"What is the longest wait in the world?" Of course, it is the waiting in the mouth of the girlfriend, 'soon to arrive', 'I will put on makeup for half an hour', 'just change clothes'... Even when they go to the toilet, they are more than eight beats slower than our gay men. ”
Dr. Ke listened and shook his head: "This really can't all blame the girl, the girl goes to the toilet slowly and for a long time, this is all for a reason." ”
Alexander Kira of Cornell University in the United States calculated that the average time for men and women to urinate is 39 seconds and 89 seconds, respectively, that is, women urinate about 2.3 times longer than men.[1]!
"Look! Let's just say girls grind, right? "Don't worry, next, Dr. Ke will disassemble it for everyone to see:
Boys usually use urinal buckets, girls use compartments, and girls have more steps to open and close doors.
Boys pull a close, girls have to squat or sit, to undo the belt, undo the pants, take off the pants, take off the stockings, and then in addition to lifting the pants, but also have to put the shirt T-shirt into the waist of the pants to tidy up, if you wear more in winter, it is more troublesome.
In addition, the public toilet is not necessarily clean, girls have to check the condition before going to the toilet, wipe the toilet ring, pad paper, really unsightly, but also have to use a difficult posture.

After the end, the girl also takes out a tissue from the bag, wipes it dry and wipes it clean, and the boy just needs to shake it;
If a girl happens to have a period, it will take longer, after all...

You have to carefully tear off the old ones and wrap them up and throw them away.
Be careful not to get clothes and hands,
Then take out a new sanitary napkin, tear open the package,
Carefully paste the new ones,
Then sort out your underwear (don't ask me how I know).
It all has to be done in small, not very clean, no-holds public toilets...
In addition, girls who are pregnant and who have experienced childbirth may be more susceptible to constipation, which are the cost of childbirth borne by girls alone.
So the toilet time is long, I really can't blame the girls.
However, these are not the main reasons why girls spend a long time on the toilet, and more importantly, they are actually unreasonable toilet design.
Usually, men's and women's toilets are divided into the same space, which leads to this situation:
(Source: Ghent University[3])
It can be seen that the men's toilet has 10 urinals + 2 compartments, while the women's toilet can only stuff 10 compartments.
That is to say, at the same time, there are many fewer girls than boys who can go to the toilet.
In addition, the men's toilet can also directly divert the population of defecation, and in the women's toilet, whether it is defecation, urination, change sanitary napkins, are in the same compartment, once someone has a longer time, the people behind must wait and so on...
According to Ghent University' calculations, girls wait an average of 6 minutes and 19 seconds in line, while boys only need 11 seconds.
Fewer pits, longer use times, no queues in women's toilets, is it possible?
Seeing this, you probably understand how difficult it is for girls to go to the toilet, rather than shouting at them and urging them, what is more worthy of our voice is to let more people pay attention to this phenomenon, so that more hospitals, office buildings, shopping malls, and schools can design reasonable toilets.
And this is not only convenient for girls, I believe that many boys also carry large bags and small bags waiting for girls to go to the toilet, waiting for half an hour.
I hope that one day, the well-designed toilets will be popularized, the women's toilets will not always be in long queues, and the boys will not have to wait to doubt life.
Before that, I hope that we gay men can understand them more.
