My answer remains unchanged. Piss on it anyway if the stalls are all full.

I tend to get stage fright at urinals so I personally use the stalls but just walking past other people at the urinals has never been bothersome. Especially with the unspoken "no eye contact" rule that's respected by most male bathroomgoers

Once at my college somebody put up "make a friend!" signs in front of the urinals at eye level, urging bathroom users to strike up a conversation and offering sample topics such as "do you visit many restrooms?" and "my, what impressive urine stream consistency you have." Sadly nobody was in the restroom with me at the time, so I couldn't use them. :(

Alright that's my urinal story hope you liked it

I used to have this problem until I started working, and soon discovered that thinking about Visual Basic 6 fills me with such seething misanthropy I stop caring. No joke, I just stand there thinking about that lovely language and peeeeeeee.

The correct solution here is to put small, standing-room stalls around urinals. Urinals use less water and are more convenient if you just need to take a whizz, but it's not exactly like I enjoy being shoulder-to-shoulder with some old guy who's sighing like he's getting the world's greatest BJ while he whizzes any more than a lady would enjoy seeing my exposed wiener evacuating fluid waste from my body. It's dumb as gently caress that there's no stalls around urinals, because 'tweener urinals are wasted space anyway because dudes will legit stand in line and wait rather than use an open urinal that's between two other guys.

I see plenty of urinals with dividers between them, though I don't think they're really all that useful.

I think you misunderstand the point.

if there is a unisex bathroom with urinals it will be a lot more intimidating for women, because dudes can 'accidentally' flash their meat to chicks.

and if you don't understand that then well I don't know what to tell you.

I don't have a problem with uni-sex bathrooms, but american 'bro' students just love to rape and sexually assault women so I think it's best to take precautions to avoid that.

Okay you've convinced me, keep the women's bathroom women only for those who want a safe space, meanwhile for efficiency's sake the men's bathroom can be unisex for those who want shorter average lines.

I look forward to the cries of 'misandry' and 'male erasure' from the MRAs.

And probably some cries of "misogyny, this segregates bathrooms into 'normal people' and 'women'" from a few radfems.

I've seen a fair number of women come into men's rooms to avoid long lines for the women's room, and I don't think I've ever seen a guy who even remotely gives a poo poo. This would basically just codify that, and I don't think it's a big deal at all. Most people aren't worried about what "could happen" in the bathroom if someone sees their junk, but if they are, they are almost always concerned about men doing it, whether they themselves are male or female.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out, with regards to piss on toilet seats, that even the worst-aiming dudes are still better than the "hoverer." I found out about that phenomenon on an airplane one time, using the lavatory after a woman who did so. Holy gently caress, there was piss everywhere!

Yeah, halfassed dividers are worthless. I'm talking a proper enclosure around the whole thing, just like toilets get.

Basking in the cathode glow
American Standard and Kohler Started selling Female/Unisex urinals in the late 1940's to cater to the large number of women who had entered the workforce during WWII. Women didn't like them because they had to hover, and they disappeared by the 1970s.


My college had these in all the men's rooms across campus due solely to the fact that American Standard had a huge glut of these things laying around unsold after they were discontinued. They simply relabeled them as standard "men's" urinals and sold them at a massive discount.

Rip plastic off and throw it on the floor, take two steps back from the urinal, drop pants and undies to my ankles, let er rip!

I wish all urinals were the ones that extend all the way to the floor. I like those.

There should be only one bathroom, and it should be labeled, "For people with the emotional maturity to handle basic bodily functions in a public place".

Everyone else can just hold it till they can get home.

The only downside I can see to women using the men's room is that moment of panic when I walk in to pee, see a woman and wonder if I just committed a heinous sex crime by charging into the wrong bathroom.
