The Needs Of The One
Remember how Mr. Spock from Star Trek used to always say: The Needs of the One outweigh the needs of the Many.

Right, you don’t because that’s the opposite of what he said. 

Recently, I have been faced with an issue that has caused irreparable damage to the left in recent decades. It’s a weird position where, in the name of equality, they demand preferential treatment for a few while simultaneously seeking to strip some basic dignities/rights from many to achieve this. Sometimes, like in the situation I find myself in, it involves questionable science coupled with feelings of the one trumping feelings of the many.

It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I think much of the absurdity (in my opinion, as well as many lifelong Democrats who feel abandoned by their party) in modern society is just such a thing. One clear example of this was years ago, in left leaning Tucson, they passed a bill that all public restrooms must be wheelchair accessible. 

On the surface, sounds logical. People in wheelchairs need to use the restroom like the rest of us. The problem? Many companies faced having to do major renovations on the buildings (some of the convenient stores were looking at needing to tear down walls that were necessary for support to the roof). Their (business) solution? 

No more public restrooms. So here we have a case where because roughly 7 million Americans use some form of assistive device need to use the restroom (not sure how many of those reside in the Tucson area, but guessing a small number when calculating the percentage to the 400,000k-1M Tucson swells to in winter months) the rest of America in the Tucson area will now have to hold it too.

**<center>My Recent Situation.</center>**

I work at a place that has about 80 employees. Recently, they hired a young woman who self identifies as a male. To compound this, she looks very feminine and highlights her feminine figure. She decided she is more comfortable using the men’s restroom instead of the women’s. This makes not only me uncomfortable, but every male working there. 

First, unlike the women’s restroom where there are only stalls, we have open urinals in ours. I already dislike the openness with other men, now it is further compounded having a female coming in.

Second, with the climate the Metoo and Believe Her movements have engendered, where men find themselves guilty until proven innocent I prefer to avoid situations where such a thing could even be initiated. I believe in the Pence rule, and did even before it got named after him. I’m a firm believer that many accidents/bad situations are not actually accidents, and could be avoided with careful foresight. As I have in other areas of my life, I have used the so called Pence rule in social settings (as have many men, hence a good part of the decline in roles such as male teachers). 

I am aghast at the situation I am in, and will probably be leaving my employment there very soon. It will not surprise me that several other of my male coworkers will be as well. Because one person decided they wanted this, the many of us affected will have decisions to make, whether to put ourselves in uncomfortable/risky situations or find employment elsewhere. From where I sit, I ask myself why she can’t self-identify as a male and use the restroom where others of her biological makeup use it? It comes across as very selfish on her part, and a need for attention (like the couples that should get a room with their overly aggressive PDA). 

These are bizarre times where the theme being doubled down on is always seeking for an equitable solution at the cost to the many. This is the reason so many turned out to vote for Trump in my opinion. Not because he was most suitable for the job, but because he was saying things so many are saying behind closed doors. I’m one of the few that says what needs saying publicly. Like when asking my boss about this, I asked him if she was to falsely accuse me of something, is she suddenly a woman again and I would face the hashtag Believe Her crap? I asked rhetorically as we already know the answer to this.

I’m pretty open minded, in the sense that I don’t care what others are doing if it doesn’t negatively impact my life. But I’m really tired of the doubling down to make sure my life is impacted, instead of trying to raise others up if feasible without tearing the majority down. Years ago, I heard a man sum up in one sentence my feelings on those who keep demanding shit at my expense.

>Frankly, I’m tired of hearing from these bitches.

I like what you write brother. It is high time for a restructuring of power, so sensible decisions can be arrived at. I am working (currently with a small group) on an understandable presentation and then implementation of a system which should resolve such issues, and indeed worldwide issues to restore peace and abundance to our world. It's called the Matrix-8 platform. More to follow on this soon. Let me know if you are interested in joining our Telegram duscussion grouo to help it move forward.
Namaste

Thank you. I don't do the Telegram or Discord and such. My time is taxed I almost have no time for Steemit anymore. I would be interested in what you come up with if you post it here however. 

I'm of a mind that the people farming us are purposely trying to make things bad, and they will not be toppled through direct opposition. It will only stop if people locally become reasonable with one another and begin cooperating to such a degree it nullifies what the self proclaimed masters far away set up.

Absolutely. This is how Matrix-8 will work. I will certainly post it on Steemit/Steempeak. If i am organised enough or i remember i will post a link here too :-)

Thanks for your answer.
Good luck with resolving your work issues.

The solution is simple and obvious. Close the inside toilets up, rent some port-a-potties and place them in the parking lot. Solves the issue completely, also allows for a place for some to have a smoke while taking care of business.

That would be viable, other than I imagine they would ban smoking as others would be exposed to the second hand smoke in the enclosed portapotties.

Oh yeah, forget about the second hand methane from all the shit, lets bitch about how second hand smokes smells worse than shit. As a kid we camped out a lot, and even though my mother did not smoke she would get one of my dad's smoke every time she had to use the outhouse. I guess sense of smell has changed now. But you are right they would ban it, and install smoke detectors, and probably cameras just to make sure everyone got to enjoy the smell of the bosses shit. ;-}

It may be best to do away with public bathrooms designed as a room with multi stalls. I don’t like the everyone in one place restroom. I went to one at a nice neighborhood bar and was not comfortable when a guy came out of his stall to the communal sink where I was. Individual relief rooms would engender safety better. 

Strange times to live in. I’m sorry you need to leave your job to protect yourself. It’s a sad but good decision to leave a place where you walk on egg shells to make a living. I hope you and your colleagues find awesome new jobs.

# Democracy vs Republic: 
Well said, Mr. PT @practicalthought. Now, in reference to what the progressive left calls equality, tolerance, and diversity, I have to bring up the founding of the United States as a constitutional and representative republic, originally speaking it seems....

# Democracy Can Be Dangerous
...And how it was not and should not be or become aggressively a mob-ruling democracy to the extent of violating private property rights, personal and liberal freedoms of the individuals, the minority, AKA the needs of the one or the few. 

# Spock Compromise
In other words, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the founding fathers (like Spock had he been there maybe) of the USA created what appears to be a compromise that allows for some democracy, some voting....

# Tenth Amendment Magic
...And yet also the ability for individuals to do what they want (tenth amendment) to suit their needs, the need of each one to do as he or she wishes to the extent it does not hurt or steal or murders the lives....

# Private Property Rights
...Or the rights or the property and ownership of other people and excluding anything emotional as safe spaces are an invisible form of welfare in that the individuals don't own the land of those safe spaces....

# Safe Spaces
...And therefore they are being given these safe spaces and sanctuary cities and open borders so they can cry their guts out and tax payers have to pay for all of those things which then creates other problems and so on and so forth.

This is an inevitable consequence of a society that values individuality and individual rights above everything.  From Western individualist perspective, why should the woman be deprived of her "right" to her choices and preferences because of arbitrary traditions and norms?  If individual is "sovereign," the woman should not be deprived of any of her "rights" to her preferences.  A society that indoctrinates its young with concepts of individual sovereignty, individual "rights," "self-made" individuals, and similar concepts naturally engenders self-obsessed egotists who equate their individual preferences with that of universal law.  Is it any wonder that a society that prides itself on "questioning authority" produces men that question the very foundations of social construct and biological nature?

One does not necessarily follow to the other. There was a time where common sense existed along with an individualist perspective. 

> Is it any wonder that a society that prides itself on "questioning authority"

It is the authorities here who have promoted such nonsense. From their media to fake education system, the psychobabble that passes as science as they experiment new drugs on their human cattle. Many men aren't for this nonsense. It wasn't until women's suffrage that the nation turned towards feelings and pseudosciences, as they tend to view situations from the heart instead of mind. You can view the downward shift in society from personal responsibility to denying biology and human nature directly to the appeal to feelings. The masters of the cattle (authorities) are very perceptive in their methods of manipulation.

What is "common sense?"  It seems that not a single person can define the term.  In the more ancient and civilised societies, there were overarching cultural and group perspectives, with which men align their thoughts and actions.  These cultural perspectives are regional and ethnic specific and do not necessarily transfer across regions and ethnicities.  The Protestant West has a perspective that places particular emphasis on the "individual," under which perspective and assumptions your post begins.  The curious narcissism that permeates the modern average Western man, who imagines that the universe ought to revolve around his needs and preferences, is but another iteration of the Protestant rebellion, albeit without God.  

The relentless subversion of cultural, social, political, and legal authorities by minor aristocrats and mercantile class in the West, via pernicious humanism, has resulted in the current Western social milieu.  It is not the anointed rulers who have led the West into societal fragmentation, but the low-born humanist scum clamoring for reform, dictating to their betters on sociopolitical policy issues with which they are and remain ignorant.  It is not women's suffrage that caused problems, but the very concept of "democracy:" a ludicrous idea that the unlettered opinions of hoboes  are of equal value to that of their erudite betters.  At the core of all social ills lies a system that permits men to reach beyond their station.  Emphasis on "individuality" not only permits but encourages men to overreach.

Solution 1:  It's about what you're doing NOT who you are. The pee room and the poop room. You'll get used to having other people in there. It's a natural function. Nothing to be shy about. I pee in the woods and don't care who sees me. 

Solution 2:  Multiple small one person bathrooms. This will also accommodate people who self identify as a farm animal and those who think they are King Arthur or an alien being from another planet.  Vampires will appreciate it too.

Public restrooms are sometimes uncomfortable.

There is no situation that will work for everyone.

No one should have to monitor who uses a bathroom.

You want to relieve yourself do it, and also understand...  it is uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable for those who are concerned about their body image, privacy, germs, disabled, ocd, etc etc.

Having public bathrooms is not worthy of debating about.

If you are too uncomfortable to use it, then yes, you should seek other employment.

I can't believe people feel entitled to feel perfectly comfortable every where they go.

> Public restrooms are sometimes uncomfortable.

This deliberately makes it MORE uncomfortable, and risky.

> Having public bathrooms is not worthy of debating about.

And yet here you are putting your two cents in that is contrary to my (and many others) feelings on the issue. So evidently you do believe it is worthy of offering a counterpoint to mine (also known as debating). &#128561;
