Imagine that the number of bathrooms available on campus for men was reduced to a number where male students routinely had to wait in line but female students did not. In what ways would this structural change negatively affect men’s academic performance?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Possible negative effects include being consistently late to class and either formally or informally penalized by a professor, missing class content in an effort to beat the line at the restroom, discomfort interfering with ability to focus in class, or a general perception among female students that men do not take academics seriously because they tend to leave early and arrive late.
