As Jeff Sargent (sp?) pointed out, there is a BIG difference between the
average women's room and the average men's room.  This has been my soapbax for
several years, and I can't help but get up on it again.

While others point out the inconsistancies of women complaining about not
getting as big a pension payment while keeping quiet about their too low
automobile insurance rates, I wish to add that I have yet to hear a women
call for equality of toilet facilities, or at least equality of comfort
in toilet facilities.

This became important to me just after the birth of my first child.  I 
wanted to (and did/do) care for him as much or more than my wife, but
when in public women's room more frequently have a place to change a baby,
sit and hold a baby, or otherwise rest with a baby, than men's rooms.  In
fact, I have yet to find a changing table in a men's room!

Please, women, if you want us to believe you really want equality instead
of merely wanting to get more privileges, try to help the men's equality
cause as well.  That means tell your employer/favorite department store
manager/favorite restaurant manager, etc that you really want equal facilities
for men and women.  In the case of commercial establishments, refuse to
frequent them unless they provide equal facilities, and tell you are doing
so.
