Of Obama’s Visit & Restroom Lines

A couple of tweets from the Caven-Williams Sports Complex in Boise caught my eye. That's where a large crowd is waiting for President Barack Obama to speak:

  • "Obama can talk equality all he wants but there is no waiting for the men's restroom & 100 in line for the women's restroom" -- Scott Nicholson.
  • "Line for the women's restroom at CavenWilliamsSportsComplex #BSU #POTUS speech is almost as long as security line. No line for men" -- Colleen Fellows.

Question: Shouldn't public places keep female needs in mind when planning restrooms?
