Why are there gendered bathrooms?
<|assistant|>
Gendered bathrooms exist as a consequence of the traditional gender structures that exist in society. Generally, women were prohibited from certain areas or activities in the past due to societal norms, which caused the separation of male and female bathrooms in many public places. This tradition has been retained due to many factors, such as tradition and cultural considerations, as well as safety and privacy.
