Only through unfairness can fairness be achieved!

"Only through unfairness can fairness be achieved!
I'm noticing a very peculiar trend in restrooms lately.
In government buildings, I am seeing floor after floor in which there are two types of restrooms, labeled thusly:
Women's Restroom
and
Unisex Restroom

While it's not the biggest deal in the world, I find myself having no other choice than to use the unisex restroom, but I wondered why women would have restrooms which no one else is allowed to use.
Is this some sort of twisted implementation of 'potty parity'?

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held hearings Wednesday on the 'Potty Parity Act,' a bill that seeks to address the unequal number of restroom facilities for women in federal buildings by requiring at least a 1-to-1 ratio for toilets, including urinals, in women's and men's restrooms.

Obviously the elimination of men's rooms (by simply converting them to 'unisex') achieves such parity without much expense, because it allows women to use 100% of the toilets, while forbidding men from using half of them.
Unless men object, women are thus over-enabled, and the 'problem' is solved."
