Our guy (the aforementioned gentleman, again, term is used very loosely here) went to the door, pointed to the "MEN's sign, and proceeded through the door oblivious to the line of women waiting in line. His argument, much to the chagrin and chastisement of the women standing in line, was its the MEN's restroom not the women's. Aren't the women offended when the men use their facilities?
The question is, is this guy a hero activist for men's rights, or a misogynistic cad?

Not sure it would be appropriate to call a man a misogynist for using the men's restroom. In the past it may have been commendable to let the ladies use the men's RR, however today possibly not. I was pushed and berated for holding a door open for a woman entering the bank.
IMO he may have been boorish in the execvution, however I see nothing wrong with his expectation that the men's room is for men. Did we get the pronouns of the individuals waiting in line? That could make this go in a totally different direction.
