So what was up w/ women only portapotties at roctoberfest?

I have one small lingering peeve from what was otherwise an awesome weekend at Roctoberfest. Here's my story. I'm at Roctoberfest and shortly after my second helping of that splendid jambalaya, I'm heading into the first portapotty to take a dump. My hand is on the door handle, when a female voice calls out, "You can't use that one, its for women only." She gestured at a sign someone had taped to the door (It being almost dark, said note was impossible to make out, but I assume it said something like "women only"). "What?" I replied incredulously, "You've got to be kidding!". "Nope," this woman proudly explained, "We women don't like sitting on seats you guys pee all over."
I didn't want to make a stink (not to mention, more importantly, I really needed to make a stink), so I meekly walked down the row until I assumed I must be safely in man potty territory, and took my dump in peace, shaking my head over what had just happened. But this feminazi shit police logic really pisses me off (Ok, I'll try to cease with the potty talk). Tell me, tell me please, that the RRGCC did not condone this nonsense. I have two points:
1. Some women also spray. Indeed probably some of those who don't want to use the same potty used by, gasp, a man, are also the same germaphobes who, because they can't bear the thought of their antiseptic tushes coming into contact with a non-sterile environment, "hover" over the hole, spraying far worse than any drunk rock climber with a penis ever has.
2. Many men do not spray. I proudly number myself amongst these proud few. Perhaps assisted by the fact that I live in a household with wife and 3 daughters, I am well trained in the art of lifting the seat. So, even if only men are the offenders, I am not one of those men. I, therefore, have just as much right to a dry seat as any woman. I resent being numbered with the despoilers of public toiletry.
So, for the record, the woman only portapotties were blatantly sexist. Whoever thought that up needs to cut this crap out next year (sorry, couldn't resist).
Thanks. I just needed to unload that.
End of rant.
