Unpopular opinion: toilets are perfectly shaped to make farts as loud as possible.

Yes. I wonder, though, why? What conditioned me this way? Also, in some societies, such as Japan, concealing toilet sounds is encrouaged by those otohime devices in public bathrooms.

    Interesting that the wiki says it’s only for women’s restrooms.

    Also funny that some women just really need the real thing, the sound box isn’t good enough. Never mind the public toilet spraying your nethers with flush water while you do your business. I guess the bidet helps with some of that.

    Well, drawing from feminist theory, it's all about men being allowed to be rough, dirty, filthy, smelly, loud, taking up space (physical, emotional, whathaveyou), careless, inconsiderate, dominant, whathaveyou without losing legitimacy as real men. Women, on the other hand, especially in Japan but really in any current human society, are forced to be feminine (as per patriarchal norms, the makeup industry's standards, heterosexual men's sexual desires, whathaveyou) or else risk losing legitimacy as real women. After all, girls don't poop.

    Edit/link description: search results on duckduckgo for "girls don't poop", with the purpose of sarcastically pointing to some ridiculous Reddit conversations, memes and jokes that "process" or reflect women's lack of right to self-governance and dignity.
