Well, it bugs me that those charged with getting it right CAN’T. How hard IS it to count potties and install them? Or even to just make plans to do so. If they can’t figure out how to help female customers enjoy an event without laws, I guess we need the laws. We have anti-discrimination and affirmative action laws because folks couldn’t do right without them. They don’t follow the laws we have. Folks only complain about them when they affect their unnatural advantages. They don’t complain as much about the conditions that make them necessary.
Guys go to the bathroom anywhere, often before they enter the venue. Sometimes simply against a wall after they are inside. They don’t wash their hands as often (not my opinion, they did studies). So they are in and out unless they find a cute cubicle buddy to conduct wide stances with. Look ladies…quit staying in the johns fixing your makeup, etc. You don’t look much better when you’ve stayed in there 20 minutes adjusting what god didn’t give you. Be considerate and move on out so the next woman can relieve herself.
Now I am wondering what happened in politics today that has us talking about the perfect red herring issue??? LMAO

Tom, you KNOW those wet circles aren’t from strict bathroom issues. Men are kinkier in the restrooms than anyone knows. Where the closeted meet!

I wonder if anyone has any real statistics that would indicate a men to women ratio at sporting events? Aside from baseball, I would think that men would out number the women at most events. Don’t take that as a hit to women, that is not the what I mean. I wait in line most of the time at Cardinal and Rams games. Especially if you have to go during any intermissions.

Potty parity.

Great.

Don’t we have enough trivial things to worry about?

I’m not even sure how to respond, but I don’t think that we need a law like this. The architects get paid a million bucks to design an arena…if they can’t calculate sufficient bathroom space into their design, then fire them and get a different firm to design it.

#22 Mike, I won’t go there. I’m one that hates to here music in restrooms in fear that I might tap my feet. Don’t need that problem.

Years ago, when I was working for a non-profit, one of my responsibilites was to arrange for workshops. I received copies of the Hotel and Convention magazines.

In one issue there was a time motion study that stated men spend 90 seconds in the public restroom on the average, while women spend 180 seconds (3 minutes) per restroom trip.

Their recommendation was that in planning a large meeting to extend the breaks to at least 20 - 25 minutes so that women stood a chance of getting back in time. Alternatively, to ask when booking meetings what the ratio of women’s facilities was to men’s.

Of course all bets are off at any convention facility booking a predominantly female group.

Much a doo-doo about nothing. Can the legislators!

#9 Tom…..no wonder you feel you get in and out of the men’s room faster than women. It seems women have bladders, and apparently, you have a blatter (whatever that is).

Good luck!

Cathy, It’s ashame I was a school teacher too. I’m don’t know how I spell my name right sometimes. I looked at that for a long time too. By the way women get out of the men’s room faster because they are in the wrong room. (no wonder you feel you get in and out of the men’s room faster than women)

The only parity needed is directly proportional to the average number of folks that attend the events. If 3 million people visit Cardinal games and 70 percent are women, then women should have 70 percent of the toilets in th house. If the number of men attending is higher, then they should receive more stalls. Case closed.
