Stay at home moms are awesome, but I really don't care if it is the mom or the dad. My point is that taking this "neutrality" thing too far will detract from the good in traditional roles. That being said, I think people should choose if they want to feel neutral, overtly feminine, overtly masculine or overtly something in-between. The differences between typical males, females and every other gender should be noticed and embraced. The only thing that should count is that one is not discriminated against for their gender. Neutrality does not accomplish that.

I beg to differ. There is a very good reason for it. When a woman sees a male in the woman's room, she knows to go on the defensive.
And I disagree, there's not a good reason. If there was a dude in a female restroom right now, that'd be creepy since they're currently separate. If, however, some law gets passed like this, there'll be no argument. Actually it'd be safer, since there'd be twice the number of people around.

BTW, just as many females are creepers as males.

Actually, I take it back. Unisex restrooms are a terrible idea, I don't want you violent, creeper females looking at the guys. (only kidding, but you see the point)
