Hi Marc,
Unfortunately a lot of things are gendered, and often it's not logical.
So when someone say "In my home ($COUNTRY), $THING is gendered for
$GENDER", you basically have to just take their word for it, even if it
doesn't make logical sense for you. So people can't really answer "Why?"
It is because it is (in $COUNTRY).

I have seen pubs mentioned in previous articles as well. Where I
live we map "taverns" as pubs. Many taverns are places where families
go on a sunday afternoon to meet, let the children play in the
playground, have an ice-creme, pancake or even full dinner together.
Traditionally (in IE & UK) women weren't allowed in pubs, and not
supposed to drink pints. Ergo there's still an overhang of that.
- Why is a toilet without gender tag considered men-only ? Where I
live public toilets have separate sections for women and men, that is
why we do not bother to map gender.
Apparently in some countries that's not true! At SotM 2016 Srravya C
explained that this isn't the case in India.
