Potty Parity

A bill introduced yesterday in NYC would require more restrooms to be set aside for women than men in most buildings.

The bill would apply to arenas, auditoriums, drinking places, meeting halls, theaters, public dance halls and stadiums. New facilities and buildings undergoing substantial renovations would have to comply to the 2:1 ratio. And other buildings would be required to adhere to the ratio as best possible.

At least a dozen other jurisdictions have passed similar laws. Anti-tobacco, anti-fast-food, anti-ladies-night crusader John Banzhaf is behind it all.
