Mixed-up Bathroom Graphic.

They do love to provoke in this New Media day, but the NYT graphic here is bizarre.

Is that a woman being propositioned in the stall to the left by another woman?

If it's a caregiver helping another woman in there, why wouldn't they be using the disabled/handicapped stall?

Is the person left of center turning to flush, or standing to urinate? I don't get it.

No woman justifiably kicks off her shoes to spend leisure time in a shared restroom with bathroom stalls as though at home. Best to train your body to eliminate in the morning; the post-lunch stink of rot from the people who eat the frozen processed meals will gag the best of us into avoiding the shared toilets altogether.

Why the shared toilet obsession at the Times? They're courting backlash?
