Women don't pee any slower than men. Men, being gross and all, we are willing to pee communally, women are typically not. Does anyone really <i>want</i> to pee in a trough with a bunch of others watching with their wandering judging eyes???<p>To achieve parity, remove urinals and place sinks above waist height (yes for <i>that</i> reason). Hell who am I kidding, just remove the sinks as well.<p>Now everyone will pee privately, in their own stall making things slower, but no one will wash their hands speeding things up.<p>Bathroom parity achieved!
Seems pretty absurd that the government is requiring buildings to have more stalls for women than men. Shouldn't companies have the freedom to decide what ratio is required for their building? Or at least to make the ratio equal? I mean the easiest solution would be to just make it all unisex, maybe with a separate area for urinals or something, but I don't see that happening any time soon.<p>And I'm not sure why they jumped to sexism as a cause of the issue - as they pointed out later in the article, men and women have fundamentally different bathroom needs, and take different amounts of time.
