Bidet in Italian hotel roomWhat took them so long?
"Potty parity" it's called, and it's really no laughing matter. In fact, it was interesting to see how our tour guide handled things on my vacation in Europe. At one cathedral, for instance, he told the gentlemen that both restrooms would be turned over to the ladies, first, and then it would be their turn. Why? Because everyone knows women take twice as long.
So that's one solution if you have that kind of clout. Or no one's looking.
Well take a look at the plans for restrooms in the new Yankee Stadium. The article is Ballpark Statisticians Follow a New Count
From the article:
Studies show that women take about twice as long as men in the restroom...
Groups including the American Restroom Association and the World Toilet Organization view quick access to clean public toilets as no laughing matter...
For years, women have most dealt with the consequences, if not the indignity, of waiting in long lines.
New York City passed a law in 2005 requiring that all new or significantly renovated places of public assembly — concert halls, arenas, Broadway theaters, stadiums and the like — have two women’s toilet fixtures for every one devoted to men.
One time this is really a problem is at concerts and operas, when you only have a certain amount of time for intermission. Do you have to choose between going to the restroom and getting a drink?
Well, I'm glad this issue is finally being addressed. Venus Retrograde isn't a bad time to be doing it, either.
