Koohii Story 1 Compared to pants, a SKIRT is the GARMENT to be wearing when you want to use one of those Japanese toilets. It makes it so much easier: you just walk in the OUTHOUSE hike it up, and do your business.
Koohii Story 2 Haven´t you ever noticed that the men / women signs on the front of outhouses are sometimes very similar? The silhouettes are usually the same, but one will decidedly be wearing a garment in the shape of a SKIRT. Also, we´ve already learned the kanji for "woman", so if the signs are only in kanji you have no right to wander in and claim ignorance, perv!
