This is not true. I remember a situation that disproves that. At a play I went too, Urinetown actually, the women had 6 toilets and the men only one. Despite that the men had almost no line but the women had a line 25 long out the door. I also recall a time at the museum where the men's room was empty but women had a line 15 out the door, probably another 30 inside! The point is that no matter how many toilets women are given there will still be a line, it's a fact of life. The solution-drink less, go quicker, be patient. Though I'll admit if I were dying for a pee I would be going out of my mind if I had to wait 20 minutes with my legs crossed, so I do sympathize, luckily though I don't have to wait :P. I imagine if the situation were reversed the women wouldn't be so sympathetic, espicially to someone who just made the comment I did ;).

A Her-inal. I think someone should come up with a trough-like system so women can all simultaneously pee in a line like the men. A Her-inal.

But I have yet to see them do it successfully. Too many get freaked out by the men who refuse to leave. I have seen women try to take over the men’s room.

Free tickets? Working on a massive post comparing urinals throughout the greater Los Angeles area? Totally not the point, but why would you attend a concert of someone whose songs you don’t know?

And it's not just that our lines are longer...they also seem to move more slowly. I don’t know who to blame for the lack of female bathrooms, but it IS a vexation during concerts.
