All this discussion of co-ed "bathrooms" reminds me of an incident
a year ago.  A mixed-bunch of friends sat down to dinner at a very
fancy resturant in Utrecht, Holland (Hotel de Pays Bas -- highly
recommended).  As is often the case in such resturants, the women
were given menus which lacked prices.

They were furious and the men found their menus snatched from their
hands.  A few minutes later, one woman retired to the restroom.
She returned unable to keep a straight face -- it seems that
a menu, with prices, was posted on the wall of the ladies' room.

Moral, if any, is to wonder who is being "demeaned" and who's
ego is being inflated.

I would guess that this has happened in other similar resturants,
but none of my companions has ever mentioned it.
