I was a janitor at a church a long time ago. I can confirm with absolute certainty that the women’s restrooms were usually worse than the men’s restrooms.

Oh lord.
I've never been sure if it was a situational thing or a general thing, but years ago my then-girlfriend and I cleaned a suite of offices three nights a week, and I was surprised to discover that the women's restroom was generally much worse than the men's. And I don't mean just messy - I mean foul and gross.
I never did figure out why that was, but the difference was undeniable.
I was talking to someone who were cleaning student nightclub bathrooms, and he was like "What are they doing? Why is there used tampons stuck to the celing above the toilets? Do they just fling them up there when they take it out?"
Women don't want to sit on the toilet seat, so they hover over it to do their business.
Plus their aim sucks because they don't have anything to aim with.
I worked at a gas station.
Washing your hands makes your hands cleaner but the bathroom dirtier
Why would you wash your towel? Your towel washes you. That's like cleaning your shower.
I have also observed that women tend to be messier than men, but keep in mind that it only takes one person to ruin a bathroom. Also, I can't say that it doesn't have more do with cultural, regional, or generational factors than sex or gender.
Where I live its the opposite
No not really, at least for me
That problem had nothing to do with men or women or whatever. Humans in general are gross. 🤷
I take it you haven't been into many? As someone who's career has led me into a every room in a building for one reason or another... The women's restrooms are heinous in comparison to men's.
Same experience over 24 years. Women’s was almost always worse day to day. And when there was an intentional mess the women’s didn’t just have shit all over the wall. Oh no, that wasn’t good enough. I’ll leave your imagination to what I mean. Absolutely vile.
Having worked in multiple bars when I was younger I 100% agree!
There were distinct differences.
The stink differences.
