Lawmakers concerned about a shortage of women's restrooms in federal buildings introduced the "Potty Parity Act" on Thursday to ensure equal access for men and women in future federal buildings and in facilities leased by the government.

Democrats and Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hope to establish an equal number of toilets for men and women at government buildings. They note that some private employers have laid off women instead of expanding facilities.

How about some gender neutral restrooms while they're at it!

"We're going to have to let you go.  We don't have enough bathrooms."

Sure makes it easier to cut back on payroll.

and discrimination bassed on lack of bathrooms could be legal. Those who potty are not yet a protected class.

People are so hung up on peeing.  It's like nobody ever does it.
