I was looking at the bathroom sign on the way to the bathroom today and although it was not as funny as the bathroom sign in Israel that I saw, it made me think.
Do pant-wearing women find bathroom signs discriminating? Or to skirt-wearing men find bathroom signs discriminating? Or am I just an insensitive fool?
Woman are depicted all around the world, in literally every public place, no matter for language or religion - as wearing skirts. Maybe I am wrong, I have been to several countries and all of them general have women in a skirt to symbolize the women's bathroom.
So I ask, is that at all sexist? If so, should we look for alternative bathroom signs?

Yeah... what about in Scotland? Do those men find this offensive, or do they just accept the invitation?

Maybe the woman in the image is wearing pants AND a skirt, a la Israeli women.
