The coed dorms I stayed in didn’t have all spaces designed for a man. They didn’t even have mixed bathrooms.

I don’t think this is quite describing mixed bathrooms, it seems like they are addressing the issue by making bathrooms unisex single toilets, which is hardly a radical concept in public facilities.

Yeah, it’s a clickbait title. Reading the article:
- Until 2010 US submarines had exclusively male crews
- Since then more and more subs have had both male and female crew members, but the subs themselves were still designed for men
- This sub was designed to have a mix of male and female crew, which in practice means things like design tweaks around washrooms, sleeping areas, and making overhead valves easier to reach
At first I thought this was talking about how ships are traditionally referred to as “she” in English.
