Ashton Kutcher is Petitioning To Get Baby Changing Tables in Men's Restrooms
2015.03.30
If you think about it, there aren't many places you can change your baby's diaper when in public. Ashton Kutcher posted a Facebook status about the lack of diaper changing stations in men's public restrooms, and now he's started a Change.org petition to make more of them around.
"There are NEVER diaper changing stations in men's public restrooms. The first public men's room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page! #BeTheChange."
He expressed his frustration about this and the reinforcement of archaic gender roles through a lack of baby changing tables in men's restrooms.
He said:
"There are NEVER diaper changing stations in men's public restrooms. The first public men's room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page! #BeTheChange."
"As a new dad, I recently learned an unfortunate reality about changing diapers while out in public with a child," Kutcher wrote in his online petition, "Almost all public changing tables are in women's restrooms, which makes it nearly impossible to find a table that's accessible to dads."
"This assumption is gender stereotyping and companies should be supporting all parents that shop at their stores equally – no matter their gender," he wrote.
The petition has gained 74,000 supporters already as of Wednesday afternoon.Right on, man.
