That's a feature, not a bug I'm assuming. The men have to walk way farther to get to the bathroom when they need to go.

Maybe it's time for some good ol' equality and bring the men's bathrooms next to the women's by the conference room? :-)

She describes it as a privacy issue. Also, it’s pretty common for women to hide in the restroom for a few minutes to collect ourselves when we’re upset at work. Usually that’s the last moment you want to be walking past everyone in the office.

I'm sorry but complaining about convenient bathroom location leaves me nonplussed. I don't think it's a gender issue that you are embarrassed about using the facilities.
