Somehow, not having urinals on carriers makes the ship gender-neutral;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Omitting urinals lets the Navy easily switch the designation of any restroom \u2013 or head, in naval parlance \u2013 from male to female, or vice versa, helping the ship adapt to changing crew compositions over time, Meyer said.<\/p>\n<p>The Navy could designate a urinal-fitted area to women, of course, but the urinals would be a waste of space. Making the areas more gender-neutral is a relatively new consideration for the service, with most of its current carriers commissioned before it began deploying women on combat ships in 1994.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ya, know we had female barracks in the Army that still had urinals in them and somehow the women survived by not using them and generally ignoring the urinals. Except when they had to dust them off before an inspection. I&#8217;m glad the Navy is worried about this subject, it shows they&#8217;re over-thinking every-f&#8217;ing-thing. So while you Navy guys are complaining about scrubbing the &#8220;near-misses&#8221; off of the toilet seats, sounding much like my wife, thank Big Navy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, I thought this was The Duffel Blog when someone sent me the link, but, no, &hellip; <a title=\"Navy brain power on display\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30819\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Navy brain power on display<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
