female or male?

So this is the sign on the door in the toilets at the Everyman.

I realise it's not the highlight of my evening - although there was an incredible amount of talk from the stage about bowels and toilet humour - but I got really confused. The other symbol has the bow tie above the face/eye thing. But I couldn't work it out. Eventually, a nice woman in the toilet explained to me that this is the men's and the women's has the bow above, like a bow in her hair.

Right.

All this in a slightly multisex toilet - it's just a largeish room with two (badly labelled) toilets on each side. Kinda like Cagney and Lacey in the early eighties - remember their multisex toilets? They solved a lot of crimes in there.

Crimes not solved, as far as I could tell last night, but lots of reapplication of eyeliner.
