Well, I said I was sticking to assault (as in battery assault) but okay. That probably is true but considering the topic is unisex bathrooms, if any male had a fear of being murdered, it would've most likely have nothing to do with sharing a bathroom with females - since 67.8% of homicides are male offender/male victim while only 9.0% are female offender/male victim. Just weighing the odds here.
Yes, assault included. Men typically commit most violent crimes but are also more likely to suffer from those crimes than women. When it comes to stranger on stranger violence, men make the majority of victims. When it comes to cases like domestic violence, men and women abuse one another at the same rates.
Yes, now think about what you just said there.
Men are more likely, by far, to be victims of male violence. Yet they do not fear violence from other men using the restroom. So assuming that a group of people less likely to be assaulted in general compared to men by men are in even the same amount of danger is not sticking to the facts. If men have no fear of other men in the restroom even though they are far more likely to be victims, women have less of a reason to fear violence from men. The only reason why women would assume they have a reason to fear would be people such as yourself (not saying you done it intentionally) giving the impression men are going to jump a woman at any opportunity they can even though they are statistically at less risk than men and men do not fear using the same restroom as other men.
That would be assuming all women are afraid (or have a reason to be afraid) of this mystical idea that men are all just terrible creatures that are going to rape them at any moments notice.
Not... really.
It's obvious enough that you're completely aware and passionate about this, but you have to understand that there is a spectrum here - the entirety of anything is never going to be correctly stereotyped as one thing. Just like the male sex shouldn't be generalized as horrid offenders, the female sex shouldn't be generalized as scared victims either (or vice versa). It goes both ways.
should bathrooms become one for male and female? what is the ideas?

Actually, no. Men make the majority of vviolent crime victims with statistics such as 77% of homicide victims.
