You obviously have no sense of the female anatomy. Ever noticed that women have to sit down to go to the bathroom? Ever wonder why? Ever wonder what a drag it is to have to even bother changing tampons every few hours? nope, didn't think so. Tell you what: why don't you complain to your female housemates? Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll kick you out. marie desjardins P.S. Sorry for the flame, I've never thought the female anatomy was exactly fair (if I ever run into God, I'll ask her what on earth she was thinking of...). I think maybe you should think more about the situation your female housemates are in and less about something STUPID like toilet paper.
