...I will stand up for my "toileting" right.
If you visit shopping malls, exhibitions, any public events etc, chances are you will see queues snaking out of Female toilets.
This is a phenomenon that is explainable. There is a mismatch between the number of "stations" available to do "business" and the time needed to do the "business" for the respective sex.
What are the possible solutions?
- convert existing some male toilets to female's for existing buildings
- ensure more female architects leading projects for new buildings
I have observed a commercial school with a significantly larger female student proportion taking the initiative to convert some male toilets. Guess who?
My colleague made this interesting remark:-
"In a golf course, you need more space for men. In a shopping centre, you need more space for women.
Golf courses have "toilet/washroom/changing room" space in the ratio of 70/30 for men to women.
So, shopping centres can consider 30/70 for men/women."
If only I were a woman... sigh...

a man can never understand the "monthly" feeling and the torture a woman needs to go through.
Being a woman means more that asserting your "toileting" rights. You can only be just a man trying to disguise as a woman. Because you can never understand a woman.
But it is a start.
interesting. ha :D
