Toilet Equallity

^Would you be amused if he'd gone in the ladies ?

Ally McBeal aside, we tend not to have unisex bathrooms for a reason.

Having solved that pesky debt crisis, the housing crisis, high unemployment, the continuining border problem, and recession, Democrats are now moving on to the real problem plaguing our troubled nation: lack of toilets in women's restrooms -- with a bill!

Hasn't your Congress got anything better to do ?

One would think Republican, Democrat -- makes no difference.

I've never used a ladies' room, though I have walked into a couple by mistake.

The reactions I have encountered have ranged from indignation (the first time) to laughter (the second time).

More to the point: I once walked into a washroom that was designated as a men's room, but was being used by members of both sexes.

Okay, I thought: this is kind of weird. But, when in Rome, etc.

I went to the open stall at the end--but found the door was missing.

"Aw, fuck!" I said. But then a woman standing nearby volunteered to stand in the door, with her back turned, to screen me from view.

After a moment's hesitation, I took her up on her kind offer.

When I was done, I offered to do the same for her. She thanked me, but said that, as a woman, she really needed a door to feel secure.

If he wanted to queue at the Ladies and miss the opening of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in 'Waiting For Godot' I wouldn't have minded a bit. After all ~ if he'd done that the Men's room would have been totally free

If you ask me, [We haven't - everyone] what we need is a means to bring our own.

Whatever the ladies want the ladies shall get!

That's my motto.

Does that include restraining orders?

Also, whilst we're on the subject, can we have music too ~ I hate to hear toilet sounds *fingers in ear smilie*

Best idea I've heard re: bathroom improvement. Yes, music please, or maybe fans in the stalls (which would help with ventilation as well)? Anything to block the noises.

Also, this thread is making me feel queasy.

simple solution:

unisex toilets everywhere. treat men and women umm, equally and stuff.

Just go in the male's bathroom, I have told women that all the time. If there is a line and no guys in the male's bathroom I just tell them to use it.

I did that in a theatre in Brighton when we had 2 mins to sit down and the queue in the ladies was too long. I did knock and peer in but the only guy left in there was not amused. Got to my seat in time though

Really? I have seen women in the guy's bathroom a few times and never cared at all.

I had a 30 minute talk with a girl in the guy's bathroom once. It was college and 2am, so no one cared.

Ditto!
I have 'poo-phobia'. I cannot 'go' in a public loo. The best loo I found was in a pub in London ~ totally sealed stalls and loud music ~ it was such a relief

Jesus H Christ. Please tell me where in the constitution congress can even be thinking about this? How in the hell would this fall under the interstate commerce clause? Yet another example of a shredded 10th amendment.

Oh and most states have already established their own "potty parity" laws. In fact under the AIA (American Institute of Architects) guidelines "potty parity" is mandated. So if you design a new building you are supposed to at the least make sure that there are an equal number of toilets in the women's rest rooms as there are toilets and urinals in the mens bathroom.

Actually women need MORE stalls. It takes women longer because we can't just unzip a fly and go. I was at a concert where there were two bathrooms with three stalls in each for the women. Half the audience was still standing in line when the 15 minute intermission ended.

Stand for 45 minutes in our high heels just waiting to pee before you bitch.

Real men don't pee...they piddle viciously.

The ladies at Hard Rock Cafe Boston is like that -- walls and doors from floor to ceiling, and the same loud music as the rest of the place. And is it just me, or do HRCs have superior graffiti?
