A coalition of 24 organizations has won a year-long battle with a Canadian eatery to have the urinals shaped like a woman’s open mouth removed from its men’s bathroom.
Women's group: No more lip
The glossy, red lipped urinals at The Honest Lawyer restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, sparked public outcry and a letter-writing campaign that eventually forced owners to remove the offensive toilets, the CNews reports.
Manufactured by Bathroom Mania! in the Netherlands, the “Kisses” urinal has been the subject of controversy for years and thought by some to be art or just a joke.
On its Web site, the manufacturer says, “This is one target men will never miss.”
The Woman Abuse Working Group led the efforts to oust the offensive toilet. The group was concerned about women’s safety and the message it sent to men in the bar.
Lenore Lukasik-Foss, chairwoman of the group, said, “It’s not a joke to pee into a woman’s mouth.”
