Quoting...

I quote from an email from Thea Langley (with her permission) to a friend of mine.

"We arrived in Macau from Hong Kong. Both Rxx and I needed to water the grass as he calls it. What a surprise that he walked into an 'open' Gents and did his business (I could see him) while I stood in a line with 8 women waiting. When I got in there was no seat and no paper!"

I think that says a lot. Just because we need the privacy and the paper that men don't, shouldn't mean we have to suffer for it. Whether or not Thea should have been able to see Rxx, he didn't mind, and she could have chosen not to anyway.

Men will no doubt say that this demonstrates as usual how easier it is to provide for them than us, but, once again, that isn't the point!

What it also demonstrates (as usual) is that adequate toilet provision is even more important for us than for them.
