Specifically, I'm wondering why men have public urinating and women have their own stalls always. What determined this? For instance, in a men's bathroom there are urinals. This involves going pee in the presence of other men. Also, at many gyms and in movies where they show boys locker rooms, they is one big shower with lots of heads and guys shower 'together'.<br> <br> Women on the other hand have separate toilets always (I'm aware urinals wouldn't work and that men also have separate toilets for pooing), and separated shower stalls (in my experience). <br> <br> Why? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.126832 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 20:35:48 -0800 bathroom menvswomen public urinals AsRuinsAreToRome http://ask.metafilter.com/11324/How%2Dcan%2Dyou%2Dovercome%2Dpee%2Dshyness%2Din%2Dpublic%2Durinals How can you overcome pee shyness in public urnials?
