"American Airlines Center has more toilets per capita than any other sports and entertainment venue in the country. With more than a 3:1 ratio of women's vs. men's toilets, it exceeds the requirements of the Texas "Potty Parity" law."
The Feminist Version of Equality In Law: a 3:1 ratio in their favor.

Can you imagine your mom, wife or daughter having to squat over the open troughs/drains that we guys stand in front while we "go" at many sporting venues?
To: Notwithstanding
Nope. I don't really give that much thought, thank you.

Yep, 3 to 1 sounds about right, considering women's clothes & our 'equipment' being different. We need privacy considering we have been raised to be modest. I have waited in looooong lines waiting for a stall (which is all we have) & missed lots of the show or game or event. 3 to 1 sounds good.

Why don't you just quit with the guilt trip and check out this link A Woman’s Guide on How to Pee Standing
I ran across that website a couple of years ago while doing medical research on kidneys.
That website is NOT porn in anyway. But it does get man-hating feminists to shut-up when I point out that website to them.

Ban panty hose in public arenas.
Manhandling panty hose accounts for 80% of the time required for women to accomplish the task under study.
Why should I be asked to pay higher taxes for a public accommodation when banning panty hose would alieviate the situation? After all, we ban smoking in public arenas.

I must say that the "Trough" is on the way out in sporting venue restrooms. If you'll notice, they're only around in stadiums that were built pre-1990s. Today, for the most part, urinals have replaced them. Thus, with urinals, there is less "room" or less "space" to do your business.
Furthermore, I'm one of the guys who does not use a urinal unless a divider is up. I don't want some guy looking at me, or me catching a glimpse of his private parts out of the corner of my eye. That's why I usually will wait for a stall.

Nice quote. I'll have to remember that one.

But it does get man-hating feminists to shut-up when I point out that website to them.Women are "man-hating feminists" because they have more bathrooms? How does it hurt anybody for women to have more bathrooms? It benefits men, as well, because the men don't have to wait while their womenfolk are standing in long lines.
Because of obvious anatomical differences, different clothes, and because women are more likely to wash their hands after using the bathroom, women take longer and therefore need more bathrooms. It's not "man-hating feminism." It's just practical.

To think the problem is 80% panty hose is simplistic. Women still have to undress to go to the bathroom. Its not as simple as one zipper, taking care of things standing up & not using paper. What does this have to do with smoking?

My problem with you is that you define equality at meaning that women should have a 3:1 ratio towards men.
That make you a sexist, hypocrite.

First you bitch about thost problems, then you call those problems practical.
By the way, why don't you check out the link I posted on this thread, it pretty much kills your arguement.

To: Your Vast Superior
The Feminist Version of Equality In Law: a 3:1 ratio in their favor. It depends how one defines parity. If it is defined by waiting time in lines, then a 3:1 toilet ratio probably makes sense.
To: Notwithstanding
I beg your pardon?
To: AmishDude
I'm going by the new stadiums and arenas that I have been in. I know that the Georgia dome has urinals. So does Turner Field and Philips Arena. Heinz Field, where would that be?
To: FreedomFriend
Why are you so paranoid?
To: Paleo Conservative
Careful, careful! You seem awfully close to advocating equality of outcomes. Not a very conservative proposition.
To: Notwithstanding
I'm not paranoid at all. I'm just a modest man.
