From Steve Blume, Acton, ACT

A major advance for women could be won by us all insisting that architects
and building owners (mostly male of course) provide facilities on the basis of
access points per expected user population, not area.

An additional factor that should be accounted for is that women are the large
majority of carers of young children, the disabled and the aged. This alone
would justify a significant increase in the number of facilities for women.
