David Foss: Even 5-year-olds know which bathroom door to choose

In kindergarten, we learned that men have a penis and women have a vagina. Borrowing a line from the movie “Kindergarten Cop,” it enforces the fact that even 5-year-olds know which door to choose. Look at the picture on the door, you idiots! If you wear pants, and have a penis, go to the door marked “men.” If you have a skirt and a vagina, go to the door marked “women.” It’s what it is, in your pants or under your skirt, not what’s between your ears that dictates the door for you.
