This makes Baby American Jesus cry.
I’d say it is more acceptable. 9 out 10 men (made up ratio) would be okay with a woman quietly doing her business in the bathroom. A male going into the women’s bathroom quietly may just want to pee, but there is a societal pressure to see him as a pervert. And in truth, 9 out of 10 women may not have a problem, but people may assume that this is not so.
Most bars have narrow hallways. What does that look like in Spain (and Italy and China etc.)?
Why is there a line at the women’s john?
Check out Bladder - Wikipedia
In particular, click on the Gray’s Anatomy imeages (Umm Grey’s? anyway…) for the male and female bladder size and locations.
Gosh. Women do NOT have the same bladder size as men–far less, in fact. I’ve read various statistics on this, but a fair number claim that women have 1/2 to 3/5 the average bladder capacity of men. Obviously, there’s room for individual variation.
But the reason we always need to pee is simple: we DO, actually need to pee more often!
Women hop up and pee in the sink all the time. Ditto bathtub. Ditto, in a pinch, urinals.
Your second statement is debatable.
Women are more liekly to be helping small children too. That’s what holds up the big stalls for hours on end. . .
Another reason to keep tykes out of bars.
