You're comfortable hearing what some guy is doing in the stall next to you, or for him to hear you? I think you're in the minority. And what about urinals where things are exposed? I don't think guys are comfortable with this either. I'd love to see a poll on it.
The was some event where the line for the Ladies Room was ridiculously long, so women started going into the Men's Room. The men came running out, all embarrassed. I suppose we could get used to it if we had to. But why should we? Most malls and some big stores do have a "Family Restroom" for dealing with small children and diaper changing.

Keeping women out of the military means keeping out 50% of potential talent - why would you do that?

Women can enlist or be commissioned into all but a few types of units. I think the primary force behind the move to open up infantry, armor and special forces - units that have extreme physical demands and heavy equipment is what I hear one senator advocating - increasing promotions and leadership roles for women in the military.
That should not be the reason. I think there is a valid argument that women should be allowed the chance to show they can do these jobs, but for these very dangerous positions, they should have to meet the men's standard in all qualifications.

That already happens. At least in this scenario no one has to say, "no homo."
