Assalam,
That is too true!!
Especially when there's more women than men at my Mosque.

I guess they figure we should be home anyway so any ol corner will do.  On a more serious note though the men are obligated to attend prayers at the Mosque and women are not.

Since they can't see us connected like a jigsaw puzzle :) it's aw let them manage. So what they have little children running over them.

On average, men attend the masjid more than women because they are obligated to attend salat ul'Jumuah.  It is also better for men to pray other prayers in the masjid whereas it is better for women to pray at home, (not to mention, much easier because they usually are watching kids).  At the masjid I attend, their are far more men than women attending.  Theirs probably 10 men for every 1 woman.  So..it is understandable that women would get a smaller prayer area.  If in your masjid, there are more women, perhaps you could speak with those running the masjid.  I'm sure something could be figured out if there are more women attending than men.
