    definitely

    working in high tech my office is 95% men, speaking with the other women uninterrupted in the ladies room has been very helpful. We can exchange information without some nerd breaking in and bleating & boasting about something important to him but off topic.

    The only way I've found to keep the sanctity of our women's communications outside of the ladies room is to speak loudly about the ob-gyn when a dweeb comes by to break up the conversation; & once they're repelled we can go back to talking about management changes and such.
