This letter is in response to: Best in the Crest: Bathrooms
Dear Chronicle Gods,
With the mention of the high school’s favourite bathroom today— which should obviously be the locker room bathroom (so tranquil during the day)— I have been thinking about bathrooms. I think that it is so unfair that women always have to wait in lines to enter bathrooms while men can just meander in!! I have been to various large sports games, concerts, airports, and even our very own school where the women have to suffer in line.
I would love it if this pressing topic could be addressed by The Chronicle in an article. Why is it that men’s bathrooms take up the same amount of space while there are urinals that have a minimum of 2x more space and use efficiency? Why is it that they do not change the bathroom shapes to a simple “small i” and “large L” layout? Why is it that men get to pee in peace while women have to suffer?
Thank you for the consideration,
Charlie Cowan

Charlie, you are so enlightened. Wherever did you think of this?
