Having seen this claim in a few articles, I am wondering - in what part of the world does this take place ?! I've never heard of such a custom! Am I just in a cultural backwater, or what? I said references, dammit! ( :-) ) Jeff Winslow

[}{] I have seen women going to the bathroom many times around L.A. The project that I am on has more women then men and often (not always) you can see a couple going to the bathroom at one time. In fact, I have kidded them on this a few times. -- Brad Brahms usenet: {decvax,ucbvax}!trwrb!trwspp!brahms arpa: Brahms@USC-ECLC

Re: Women Go To The Bathroom in Groups?________________________________________ For whoever wants references that women go to the bathroom in groups, check out Mimi Pond's "Secret's of the Powder Room - What Every Man Should Know About Women." In there it is revealed what women do in bathrooms. Mimi Pond is very funny. She works at the _National_Lampoon_ (a mag- azine that features sexism, yet whose most talented staffers are all women!). Her book covers a few points that Susan Brownmiller's "Femininity" don't even touch. (In fact, I was thinking of doing a dual book review for the two books.) Oh, all right; I'll tell you what happens in there. The following is excerpted for review purposes from the aforementioned book *not* written by Susan Brownmiller: T H E S E C R E T O F T H E P O W D E R R O O M (1st Panel (This is a cartoon!): Two heterosexual couples in a restaurant. Two women getting up from their seats.) Voice Over: Men *NEVER* do this: First Woman: 'Scuse me, I've got to visit the powder room! Second Woman: Good idea! I'll go with you! (2nd Panel: Two men sitting alone at table.) First Man: Hey Ralph - How come they go together like that? What do they *do* in there? Ralph: That, my friend, is one of life's great mysteries. Voice Over: Wouldn't YOU like to know? (3rd Panel: The two women are in the restroom, holding their purses upside- down, dumping cosmetics and such onto the counter.) First Woman: So tell me, is Ralph hung? Second Woman: HUNG? Like a horse, I'm telling you. (4th Panel: First Woman is putting on lipstick. Second Woman combing and spraying her hair.) Second Woman: His balls tickle his kneecaps. (5th Panel: Both women are putting mascara on their eyelashes.) Second Woman: With all that equipment, you'd think he'd know how to use it. But NO-O-O-O-O! Is that Fabuliner? First Woman: Mm-hm. Second Woman: Lemme borrow it. (6th Panel: First Woman getting out a powderpuff. Second Woman still doing her lashes. Third Woman stepping out of bathroom stall behind them.) Second Woman: Besides, he sweats like a pig when we're screwing. It's dis- gusting. (7th Panel: First Woman powdering her face. Third Woman puts her hand on the Second Woman's shoulder.) Third Woman: Did I hear you say your boyfriend sweated a lot? My late hus- band did that. It used to drip right into my eyes. Disgus- ting. What can you do though? Second Woman: God, it's terrible. (8th Panel: First Woman has put away the powderpuff.) Third Woman: In fact, I didn't even really enjoy sex until I met Miltie. He's like a 20-year-old. He says it's because he's Lithu- anian. Second Woman: Gee, no kidding? Does he have a brother? (9th Panel: Third Woman leaving restroom. First Woman is closing her purse with an audible snap. Second Woman is picking up her purse.) First Woman: What a *nice* lady...We'd better get back to the boys. Second Woman: They'll think we've been talking about them. (10th Panel: The two men are sitting at the table with aghast looks on their faces. Especially Ralph.) Voice Over: Aren't you sorry you asked? [End Of Text Excerpted For Review Purpose] So now you know! (-: :-) <_Jym_> ._________________________________________________________. .__!
