Tbf there was a point not too long ago where most men's rooms didn't have a diaper station
Suppose it must be regional. Back when I was a kid, 20 long years ago, men's rooms having a diaper station was the norm.
It's probably regional, 20 years ago is when it started changing for my area
Yeah, that is definitely a newer development. I'd bet the vast majority of men's rooms that have them didn't get them at the same time as the women's rooms, unless the building itself is fairly new construction.
Even with my youngest (5), I would always use the bathroom early and check to see if they had a changing station prior to him potentially pooping himself. The majority of the time there was, but the times there wasn't was often enough to make it worth checking. Only if my wife was with us, though, otherwise it was a roll of the dice.
She posted that 25 years ago, and stations were plenty common in our town (Tulsa).
Fair, we didn't start seeing them as common until about 20 years ago in my area
Not so long ago there weren't as many men changing the diapers either
It didn't help that the problem was enforced publicly by companies though.
I feel like companies are often just catering to the public sentiment and it wasn't publicly popular so they're just reinforcing it rather than enforcing
