I don't know if they chose to install this feature at our end of the building because, apparently, the department is all about the abolition of labels and stereotypes, but the nearest restroom to our main door is unisex. I've never had to deal with it and I'm not sure that I'm entirely comfortable with the idea. Of course, there are also times when needs must and so I've tried to nod perfunctorily and keep eye contact to a minimum if I run into a man in there and, if it's empty, I rejoice a little in the silence. I have yet to run into a woman. Also, I'm not sure where the other restrooms are, so that also cuts down on my options.
Welcome to grad school, I suppose. Shed those preconceived notions!
-or not, when all I really want to do is use the restroom in peace.

Are you sure it's not just a "new professor hazing" sort of thing? ;-)
Abolition of labels and stereotypes--yea, right. I'll bet that's just a cover for budget cuts. One unisex bathroom can service the same number for half the cost of two "traditional gender-modeled" bathrooms!
Odd that you've not encountered any other women there yet. Is that a statistical anomaly? Or is there something more sinister (and/or laughable) at work? You may want to ask someone where THEY go.
