Bias from Gender Split Activities

To what extent is going to the cinema a male only, female only or mixed gender group activity? How does the act of segregating a queue disproportionately effect males or females and for what movies? And given this, to what extent are the rules 'flexed' to cope with extremely long queues? Gender segregated queues from Gangtok, India.

Security in the Gangtok movie theatre was tight - pat downs and bag checks to look for 'terror related' paraphernalia, their search brief extended to banning cameras and stopping customers bringing their own food and drink in the cinema (movie theatres can make more money on food and drink than on selling movie tickets). Security can be profitable.
