Ask, where are the most people in the mall?
Is it a hot food shop? Or a cosmetics counter that receives benefits for free? The real answer may be in front of the door of the women's restroom.
Because here, there are not only long lines of female friends, but also male friends standing by the women's restroom brushing their mobile phones and waiting for their girlfriends/wives. I believe that many people have seen this phenomenon.
Whether it is a park, a shopping mall, or a tourist attraction, there is always a long queue in front of the women's toilet, while the men's toilet only has a few pedestrians passing by, and it is fast to walk fast, and there is rarely a queue.
There is always a "long queue" in front of the women's toilet door, what is the situation?
To answer this question, we must first figure out, what are girls doing in the toilet?
It's been summer lately, and we started by going into the toilet.
After entering the toilet, first close the door of the toilet cubicle and wipe the toilet seat with paper. Women who pay attention to hygiene are more concerned about the sanitary conditions of the public toilets outside, and are afraid of any residual germs and get infected with gynecological diseases.
Secondly, women in the summer to wear loose hair, wearing long skirts or jumpsuits, but also need to hold the skirt corners in their hands, jumpsuits should also be in the arms, so as not to get dirty. This process takes a long time.
Then it's time to go to the toilet. Compared with men, women may need to change sanitary napkins during menstruation, and they also have to endure the weakness caused by painful menstruation and wipe it clean. Then sort out your clothes and prepare to clean up your scattered belongings.
It was hard to get out of the toilet cubicle, wash your hands with running water during the epidemic, and reduce your exposure to other items. Wearing a mask for a long time may also cause the makeup to be spent by sweat, and then take out the powder, lipstick, etc. from the bag to make up a beautiful makeup.
So far, girls have spent far more time in the toilet than men.
The study found that girls spend more time on the toilet than boys on average, for what reason?
According to a study by the University of Ghent in Belgium, women spend more time on the toilet than men. There are two main reasons for this.
First, in many places, the number of people that men's and women's toilets can accommodate is not consistent. The same space in the men's restroom can be divided into urinals and regular toilet cubicles. Women only have toilets with cubicles. This means that under the same space, the capacity of the women's toilet is small, and the waiting time is more.
Second, even if there are as many toilets as there are for men and women, physiological factors cause women to urinate longer. It only takes about 1 minute for men to urinate, while it takes 1.5 minutes for women, which also includes steps such as wiping. Affected by the female physiological structure, not being able to wipe it clean is likely to bring a higher risk of gynecological diseases and is also a threat to health.
So the majority of male friends, when you sit on the bench near the toilet and wait anxiously, don't be busy complaining, be considerate of girls. It's really hard for them to go to the bathroom smoothly.
Equality between men and women is not only reflected in the number of toilets
More and more cities and public facilities have begun to pay attention to the issue of "gender equality", designing the area of male and female toilets to be as large. But in fact, the area of the toilet, the number of toilets is the same, can not really reflect the equality. Being able to pay close attention to women's needs for toilets is the real consideration of equality.
For example, whether there is a need for facilities to prevent splashing in public toilets, whether there are hooks in the compartments of the women's toilets that can place clothes, and whether there is enough space in the women's toilets to ensure that women can wipe and change sanitary napkins. In this regard, perhaps there is still a lot of room for improvement in women's toilets in some places.
Only by truly respecting the physical differences between men and women and taking reasonable measures to improve them can we truly achieve equality.
Do you have any suggestion for this?
Remind women: if you have the intention to urinate, go to the toilet quickly, holding urine for too long will also hurt your body
When working in the company, when playing outside, when thinking that there may be a queue in front of the toilet door, many people dare not drink water, and even if they have the intention of urinating, they also choose to endure and prepare to go home to the toilet.
But for women, holding urine for too long is likely to hurt the body.
The bacteria and dirty things carried in the urine are likely to be unable to be excreted for a long time, so that they regurgitate to the urethra, kidneys, etc., thus bringing the problem of urinary tract infection. When women hold urine, the bladder is overfilled, and it may also squeeze the uterus, resulting in the uterine cavity being affected, which may bring risks such as dysmenorrhea and infertility. For pregnant women and pregnant women, frequent urination may also stimulate uterine contractions, inducing premature birth and miscarriage.
It can be seen that after a woman has a desire to urinate, it is recommended that people can go to the toilet in time to drain the urine. In order to avoid the problem of holding urine in public places and queuing up in front of the toilet door, you can plan the time to go to the toilet according to your own drinking water, and don't wait until you are uncomfortable to hold urine before you start looking for a toilet, it is too late.
What makes it difficult for many men to understand is that the behavior of long queues in women's toilets is actually related to physiological differences and incomplete public facilities. Men can give women more patience and understanding. And women should also pay attention to the bad habit of holding urine and correct it as soon as possible.
