| Your suggestion that this issue is about paternalism is silly. I don't pretend to know women any better than they do. What I *do* know is that as a man I want privacy in my restroom that's marked "Men." Women have a designated restroom and should use that. And of course we divide along gender lines! It's about women using men's bathrooms, and the incidental parallel someone brought up of whether a man would have a similar right to walk into a women's room. Incidentally, regardless of your personal knowledge of people using restrooms at the theater, I suspect that the same percentages of people had to hold themselves in all the past years when men went to the men's room and women to the women's room. | |

| Well, a lot of this thread is about people decided who is feeling entitled. And it's possible there are more women than men at many Broadway shows these days (and the majority of women do use the women's rest room). | |

| Did the redesign of All That Chat entail a trip in a time machine? We seem to have landed in the world circa 1955 or so... you know, a time when men were men and women were women and they all knew where to pee! | |

| Urinetown takes place in the future. The post I was referring to was a blast from the past... | |

| it travels both ways, to the past and to the future. Things change, sometimes reverting back to how things were as well. But I get your drift. :) | |
