What's happening to women's toilets?

Why have all toilets in women's public restrooms been changed to floor models? They are the height for kindergarten or primary level children and the stall size themselves leave much to be desired, except in the handicap stalls which usually have plenty room to navigate but most have been outfitted with the "floor model" toilets. Because of the roominess in the handicap stalls women who are not handicapped rarely leave the handicap stalls vacant for those of us who are truly and legally qualified as being handicapped. The grab bars in the handicap stalls do not help those who have various handicaps to bend low enough to use the toilets without spritzing the seat, leaving a mess for others who use the stall. Please help us!

This is a "funny" but not so funny post....because it's true. I don't know who designs these ladies rooms (I'm so tempted to say it's subliminal male retaliation for the whole seat up/down conundrum), but I've noticed the same. Seats are looking like they're for the kindergarten generation, and, booths seem to accommodate the size 10 and under client. Also..paper dispensers are positioned so you need a contorted wrist to pull paper out. I'd rather wait in line for something with a bit of room, with a seat my arthritic knees won't be punished to use....than have multiple choices of gymnastic trauma booths.

Perfect letter to the editors for the New Haven Ragister.
What they usually report on belongs in a toilet.

There has been no change in the size of the toilets. Ladies, put down the bonbons.
