There are no changing tables in the men’s restroom. Well, sometimes there are, but I can’t tell you how awful they are. Quite filthy and often in questionable mechanical shape… just keep telling your wife this. Have your fellow fathers tell their wives this.

Don't tell your wives, tell the owners/operators of the establishment.

Don't give in to that kind of societal inequality - change it.

I think OP was suggesting that if you hint (or state explicitly) that men's restrooms are unsuitable for nappy changing, you'll be able to avoid an unpleasant chore (by pushing it onto your partner).

Honestly, changing nappies isn't that bad, particularly for your own child, and even if it was, this is a pretty selfish attitude to take.

I’ve changed plenty of diapers… also enjoy a good power play with my wife.

Also, if your country of residence is not so strict regarding this, go change diapers in the womens room if needed.

Perfectly doable pretty much everywhere if in need, dont need to go to restroom, specially if its filthy (just take a bag and moist napkins - and tell f o to everyone who complains :) ). Its like breastfeeding - nothing to be ashamed, needs to be done - if no good place provided, find it yourself.
