Toilet provisions for women in the UK must be boosted so there are two female toilets to every male one, according to a new report on the state of public facilities.

The Royal Society for Public Health recommends new laws governing female toilets in the UK, and cites existing"potty parity" laws in the US and Canada, where a two-to-one ratio is mandated in some jurisdictions.A two-to-one ratio is recommended"because of time consuming factors related to clothing, menstruation, and anatomical differences," reads the report. The existing British standard is 1:1.

And 56% of respondents say they deliberately dehydrate themselves because of a lack of public toilets, which is known to have negative health effects.Friends and family may help Italians live healthier and longerDrinking water linked to fewer sugary drinks -- and calories -- in kidsThe lack of toilet facilities also has an impact on efforts to reduce obesity and keep elderly people active, the authors say.

I use the men's if woman's not available. A bathroom is a bathroom

I'd say 4 times the amount... unless they can grow a penis

Wait! U mean England said there are 2 sexes? Shameful! Well England should do what Californication did and just pass a bill that says u can defecate on the streets! Worked for 💩hole Californication, now didn’t it?

Hard hitting 'news' from your friends at CNN.

I second that...Especially hate the never ending lines at the airports

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

It's nice to see CNN sticking to their area of expertise

CNN whats with the change lately? I thought men and women were exactly the same

Finally, we are discussing the absolute tragedy brought on by institutionalized sexism. Men treated like animals, elbow to elbow as they are forced to urinate in troughs while women sit upon their porcelain thrones.

The bigger question is who cares? CNN you guys really suck at news reporting.

Define “women” ?

Wow... that’s... news? Have you ever been to a concert? Football game?

This seems to usually be how many they have by default anyways. 1 toilet and urinal for men, and 2 toilets in the same size bathroom for women.

'Experts'

finally

Does it ever get just a little bit embarrassing?

CNN....always behind the times.

This is not new information.

'Journalism'

Well, ummmm....duh?

News!!!

That's why they get less pay. That money goes towards toilet production costs.

Wow I thought that was from the onion but nope

But, I thought we were all supposed to be treated exactly the same?

journalism: just learned men and women can pee differently.

experts BREAKING: Men can pee standing up.

This clearly an example of male erect peeing privilege.

Experts you say. I think this is common knowledge

No shit.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking News: Soyboi males working at CNN have never stood up to pee in their lives.

But I thought there were no differences between men and women?

We know.

These are the stories you're left with when you've pushed Trump-Russia conspiracy theories for nearly 3 years

Because toilets take up more space than urinals. Most people shit once per day, but everybody urinates several times per day.

Duh!!!🙄

Duh....

Ahhhh shit!

So what happened to the gender free toilets😂😂😂

What kind of rhetoric is this? Women should be in Church and at Home. I am a stay at home mom. We have 1 restroom. All the soccer stars and my beautiful husband and Me go to the restroom there. Silly FNN. MAGA

You see the truth in this everytime at Concerts, Street Partys, or anywhere large number of People gather, the Womens line to a toilet is always the longest.

Not in my house! I need to pee at least three times as often as my wife as I get older. TMI?

I don’t understand why you need an expert to tell you that? That’s a no brainer. It takes women twice as long to go to the bathroom then men

Got a Prince Albert yrs ago. Love it but it tends to spray 2 or 3 different ways. So I take a seat rather than stand at a urinal, but taking a seat involves alot more time than just whipping it out & letting it go. So yeah, women need more facilities because they take longer.

They got a big $ grant from the government because they could show the impact on climate change and were able to blame Trump.

Why so gender specific? haterz

Women sometimes poop up to 50 times per day on average statistics show

How can that be true? Being a “woman” or a “man” is only a state of mind.

Men just need a bush most of the time. 😳

Was this seriously the basis of a study Come on.

To all the males in this thread that stated women need to stop yapping/gossiping, let me school you, we do our business, get off and flush the toilet, let the next lady to her thing, wash our hands and continue on. We don’t sit on the toilet and talk like it’s the damn sofa 😂

I'm confused.... I thought that men and women were equal and we were not allowed to make any distinctions based on someone's sex? Wouldn't providing 2x the bathrooms for women be illegal, then? 🤔

Gee? What did that study cost?

You don't have to be an 'expert' or a female to know that fact.....just pay attention the next time you go to a stadium or arena

And 5 times as many shoes! 😉

I never saw a restroom I didn’t need. Accurate.

Define woman.

How about gender inclusive toilets for a starter in 2019?

And, in other news, the sky is blue.

I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS.

Apparently according to cnn they need to kill the crap out of their babies too. Smdh.

🤦

Is that because they are more full if💩
