The mum later clarified her fears, saying she doesn't want her boy "seeing grown men using urinals" or to run the risk of "someone dodgy approaching him".
"We all know there are flashers and worse about. I saw them when I was a kid and so did most women I know," she wrote.
One commenter sarcastically asked: "At what point will you allow him to go to the gents? A special outing on his 18th birthday?"
"I don't think most men's toilets are full of predators who hang out there all day waiting to pounce on a kid," another said.
A third added: "You're going to have to get comfortable with it sooner than later. He won't be able to go into the ladies for that much longer."
Other users offered advice on how to handle the situation, like waiting outside the men's and calling out to him so that everyone inside knew she was there.
The mum went on to explain that her son had only just turned seven and acknowledged that 'at some point he just won't agree to go in the ladies, hopefully by then he'll be ready to handle any bad situations".
