Potty Parity

The male washroom facilities in CPH are more extensive than the female washroom facilities. There are approximately 4 urinals, 3 sinks, and 3 stalls in the male washroom on the third floor, and only 2 sinks and 2 stalls in the female washroom. Furthermore, females take longer to use the toilets. Now, the gender disparity in engineering might mean that only 20% of my class are women, but what does this mean for future students? How welcoming does it look when, on the floor plans, they notice how inadequate the female facilities are in comparison to the male facilities? It’s an awful example of the propagation of the uneven gender split in STEM. I recommend tearing out the bathrooms and installing marble tile, plush velvet couches, toilet paper made of silk, and basin-style sinks for both genders.
