Marriage and Toilets
"Very few spaces in our society remain divided by sex," Professor Case said. "There's marriage and there's toilets, and very little else." This, umm, interesting quote from A NY Times article on People in Search of Safe (read: gender neutral) Restrooms.
I'm not sure what to comment on but I found it kinda funny (I snorted when I read it and you missed it Stx) and a little bit sad. Clearly I am no fan of sexual discrimination, but women and men ARE different, and you can't change that by changing the law - or changing the signs on restrooms.

Thought you'd appreciate...
I agree with both of you: gender nuetral bathrooms are a bad idea (and at least in co-ed dorming here they don't exist), and putting marriage and toilets in the same sentence is a bad thing. Though if it were up to this professor I don't think these last two vestiges of seperation would remain too long either. And I'm not sure he considers the seperation a kavod at all...
First off, Shkoyach to Stx for the link. You beat be to the punch again.
Second, I've actually been to malls in Florida where they have 3 types of bathrooms all next to each other: men, women, and unisex. Now don't confuse "unisex" with those "family bathrooms" they have at airports. Trust me, 'twas disturbing...
