Planet Emerson:

Back in the sixties and seventies, gender-neutral bathrooms were not uncommon at colleges and universities. It was, you know, the sixties; we were trying new things. We would throw off the shackles of bathroom sexism and gender-neutrality would spread throughout society.

Not only did that not happen but in time most schools went back to gender-specific bathrooms. There seems to be a social consensus that that's the way things should be. When was the last time you saw gender-neutral restrooms at a public facility or a business or, well, anywhere?

But it's deja vu all over again on college campuses. So much for preparing young people for the real world.
