The pedant in me says you would have to like girls who like girls, which would make it a bit of a self-defeating exercise.

Re: Washrooms
Not necessarily Marian , I was at a wedding in Greece once , and the engagement party , where the Groom carries away the bride was on the Friday before Monday' wedding , there was a long queue to shake hands with the bride's father and mother , and as I approached the father , he said in Greek ,, oh ! I hope you will come to my daughters wedding on Monday , to which I accepted , he then said something so quick that I missed it but heard the word for mustache , my friend , his nephew , quickly translated , and said with the mustache , you don't look like an English Tourist , you actually look Greek , Now this was rural village Greece , and neither spoke English , so my friend , added , but my wife has a better mustache than you to the end of the translation . I am now shaking hands and kissing the lady , twice as is the custom , and you try and keep a straight face , when faced with a black luscious line of hair across the top lip . She must have thought , what a bumbling idiot .

Re: Washrooms
Was it the same at your school?
The boys changing rooms in the school I attended never had hot water in the showers yet the girls changing rooms always did.
Why is that?
This was brought home to us when the 2nd string school rugby team I was in came off at the end of a match against our local school rivals, on a pitch that was an absolute mud bath with no green on it all. On arriving back at the changing room as per usual no hot water in the showers but steam coming from underneath a door in the changing room plus the sound of running water indicated that there was hot water next door. A few hefty shoves and we were into a steam filled changing room with hot showers...oh joy.
It was when the screams started we realised that we were actually in the girls changing room but hey we needed a shower as well
So discrimination was rife even back then, non of us would have objected to having to share hot showers and changing rooms with the girls!!!

Re: Washrooms
I was discriminated against! When I went to secondary school it was all male, the lovely girls in primary school were not allowed to come with me.
