It's separating the boys dorm from the girls dorm.

Bit annoying that the suits are so close to the male dorms staircase exit. You can't exit your own dorms without having the two suits block the access to female dorms.
Almost feels like intentional vilification. A presumption of guilt. =/

That's exactly what it is :)
In the books Hermione even says that the founders of Hogwarts didn't trust boys not to try and sneak into the female dormitories :D

Even as a child, I could see the problem with the fact that only female dorm staircase in Griffindor being flattened into a slide for boys, but not vice versa.
If you wanna go down "boys bad" angle, imagine a situation where a couple of boys overpower a girl and drag her off to the male dorms. Does that sound like an impossible scenario to anyone? =/

Now imagine that a group of Ravenclaw friends, including both boys and girls, collectively decide to head off to sleep. Boys get to pass with no problem, girls have to wait while the literal white knights are blocking their path while "protecting the girls' dorms" from the boys who are just peacefully heading to their own. Not particularly Ravenclaw of you to make such a design, Rowena.

Wish people could see that all sexism is sexism, not just misogyny.
