Economist - New York's loos | Women take longer:
"'IF THERE was ever a bill I was afraid to be on the wrong side of, it would be this bill,' said Erik Martin-Dilan, a Brooklyn councilman whose district is 60% female. He was one of 50 council members who voted unanimously for a “potty parity” scheme, requiring many of the new and renovated buildings in New York City to have twice as many toilets for women as for men. A 1984 law had foolishly enforced equal numbers."
