The Restroom Gender Parity in Federal Buildings Act received a full committee hearing on May 12, complete with introductory remarks by lawmakers and testimony from witnesses.
Rep. Darryl Issa of California, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, noted the importance of the hearing process – not to mention the potty parity bill itself:
“As people seldom realize, in Congress, in order to move a piece of legislation, we hold hearings. In order to understand the final and best form of that legislation, we hold hearings. I think this is no exception,” said Issa, who described the bill as laudable and essential.
Institutional discrimination in restrooms
The bill’s sponsor, Committee Chairman Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), outlined both the problem and his proposed solution:
“This is not a minor issue,” Towns said. “Women are often forced to wait in long lines to use public restrooms or walk further to find a restroom while men rarely have the same problem.”

Dear women ,
There is a product that is close to pampers. It is made for adults.
That just "Depends" if you are interested We know the ladies have it rough! NOT!!!
wow. stupid, stupid issues. but then again...women and gays in the military being forced in together. i say we just make a 'bathroom'. no mens, no womens, no in-betweens. just 1 bathroom. after all, seperating them is discrimination isnt it?
See, if women didn't take some damn long in the bathroom...they wouldn't have this problem. See Ladies, for once it's not the guys fault!
is this what we have become as a people ?
I wonder which restroom Barney Frank uses? I guess the one directly over our heads.
Congress is going down the toilet. This is proof positive.
i do beleive this is already addressed in various building and plumbing codes for ALL new buildings, not just federal (other then private homes). Ask any architect
What a complete waste of time. I can NOT believe this is real.
Another reason to clean house in November. Are all these idiots on drugs? With all the real problems this country has, for these moronic a*?holes to be wasting time on something this stupid is just another example of how totally incompetent and delusional they all are. I find it unbelievable that these are the people we have elected to lead our once great country. No wonder America is going to hell in a handbasket.
