Interesting. Over here in the states, they've discussed what is referred to as "potty parity." The concept is, when new public buildings are constructed, that they make the "Ladies" a larger room with more stalls, rather than the same square footage as the "Gents." Basically, the idea is that if the "Gents" can accomodate 75 customers during a 15-minute theatre intermission, the "Ladies" should also be able to accomodate 75. It seems like a reasonable idea to me; those lines for the "Ladies" are often ridiculous, while we gents more or less literaly "zip" through!

Of course, the proposal mooted above would have just the opposite effect by making everyone have to "go slow!"
