Double standards for males are everywhere.

Yeah I've crossed paths with a good number of women that believe just that. For some reason its a "girl power move" for a woman to bust in a men's room and basically dare any men in the room to be uncomfortable about it while at the same time its a creep move for a guy to go in the women's bathroom.

ever since we accepted that gay people exist I think the very notion of gender segregated bathrooms and change-rooms is kind of silly.

Every time I go to the bars while I'm at school the line for the female restroom is a good 15 girls long and the male restroom is next-to-empty. Queue groups of girls running into the men's restroom in groups of 2-3 then yelling at any guys who try to enter because there are girls in there. ಠ_ಠ

Female-only spaces are empowering, male-only spaces are sexist.

We can't even have our own bathroom. If a woman wants they just take it.

Say the men's room had shit smeared all over the walls (which isn't unheard of). I can't go into the women's restroom for a quick pee without tons of glares, and screaming. What the hell am I even going to do? The stalls have walls and doors.

And I did janitorial work for 2 years, the woman's restrooms always smelt worse and was usually the nastiest, smelled of used napkins and usually the seats where covered in urine because for some reason every woman presumes the toilet seat is just completely unsanitary, even after i just got done bleaching and sanitizing it and there fore they need to hover a foot over it and blast it and make it worse for the next woman... the vandalism.. oh god looks like they murdered someone against the stall wall by throwing there napkins at them Blehhhhehhehh...

This used to happen all the time when I'd go clubbing in Brighton about 15 years ago when I was at Uni in the UK. There was a very simple way to stop it. I'd just yell at them "get the fuck out of the men's toilet". It was pretty obvious they were in there for dick or to cause some kind of crazy commotion in order to get attention.

i remember getting evil looks going into one of those female single toilet bathrooms. you know the ones where only one person could go in and it has a lock on it. the male one was in use and i REALLY had to go. there was a rather large upset woman when I came out glaring at me.

you wanna know the kicker? a female was using the male bathroom because it was cleaner

This actually reminds me of the time I went with my mom and grandparents to a show-jumping competition. During one break I had to go to the bathroom, and since I was 5 or 6 someone had to go with me. First time grandmom goes with me, women's line is 30 people long and it's a level 10 emergency for me...no line in the mens room. She grabs my hand, pulls me into the mens room and beelines us for the handicapped stall yelling "we got a potty emergency for my little princess here, <my name> keep your eyes down." and the guys just laughed it off.

2 hours later I have to go again, this time granddad takes me. Now it's the opposite: long line at the mens, no line at the womens. He does what grandmom did...grabs my hand and beelines us to the handicapped stall in the women's bathroom. Pretty much says the same thing, only instead of laughing there were screams and general 'omg wtf???' I wish I could remember what I said to them for yelling at my granddad (he was my hero), but I still remember the two very distinct responses and years later I think it's messed up.

TL;DR: different reactions when each grandparent takes me to a restroom during a show-jumping competition.

Happened pretty routinely at college. The first time it happened, I gave the girls a WTF look, and they just left and laughed like I was weird for having a problem with girls in mah bathroom.
