On Bathrooms

Why do they split bathrooms into men and women?

Is it because women can't use urinals and men don't need *sanitary napkins* (best eupheminism ever)?

Is it part of a social construct to emphasize the differences between men and women and thus further justify and enable our current patriarchical society? (To quote a bumber sticker I saw recently "I'll be a post-feminist when there is a post-patriarchry.")

Or is it because seeing or hearing or being in the presence of the opposite sex relieving themselves on a daily basis would reduce the attractiveness and allure of the opposite sex for 95% percent of the population thus ensuring that only perverts who like a *golden* shower or *Cleveland Steamer* would reproduce? And if the latter is the case wouldn't homosexuals almost prefer to use the bathroom of the opposite sex?

Just some things that I have been thinking about.

Oh and by the way, if I may my reappropriate the wise words of famous rapper and a certain Nepali who enjoyed announcing his presence with the following phrase: "Guess who's back? Back again. I am back. Tell a friend."
