The menstrual period does not induce exhaustion. Pain, yes. Irritability, yes. Water bloat, yes. Even violent temper in some women (y'see, the lowering of the female hormones makes 'em more like men). But NOT exaustion. Those little lounges are used for smoking, for changing babies, and for feeding babies (breast feeding in public is frowned upon). I see no reason that men shouldn't be given a couch for their restroom, but considering the other perks that come with being a white male in this society, I wouldn't complain about inequality, if I were you. After all, someone might come along and equalize things, and THEN where would you be? (trying to form a relationship with someone who's JUST LIKE YOU! Think about it...) Ariel Shattan
