    1/ I love how @eliseviebeck captured this moment of symbolism, as the 116th Congress began: "Women lawmakers had to wait until 2011 to get a restroom off the floor of the House. On Thursday for the first time, there was a line to get in."https://wapo.st/2F5Tg0q

        2/ And I say that because when I covered the House, it was only male members who had a restroom off the floor--where they could also get their shoes shined. Times have changed.

        The only thing misogynists fear more than a woman in power is several women in power. And congress still isn’t even close to reflecting the nation’s demographics.

        I've long suggested that if Dems want to create an insurmountable gender gap advantage, they should start promising to put in new regulations to require women's bathrooms be proportionally larger to compensate for higher wait times...

        In this respect, House now more resembles what I see at operas, symphonies, or at recent National NOW meeting in San Jose, just opposite of EE-dominated microprocessor conferences I used to attend.🙂 Venues should have more individual restrooms or configurable multi-user ones.

        Visited the vatican and there was an hour long wait for the woman’s restroom and zero wait for the men’s. Unbelievable.

        Better build another one (or two). Women are also waiting in line in every state to fill the House, Senate, and the White House.

        Let the @HouseFloor be the testing pot for America: get rid of the urinals; make each door solid, floor-length and locking, and common courtesy requests leaving an empty stall between. It’s the most economical solution.

        Wrong. Requires space that simply doesn’t exist.

        In the existing bathrooms? Definitely requires construction, and I’m sure some kind of separate office or two converted into dressing room/lactation lounges, but I think it would work. And not cost as much as new construction. What say you on what I’m missing?

        I agree. They should be able to do it on the floor. But they should have a space to go if they want privacy. There’s a lot of dressing for the next thing that happens in restrooms, not all staff have offices, so a private office “lounge” could meet that need as well.

        I was in Seoul about 20 yrs ago. Many places, including one very large church had undesignated bathrooms. Urinal on one wall, stalls on the other.
