Given past controversies involving urinals in the shape of lipsticked, arguably female mouths, a restaurant in Sydney shouldn't have been surprised when its bathroom fixtures kicked up a certain amount of angst on the part of Aussie feminists.
Anne Summers, an Australian feminist, said the toilets were "asking men to put their dicks in these mouths as urinals." She also accused the Ananas Bar and Brasserie of perpetuating misogyny.
Ananas, a new French restaurant in the city's upscale Rocks district, said the bright, kitschy urinals were "a commonly used European design piece," according to the AFP. However, the restaurants agreed to remove the offending pieces and issued an apology.
