Wickeltische. For gents

updated by rck, 2004-10-10

I don't know the english translation for it. A Wickeltisch is a desk, where you put your baby on in public in a bathroom. And change it's diapers. Usually stuff, women do.

Emancipation at it's best
What I saw today in the Freihaus of the Vienna Technical University seemed like a joke of students to me first. A Wickeltisch (what's the english word for it?) for Gents. I haven't even noticed it while entering the toilet and thought: Another Semester Starters Hack from a couple of drunken Students. Anyway, when I walked out of the toilet, washing my hand, I saw it. A pretty simple desk with some upholstery on it. Quite basic, but well suited for it's purpose, I guess.	www.kiesler.at/index.php?module=photoalbum&phpws_album_id=23&phpws_photo_op=view&phpws_photo_id=343'> Wickeltisch. For Gents.

What, if some emancipated father carries his baby around and "a certain problem" arises? He could solve it in public, on a desk somewhere. Which could be embarrassing. He could ask a woman to do it (which would be my approach, as I don't seem to be too "compatible" to babys anyway). Which would be pretty comfortable. :-) Or he could simply ignore it, which would'nt be hygienic in any case.

Conclusion
I like the idea of having a Wickeltisch around for men. It gives a certain feeling of security for emancipated men, I guess. And it's not taking any space, anyway, as the Toilets of my university are quite big. Nice work, guys!
