I thought about it later and realized I should have told the ladies they were welcome to use the men's room and we should form a single line to wait for the first available restroom.

A few weeks ago in Silver Springs state park, I went to use the restroom and found the same situation - a line for the women's restroom but none for the single stall men's room. I told the women they could use the men's room. When I young guy came up, I told him there was a woman in the men's room and asked him to wait until it was free. He agreed and thought it was a fair thing to do.

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.

Prior to the start, one of our gentlemen (the term is used very loosely here) went to use the facilities and found a lineup of women standing waiting at the men's door. 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?

My experience has been that women’s restroom lines are often more frequent and/or longer than men’s lines so making single user restrooms non-gender specific would benefit women more than men.

I wouldn't care. If I had to go badly enough AND there was no one in the mens' room, I'd let someone know I was going in there, and I'd go in there and do my business and get out.

I wouldn't be offended if a man did the same in the ladies' room, as long as he aimed his business and made sure the seat was in the "down" position when he was done.
