Women in the gents!

Yes, that does seem odd, Nonnie. I wonder what they were up to?

They may have identified as male

Nothing is private any more. And if your DH wanted to go into a women's toilet now he could not be challenged.

Yes, *henetha I understand it as a mistake, I think we have all done that but these girls clearly knew as they had to pass the men using the stalls. Not sure why they needed to go into a cubicle together!?!

I blushingly admit I've been guilty of this. Accidentally of course.
I once walked into the sailor's toilets on HMS Fearless.
(at Navy Days in Plymouth). I came out very fast after various comments from the sailors.
My friend Mary and I walked into the Gents at the Dover Ferry Port. Again, a fast exit was necessary!
And, more recently, I was amazed when a man walked into what I thought was the Ladies in our local Sainsbury's.
It turned out it was me that was wrong, - I was in the Gents.
Yes, I am short-sighted. And yes, I am bonkers.

I think I'd agree with you Nonnie. Did none of the men in the gents at the time say anything to the 2 girls? My OH would have been very embarrassed if he'd been "caught in the act"!

I’m not sure if this is exclusively the domain of the young. I must confess, in my younger days, to nipping into the gents when the queue to the ladies was too long. I suggested this once to my dil at the theatre when the ladies were very busy and she was absolutely horrified by the suggestion. I’ve never really thought about the double standard, although I can see exactly what you mean.
