I had always been bemused as to why women insist on having cubicles in their public conveniences. Especially when you see the length of the queues in even in a semi-popular venue. Surely it would make much more sense to have them all use some form of female-friendly urinal. After all, there are rarely queues in the gents, where urinal use is rife.
Whilst pondering this problem last weekend I came to the conclusion that it would not work because they would then all be in plain sight of each other. Which is not a problem for men, obviously, as staring straight ahead and avoiding eye/genital contact is something we are all pretty good at. We can even hold conversations whilst our noses are inches from the wall.
Women on the other hand simply can not ignore the things around them. I have often witnessed a ten minute conversation about a woman who walked passed in a crowded bar, a conversation critically dissecting every inch of her attire, even though she was only visible for approximately half a second.
Can you imagine how long these conversations would last if they could see each others vaginas as well? It is bad enough listening to them go on about other women’s shoes without having to hear about bedraggled fannies and the current trends in pubic topiary.
I guess the cubiicles and queues are here to stay.

I think, if women could see each others bits, the conversations would be along the lines of Tan Lines, Waxing Styles (and Pubic Hair Shapes) and Tats. There might be a certain amount of sexual interest too. Or perhaps that’s just me.
Maybe if they wore mandatory hats which had copies of Heat or Hello hung over their eyes by a flexible metal strip
BJ – Thats just you.
Going for a whizz outside the home is one of the two things where it really pays to be a man and women get the short end of the stick
The ability to pee standing up is definitely something that lends weight to claims of male superiority yes indeed.
The lesbo thread was yesterday by the way Brennig.
One thing worries me though Angry how the hell do you know what’s inside a ladies loo?
Hold conversation? There is no talking in the gents, thank you.
There is no talking in the gents, thank you
too busy trying to comply with the unspoken gents etiquette
Sounds like you cross dress and wear little mirrors on your shoes……
imagine if women just pi**ed all over their shoes and then shook urine droplets to land where they may. there’d be a much greater moaning about feminine hygiene and the state of sanitary facilities!
