Calm before the storm.

Japan is taking a stand against a serious injustice that touches all of us: the daily indignity–nay, the daily TORMENT–of co-ed bathrooms.

Soon, female passengers on Japan’s All Nippon Airlines will enjoy express bathroom visits on international flights, courtesy of a designated female-only bathroom that men will only be able to use in case of an emergency, or an all-male flight (no word on whether ANA considers an all-male flight an emergency?) An All Nippon spokesperson explained that the decision was made because “men often leave the seats up.” And, just like that, All Nippon became the first major airline to make a business decision based on a popular source of conflict on sitcoms. Business history!

Surveys showed that 90% of female passengers supported the idea of female-only bathrooms, but we’re willing to bet guys might bristle at the idea of being kept out of certain lavatories. Bold move, Japan – making the skies more orderly and bathroom lines longer since 2010. Guys, what do you think?
