Women should demand more bathroom parity

Thanks for addressing the discrimination women face in the bathroom department.

I attended Mamma Mia! and the lineups were so horrific for the women that several took over the completely unoccupied men's room by standing at the door, blocking men from entering.

Women, we need to continue to rebel like this and take over the men's rooms, demand a 2: 1 ratio (or unisex bathrooms with the urinals tucked away at the end as I have seen in European countries). I know the Royal Theatre is an older building, so convert at least one of the men's washrooms to another women's washroom.

There would be an economic plus as well. With less time in lineups, there would be more money made at the bar and concession stands.
