Girls Bathroom Club

I’d say hear me about but you currently have to in order to judge this piece. It is a meme, it is the truth but drunk girls in the bathroom are how women should be to each other all the time. Supportive, helpful, loving (I think you get the gist). To be honest I am the least empathetic person in the world, however, place me drunk in the girls bathroom and I become a motivational speaker on the level of Opera (just no free cars but rather free gum). Drunk girls in the bathroom is the utopia of a world where men don’t exist. Please do not get me wrong I don’t hate men, this is not a slandering of the male race but rather a reforming of the place.

Covid lockdown had many consequences but a key one was by not going out and meeting people. I noticed I wasn’t making any new friends on the level I used to and I felt lost. I noticed a gap in our world during lockdown, probably 90% of my male friends ended up making all these new friends by playing games. In fact a few of them have actually met up and are really good mates. Good on them but how interesting that there seems to be no female equivalent. It was about 2 weeks ago that one of my girl friends who I had met out, invited me to a Facebook page called “Melbourne Gal Pals” and the whole premise is for women to make friends. It has over five thousand girls on it, with girls constantly posting that they don’t have many girl pals to do things with. So here we have pain point number 1, women are seeking to make friends but don’t know how.

I used to work in a bar and men, let me say that again men, would come in by themselves to make friends and socialise. If a women was to do the same she would almost get sexually harassed so that’s not really an option. Men say we have fitness classes and all of those things, but its not the same as sitting at a bar talking to people, in an environment that encourages communication. Pain point number 2, we are still living in a mans world.

Now I could go on for days about the many pain points however just with these two to start with I got an idea. No let me rephrase that, I got THE idea. What if we made a hub for women to make friends? A hub that encouraged women to act like drunk girls in the bathroom without needing to be drunk. Imagine a supportive environment, where you aren’t competing over a guy, you can go there to meet people with similar interests, you can meet there and make lifelong friends, or AFTER A BREAK UP AND YOU NEED TO ESCAPE YOUR TWO MALES HOUSEMATES BECAUSE THEY JUST DON’T GET IT! Sorry just stirring up some current feelings, I did promise this wouldn’t be a hating on men piece.

The idea for a hub comes from the boom in shared offices and their versatility. It’ll be a place with a gym, with a yoga studio, with a kitchen where you can bake with other girls, a bar so you can drink. There will be events like cocktail night, break up brunches….sorry I’m going off track again, movie nights. A place where you can get out of the house and makes friends. The idea can go so far as to hold workshops and seminars, supporting women in business together. Doesn’t it just sound amazing and pink! All they have to do is be a member and then they get access to everything, within reason of course.

I did mention earlier it would be a utopia and who would have thought such an amazing idea would have come out of being in the girl’s bathroom. I know for me personally I just really want a place where females feel safe outside of their own homes. So yes I want to turn that passion into something amazing.
