I don't agree that's what the law says, nor is that the intent.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Yes, this is due to the age-old problem of building the same-sized restrooms for men and for women, when in fact women do need bigger restrooms with more stalls. Although I hear that in Europe they are trying to do away with urinals in men's rooms as well, because the very fact that they exist offends feminists.
Even if they mandated all stalls for both genders, women would still need more toilets than men because they have to go more frequently due to their unique plumbing and reproductive functions.
What's that old saying? "We can put a man on the moon but"... we can't build women's restrooms that move the line along equally with men's.
In a free country, nobody has the right to tell us what to believeor to punish us for putting our First Amendment rights into practice.”
We do not have a free country any more.
Wow, I’ve not heard anyone complain (or otherwise comment) on the racing board I frequent. You were at THE Belmont, too!
Incidentally, it’s a bit different when it’s known that another “facility” is broken.
“trying to do away with urinals in men’s rooms as well, because the very fact that they exist offends feminists.”
It offends people with modicums of modesty. It disgusts me that men pull it out in front of everyone, especially when supposedly they are so insecure that they won’t be as “big” as some other guy. It’s actually undoubtedly an accomodation for their laziness, wherein men hate to take time to do anything, such as close and lock a door.
“Even if they mandated all stalls for both genders, women would still need more toilets than men because they have to go more frequently due to their unique plumbing and reproductive functions.”
You think women have problems with plumbing compared to men? Why? As for the reproductive, little happens except changing sanitary items during a normal plumbing routine. Rarely does 1 go in just to change said item.
I don't want to be like Europe. I like my own country. It is not perfect, but I love it, not Europe
There were several comments on Steve Crist's blog.
