Difference of bathroom time between men and women?

in an admittedly small survey, my friends state that their men spend much more time in the bathroom than they do.

is there a physical reason for this? in other words, is there a difference between men's and women's intestinal/colon anatomy which necessiates a longer period of time?

Answer:
My theory has always been..women let it "marinate" and we know when its ready men always jump the gun and end up sitting on it forever!
we take longer shitss lol
i'm a women and i take 25-35 minute on average to void my rectum
The man in my house reads Penthouse on the throne, so he stays in a LONG time. I'm busy trying to cook dinner or chase the kids around, so I get in and get out!! I doubt there is a real physical reason...
I suspect the real problem isn't that people spend different amounts of time, it is just that time always seems to go faster when you're on the outside, waiting. The guys probably think that their women spend more time in the bathroom than they do.
