getting separate bathrooms was an early feminist issue

Interesting, didn't know that.

dangerous men exist and are shielded by rape culture.

Sadly true. It's sometimes hard to remember, since, paraphrasing Pen Jillette, "I've always raped all I wanted, and that amount is zero".

So, if separate bathrooms was a feminist issue, what was the situation before that?

PS: this article seems to paint a different reasoning: https://time.com/4337761/history-sex-segregated-bathrooms/
