We happened upon these blueprints that are relevant to International Women’s Day:
The house was designed for a couple with no pronoun imagination (“his” and “hers”). “HER BEDROOM” is the size of a studio apartment. HER walk-in closet is 11×11′, the size of an average child’s bedroom. HER bathroom includes a luxurious recessed tub, a shower, a bidet, a toilet, and enough open space for an additional bed. “HIS BEDROOM”, on the other hand, seems to be about one third the size of HER domain.

My biggest question is why His Bathroom has a door to the outside of the house.
Hers has one, too. I guess they’re going to have a pool or hot tub in the yard, or something like that.
The house was designed by a realist:) Anyway, this part of the plan doesn’t show HIS OFFICE and HIS WORKSHOP.
(I’m going through new house design phase for my Olowalu land… and, yes, it looks like I’m going to end up with a lot of space for exclusive male chauvinist pig use; as designed, my office is 2x space of my girl’s, but then she has no use for lab benches and large monitors, leave alone the workshop building. OTOH she’s currently looking for some acreage for her cat sanctuary project, so I guess I lose. This is probably the revenge for the hangar, LOL:)
Some rich people do use their extra house space wisely, contrary to what “Dr” Phil says:

When I visited the LBJ ranch outside Austin, I also noticed the Lady Bird’s bedroom was larger and nicer than LBJ’s.
Am I wrong or does “her” bathroom have a sink, big multiperson show, TWO toilets AND a bidet, then there’s another toilet in the “POWDER” room? Where’s the bidet for him? What’s this shortage of gentle washing appliances? Let’s face it, everyone’s butt does just about the same thing, right?
I think the Japanese solved the bidet issue decades ago:)
Now waiting for US architects to figure out that GFCI outlets next to toilets are a much better idea than these French thingies:)
Investing in separate bedrooms might be a good defense against a future divorce where the husband might be left w/o any bedroom.
DP: If a plaintiff can make it through 7 years of marriage, he/she/ze/they can ask for “permanent alimony” under Florida law (see http://www.realworlddivorce.com/Florida ). Actually, https://www.floridalegaladvice.com/blog/permanent-alimony/ says “Short-term marriages (marriages lasting less than seven years) are also eligible for permanent alimony, but the recipient must prove there are exceptional circumstances and that no other form of alimony is fair or reasonable under the circumstances”
As long as the occupant of HER BEDROOM is careful to refrain from work during the marriage, he/she/ze/they should be able to make a strong case for permanent alimony to be harvested from the occupant of HIS BEDROOM.
A good friend from childhood got divorced at age 42 after 22 years of marriage and 22 years of active military service. The ex-wife did not work during the marriage. The military awarded the ex-wife half of the military pension for life. The court ordered $800/mo. child support + $800/mo. alimony for life for the ex-wife (or until she remarries).
Fifteen years after the divorce, the dude married a woman 25 years younger.
