Most venues have equal numbers of female and male bathrooms, despite women on average needing longer time in there. Theatres, concert halls, airports – everywhere women have to queue while men get to just walk in and get their business done.
I don’t quite know what I feel about this ex-female, temporarily de-gendered bathroom at the Lustikulla conference venue. Obviously men dominate the audience at a conference for software developers. It makes sense from a practical point of view to share equally and keep the queues short, and in general I’m absolutely for unisex bathrooms. On the other hand, it would have been rather nice to, for once, have been in the privileged group.
