Women in China, fed up with the ever-present long queues
outside public toilets, have decided to occupy the male toilets to
protest against the unequal waiting time.
A group of female students in Guangzhou, China gathered outside a
men's toilet at a park on February 24 and held up placards that
read, 'More conveniences for women, more gender equality' and 'If
you love her, don't let her wait in line'.
The protest, dubbed 'Occupy Men's Toilets' was initiated by a
college student from Beijing named Li Maizi who got frustrated by
the interminable wait to use the toilets while attending a
conference in Guangzhou.
During the protest, men were still allowed to use the facility.
When the queue started to grow beyond the women's toilet, activists
would stop men who were heading to the toilet and ask them to wait
and let the women use it first.
