MEN in LADIES ROOM at public library ?

         I guess I'm old fashioned in even questioning this unisex use

    of Providence Public Library restrooms -distinctly labeled MEN...

    WOMEN. I observed two males being given keys to WOMEN restrooms because

    the MEN rooms were all occupied. I had just returned a key to a WOMEN

    restroom when I suddenly realized that I was not, after all, FEMALE

    and I did not want to cause a scandal ( being seen entering a WOMEN

    room might get a  decent guy tagged as a pervert -especially nowadays !)

              When I questioned a male employee about this unisex use

    of library restrooms, he snarled at me. Then I went to get my coat

    in the periodical room where three kids were at a READING table playing

    cards.

           On the way out a derelict friend of mine -known as Emo the Cat

    Man- said that my mind must be degenerating for even thinking in such

    narrow categories !

             My sister , a day care school supervisor, must be even more


    degenerate than me. She wondered why a LADIES ROOM in a local night club

    had a condom dispensing machine . I guess she was not as liberated as

    " Sally " .

                 How many female readers of this newspaper would use a

    public library LADIES room more frequently used by homeless male

    derelicts ?

              It use to be a nice place to read and study -many years ago

    -the Providence Public Library.
