>I just don't want someone walking in while I'm using the commode

Door is not the only way to solve this issue.

The question can be asked, why would someone walk in if they can see you using the commode ?



Okay so I misspoke. I don't want anyone to see I'm using the commode. That's why the door is closed. I've lived places where the bathroom door is open most of the time, so just closing it is sufficient. I've lived places where it's closed all the time (e.g. pets) so it gets locked.


>I don't want anyone to see I'm using the commode

so then why ? maybe because of shame. So then its the shame that need to be fixed.


Or maybe its none of yours or anyone else's damned business. Point is it's not incumbent on a person to explain WHY they need or want that privacy.


So privacy matters because 'thats your business'.

Then it is equally valid for some other people to say privacy doesn't matter because 'none of yours or anyone else's damned business'.

If you trying to convince other why privacy matters, thats not going to be helpful.

I'm not trying to. I'm pointing out that I, nor anyone else, has to. You aren't entitled to know why one wants privacy.


fair enough, then likewise you aren't entitled to know why other don't want privacy.


At this point I have to believe you're either a troll or some sort of GPT-3 bot based on how you're almost trying to miss the point and - seemingly intentionally - misconstrue very easy to understand and generally accepted concepts.


No, i disagree with the premise of the article and simply trying to argue, within logic and reason, against it.


the shame belongs to the person that walks in and stares at you
