Gender Bias

We took Andrew to Wendy's birthday dinner at Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto where he was pretty well behaved. All was going well until we had to change his diaper... and discovered that only the women's bathroom had a changing table.

Wendy's birthday celebrations continued with ice skating at the Winter Lodge where Andrew had to have his diaper changed again... and again only the women's bathroom had a changing table.

Seriously? Are women still the only ones expected to change diapers in this day and age? Or are these venues just behind the times? I know I've seen changing tables in the men's room before. I just didn't realize how much of a rarity that is.

What do we want? Gender equality. Changing tables in the men's room! When do we want it? Now!
