Women occupy male loos in Guangzhou to protest
-
Women in China, fed up with the ever-present long queues outside public toilets, have decided to occupy the male toilets to protest against the unequal waiting time.
A group of female students in Guangzhou, China gathered outside a men's toilet at a park on February 24 and held up placards that read, 'More conveniences for women, more gender equality' and 'If you love her, don't let her wait in line'.
The protest, dubbed 'Occupy Men's Toilets' was initiated by a college student from Beijing named Li Maizi who got frustrated by the interminable wait to use the toilets while attending a conference in Guangzhou.
During the protest, men were still allowed to use the facility. When the queue started to grow beyond the women's toilet, activists would stop men who were heading to the toilet and ask them to wait and let the women use it first.

Once while I was attending a conference, I had to visit the toilet. I was already on 'high tide' mode, and I really had to go.
A few men were waiting in line outside the men's toilet.
Why? Some women were using the toilet. And hearing them from outside the door, it was obvious they were more interested in chit-chatting and powdering their noses.
Sheesh.
