That sounds very interesting. I should check the politically correct fairy tales.

Oh, and I don’t think men would mind that much if a female used the men’s bathroom. A bit surprised, but they will be okay. lol

Thanks for the link. That was actually quite entertaining. “Sarah Dessert” sounds like a nice place to go…

Some buildings have signs that do a bad job of navigating people where they should go… Bathrooms should be easy to find for anyone, and signs should do a good job of navigating the customers…

Regarding the potty parity bill:
As a husband who has to wait for his wife, I appreciate legislation like this. As a man who has to hunt for a bathroom, I’d like builders to be a bit more understanding. At stadiums, the bathrooms are spread far apart, and it seems that no matter where I’m seated I have to walk halfway around the stadium just to find a mens room.

Regarding the potty parity bill:
As a woman who spends many hours waiting on line for the bathroom, yes, I appreciate laws like this. Everytime I go see a musical or opera, I barely get back to my seat in time after intermission. Sometimes I have to give up and wait until the end of the show. That can be annoying. Sometimes I wish I could just walk into the empty men’s room!

lol. That is the worst. Not knowing whether you should go to the bathroom or wait till the next break can be really painful, and is a hard choice to make.

That does happen a lot! You end up waiting along with other guys outside the ladies’ room.

On a side note…. If there is a queue for a men’s bathroom, it is never a good sign.

The worse thing I know is waiting in line for the women restroom in a theater when you know the break is about to end…

On political correctness, I think it is important to learn but in truth no one really talks like that. After over a decade of trying to push the doctrine of political correctness only some of the “titles” remain. Political correctness is a very clumsy remain, and an equally important backlash has happened. Because there are still so few women in important positions these days, the ones who made it are proud to wear the name “councilwoman”, “chairwoman”, or “congresswoman”. It shows their accomplishment, and they see it as a badge to be worn proudly.

Just to drive home the difference in politically correct speech and regular speech, look at the following introductions:

(Politically correct words)
So a height challenged, pigment enhanced person of the female persuasion enters an establishment for purveying beverages containing alcohol…

(Normal words)
So a short black girl enters a bar…

It matter more how you say things than it does what you say. As long as you have respect, it will come across.
