"If the genders were reversed, it would be sexual assault"—'Women Prohibited from Entering' sign posted on men's restroom at holiday rest stop [What Do You Think?]

[Financial News] A photo showing a sign banning women from entering a men's restroom at a highway rest stop during the Chuseok holiday has sparked controversy online.
On the 24th, a photo was posted on Thread with the explanation, "I took this at a rest stop while heading to Yeosu."
The photo shared by a user identified as A shows a sign reading "Women Prohibited from Entering" posted on the door of a men's restroom at a rest stop.
The sign reads, "Many complaints have been pouring in. Only men may use the men's restroom. Women are asked to use the women's restroom."
User A wrote, "Isn't this too much? But can this even solve the problem?"
Some female visitors were reportedly using the men's restroom frequently at the rest stop because lines for the women's restroom had grown long.
Most netizens who came across the story defended the rest stop's measure, saying, "If the genders had been reversed, this would have resulted in someone being booked for sexual assault or sexual harassment."
Others repeatedly pointed out, "Because of their layout, urinals in men's restrooms are exposed, causing embarrassment and discomfort."
Some, however, responded, "The rest stop's infrastructure is the real cause, as it has failed to fundamentally resolve the congestion in women's restrooms that recurs every holiday."
