Guys kick women out of men's restroom after they didn't want to wait in line, sparking debate

A video has gone viral showing the moment two women were kicked out of a men's restroom - after they apparently didn't want to join the line for the women's.

Shared to TikTok by Barstool University of Arkansas (@barstoolua), the incident apparently occurred at Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion during a live country music concert on August 26, per the post's caption.

The video in question shows a security guard escorting two women out of a cubicle in the men's bathroom, as someone in the background shouts: "Get them out of here!"

As the women leave, another person says: "Get the f**k out of here," as cheering erupts from the men.

Check out the video below:

Someone else can even be heard randomly shouting: "Let's go, Brandon!" in an apparent reference to a code for insulting President Joe Biden.

The text overlay on the TikTok read: "These guys did NOT like the girls using their bathroom instead of waiting in line."

It seems the video - which boasts over eight million views and half a million likes - has sparked an interesting debate in the comments section about whether women have the right to use the men's bathroom and vice versa - with user opinions divided over the situation.

One user questioned what would happen if the situation was reversed, writing: "Now if the roles were flipped…"

While another added: "If a dude did that [it'd] be a different story."

"Cops would be called if a guy did this and used the ladies' restroom because the line was long. See the girls laughing? They thought it was cute and quirky [sic]," another comment said.

Not everyone shared the same views, with one person stating: "Yeah, I get it but if the men's has free stalls and the girl's line is literally a 30-minute wait, I'm running to the free stalls [sic]."

One woman took to the comments section to offer her own experience, stating: "I've been told many times by MEN to use the men's room before them since the ladies had a long line. I guess that's the difference between a boy [and a] man."

This TikTok user seemed to agree, commenting: "Honestly I don't care either way if you gotta go [you] gotta go."

"Same toilet different sign. I [don't] care who uses it just FLUSH!" someone else chimed in.

An Insider report showed that women tend to wait much longer in line to use the restroom - a whopping 34-times longer.

"That's mostly because women take longer - they menstruate, they have more clothes to remove, and they're more likely to have children or the elderly with them," the report stated.

It's possible that this wait-time inequity may be a reason for the women using the men's restroom in the viral TikTok. But, regardless of the reason, when you gotta go you really gotta go.
