Public Bathrooms

Today I had to wait for a public restroom — a ladies room.

I’m used to this wait. Women are legendarily slow, and often they have little kids with them. Nothing takes longer than a potty-training toddler, but moms understand and try to be patient.

Today, however, I had to wait — and a man came out of the ladies room.

This is all kinds of wrong. There was a mens toilet right there — he should have waited for that.

It’s one thing, as a woman, to wait for another woman. But quite another to wait for a man.

Maybe we just need to abandon the idea that bathrooms are separated by gender and make everything open to everyone.

What do you think?
