I would agree with you fully. Gender is not the issue here

I have come to two conclusions. One, people immediately recognize those signs and two, this is better than the Enter and Exit signs at any store. Haha.

Hmm, I wonder if you switched the bathroom signs men would intentionally use the "women's" restroom because it had urinals and vice versa for women wondering why in the hell there are urinals in the women's bathroom.

i dont think this is conformity to gender roles.... what "roles" are they conforming to?
i think this just shows that ppl FOLLOW RULES.

that is true, i would not enter the opposite sex's bathroom but those doors in the video are clearly not a bathroom. I am a bit goofy, if i am paying attention, i would intentionally use the wrong door. but thats just me. but i agree with you, most people would relate it to bathroom signs.

Symbols are very powerful. We are conditioned toward symbols consciously and subconsciously each and every day.
Now think about this shit, if SYMBOLS (stick figures) one with skirt, one without MAKES US CHANGE our direction when walking to go through the door which are associated to without even knowing it, how about the ALL SEEING EYE triangle Masonic Symbolism you see EVERY DAY in MTV/VH1/BET/CNN/NBC/CBS and Hollywood movies! Those symbols are even CRAZIER than the female/male ones!!!!

No, it would require a common identity, pure culture, strong heritage, not very possible in today's mostly mixed multicultural soup vats. |
