying each other into following a certain masculine hivemind that have left those that stick out confused.
>I like pink and dresses but I am a man
>but I am told that is for women
>I must be woman
That's how this mental illness starts. Men have started to believe that only women can be cute or pretty so instead of just being a femboy, gay, or just a man who likes what society deems as "girly" they end up brainwashing themselves to fit the binary norm. Drunk off of porn and the ideal woman through a man's eye to the point several have fetishized it.

Trans people of course existed back then but they weren't shoving themselves into everyone's faces and screaming. Rocky Horror was iconic and praised by them and now it's seen as "harmful and offensive" to the trannies today. In the past they knew how to laugh at themselves and be strong through actual hardships they faced of being raped, beaten and killed by men.

Now they cry about pronouns and blame women for being killed in the streets just because they don't agree with them. It's all so titiresome. I used to not call myself a terf but I'm leaning toward the term more and more because it's become synonymous with just being a ciswoman to them.

Various comments on social media responding to others that don't agree with them. Several seem to think comments online is on the same level as actually killing them. I started to see this kind of thing come out of the woodwork when the whole J.K. shit happened. Not to mention cis women not being real women apparently? Vaginas being referred to as "front holes" which is very close to what misogynistic anons here refer to women as "holes."

Women in my country have a history of fighting in wars or doing backbreaking work in shitty conditions to keep the front line from collapsing. They proved their strength, their will and value. They are respected and they didn't put down the men to do so. You never hear about them or similar women of other countries in feminist media and courses. You hear about "activists" who screech and maybe march until a man gives them more benefits and another man enforces them. Your "fighting" is throwing a tantrum until someone who sees you as a vote or a hole tries to buy your favour. Go become someone who invokes respect for other qualities.

Just jumping in and agreeing, but trans are ridiculously misogynistic when they are loud. It's reversing everything feminism has worked for, because they want 'conformed' gender roles. Not to mention that bringing a man with a dick (which a lot of these were forever alone incels before they 'converted' without cutting off their dick) into a woman's private space is ridiculously unsafe. There's been many instances of rape in bathrooms, already.

And every single time a trans man was in the bathroom with me, they also wanted to 'connect' with me in a stall. Yes. I'm serious. They start talking to you and acknowledging you there, when you're not close at all. It's weird autistic levels of incel shit.

Most trans people who get murdered (in the US anyway) are prostitutes and addicts living on the street who were killed by dealers and pimps. You can look up the actual crimes and almost all of them fall into this category. The murders have little to do with the trans aspect and are related to having a generally dangerous lifestyle, but the media tries to make it sound like they are random “hate crimes” committed by bigots. Also the actual number of these murders is very low.

nta but i assume they turn to those sorts of work because of society generally be unaccepting and shunning them for being 'freaks' when most of them prolly just want to live life normally as their desired gender. there's also the intersection of race and the fact that the black community is just as homophobic as others and black and poc trans women in particular are the ones getting murdered all the time (and they're also likelier to be poor which would make sex work seem appealing when they're already maybe disowned by family and homeless or broke), but then white, usually wealthy and privileged trans women with platforms co-opt that suffering and struggle and remove the socioeconomic and racial elements constantly to victimize themselves.

trans women aren't ever the thing that we're most worried about though. our biggest fears are people pretending to be trans to hurt women. so we're afraid of men, who are already hurting women just fine without trans bathroom rights or sports rules or whatever else. trans women are just as problematic as any other woman, which obviously all groups of people can be problematic, but they're an easy scapegoat for fears that we really have of men. men or amab people aren't all predators though.

Most people who identify as trans have myriad other mental health problems such as depression and this can lead them self-medicate with drugs and other self destructive behavior. Not to mention potential harmful side effects of all the hormones and drugs they take to transition. They don’t want to address their other issues and think that becoming the opposite sex and getting validation will solve all their problems, but it doesn’t and often just makes the other things worse because they have the added insecurity of trying to fit in with a group they didn’t originally belong to. Imo the current climate of immediate acceptance and encouragement to transition without question is going to be harmful in the long run because it pushes people to irreversibly change their bodies instead of first considering that the root of their unhappiness might be something else that can be treated in a less extreme way.

Agreed with both of these. Especially on how a large majority of people who claim to be trans, aren't trans at all. Not just the predator types but those confused and having other mental problems that other people tell them it's because they're trans or non-binary. I went through a phase in my teenage years of wanting to be a boy because I hated being looked at as a girl. I realized I didn't hate being a girl, I hated the reactions of OTHERS responding to me being a girl. I hated my breasts being commented on but didn't hate my breasts. I hated old men trying to pick me up when walking home from school or having my ass grabbed in public by strangers.

I watched over the course of years men in my friend groups go through similar judgment and expectations from others based on them being male, make them want to be female to escape those pressures, not because they actually thought they were a woman. If society changed it's ways in these aspects, you would see a significant drop in trannies. Then actual trans people can get proper study and help they need.

ayrt, encouragement to transition and simply being accepting of their identity/dysphoria/not immediately mistreating or hating them because of them feeling trans is very different. there is evidence that shows even people who don't get surgery or medically transition in societies that are more accepting of trans people are less likely to commit suicide or deal with mental health struggles.

It's not really luck unless you mean I'm lucky to be neurotypical. I've had my own hardships and traumas in life but they haven't affect me long term. I've had animals die in front of me, starved due to not having enough for food, left alone with strange men asking me odd questions, have a mother with PTSD go through depression and threats of murder suicide with me, had to stop her from being beaten, lived in a room with bullet holes, stained mattresses had all my stuff sold without my consent, have had years of my art destroyed in front of me as well as the only VHS tape of my childhood as well as photos, chased, attacked. I've cried and had moments of being sad and unfortunately these feel like the only things I can relate with people but I'm not depressed or traumatized. There's nothing wrong with me but being around everyone who have had lasting impressions from their horrible pasts and seeing how they are as a result, makes me think something may be wrong with me? Or not. It feels like it's weird to be happy or normal and talking about good things that's happening in the world or myself or others is met with disdain.

nta this whole idea that they are victims is completely wrong. it's LITERALLY a power thing. no one is victimizing them out there.

I have a friend who got into sex work and porn after becoming 'trans.' He admits he didn't cut his dick off, but he did take hormones *at one point*

He has had a shit ton of mental illness, used to be addicted to heroine, and has always been pretty perverse. DESU I think the idea that these people are victims is an entirely wrong mindset. All they are is "easy" to mold from society, because the beliefs that the trans community pushes on people is literally on the level of cultist bullshit. Because I say BELIEF, because these people literally BELIEVE and FORCE EACH OTHER to believe certain "facts" that aren't rooted in science.

I feel sorry for people out there that are actually trans. I may be a TERF but I'm well aware of and know people who hate what that community has become, just as you said. Some stay in the closet because they don't want to be associated with those people. They're fine with people fucking up pronouns, they're fine with other people not seeing them as women because it only matters to themselves what they see, and they're fine with being excluded from sex based female spaces because they're fully aware of the safety reasons why. We even had a discussion on men's bathrooms being so dangerous not just for trans people, but for men and boys in general and that should be fixed regardless of gender shit.

From my experience, what I see as changing is open bathrooms where there's no privacy (and they are tight spaces) and it's actually a bit scary going into an unknown area without someone you.. This is coming from a progressive area, so you're going to all be seeing relatively unsafe bathrooms eventually. Seriously, another woman even suggested I have someone stand guard. That's how bad the bathroom was/is..regardless of a progressive area we all recognize this is entirely bad.

I've actually seen something like that in my city. One of the new theaters built, the bathroom is unisex. It's an open hallway of sinks and mirrors that anyone passing by can look into but the toilets are in individual stalls with doors that actually reach the ground and near ceiling so no peeking can be done. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the toilets are more private than normal stalls and on the other when you step out to fix yourself up in the mirror, you'll be standing next to men washing their hands. The open hallway gives some safety because anyone passing can see what's going on but if it's a slow day and no one is around, who knows what could happen.

Yeah, but it takes a business being relatively not poor to make a larger open and safer space. Realistically, the issue is that they sound proof those doors and if some guy wants to come out and grab you from a door then it takes nothing at all to do that.

The bathrooms I've been in with smaller businesses there are small concave spaces that make it *REALLY* easy for someone to just pop out and kidnap you.

Realistically, if people think that's not going to be a problem then they don't know how bad men can be from just having a raging hard dick.

Completely floor to ceiling (or mostly) bathroom stall doors are common outside of burgerland. In Japan even some squat toilet stalls have that level of privacy.

They actually are. That was part of the reason gendered bathroom were even made in the first place. (Note I say PART of the reason.) Men tend to be more impulsive when it comes to actions and people in general are more likely to do things they know they can get away with. There's a reason why there is more assaults' in men's bathroom's than in women's bathrooms.
>all that happens if a man goes in a woman's bathroom and gets caught is that they pretend it was an accident.
It depends on who else is in the bathroom because men have been arrested or kicked out of establishments for going in the wrong bathroom, and some women too the other way around.

If the bathrooms are not gendered, they don't have to pretend and there won't be grounds to kick them out. It's not a perfect one, but it's one guard that is broken down. If men can freely enter bathrooms without needing to hide, it will be much easier for them to follow women inside/place recording devices in the stalls, etc.

The thing is he would have a much harder time to do this. A man in a woman's bathroom is quickly shoo'd out if he does not of his own accord and reported.
