Another pet peeve

This is one of those things that drives me crazy and when a friend said something to remind me last night, It took all I had not to go into a long explanation why its done... Ok I hate comments about girls going to the bathroom together! Don't get me wrong there is a certain beer company that makes light of this on one of their "man up" commercials and I snicker, but this is not some female phenomenon- it is years of conditioning! Every little girl is sent to the bathroom with her mother, or older sibling or those "special" moments when the women's line is too long and she is sent to the men's room with father, but never alone. As a teenager you are told to always have a buddy everywhere you go- that includes the bathroom, luckily sharing a stahl is not required- but again never alone. Women simply adapted to going to the bathroom in a pack or at least in pairs. We simply evolved the concept to include girl talk, why not get a bonus out of having to go together? I do want to add as an adult women I will go to the restroom by myself, i do however make sure my husband will wait for me near the exit, just in case- i mean malls and stuff can be scary bathrooms- don't worry at a restaurant or something - i really do go by myself
