How people coped with normal bodily functions in crazy clothes is one of them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There are a million untold stories in history. How people coped with normal bodily functions in crazy clothes is one of them.
Monkeys carrying chamber pots would assist you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Was there a rationale for that? I mean, a good one?
I'm sure there was some sort of rationale, a paternal respect for female frailty?
Oh, wait, you said a good one...
The law also required that women get a lunch break. Men could go hungry.

I don't know how you do this everyday, Jilli.
Years of practice? Years of wrangling Giant!Fluffy!Skirts at nightclubs with less-than-ideal bathrooms?
Hoops are easy. As long as you have a good grip on the fabric and one tier of boning, hoop skirts can be flipped up, twisted sideways, and generally compressed to be smaller while using the bathroom. Hoops + petticoats + corset? That takes a bit more wiggling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No! It means their ear-attention is pointing right at you! The gaps inbetween your words? They can't escape hearing you tinkle. The stalls have ears.

Was there a rationale for that? I mean, a good one?
Here in MN, it's for the comfort and privacy of breast-feeding mothers.
