Give them Chinese style squat toilets. But then again, they would probably prefer to use the Men’s room rather than those.

Why call them Chinese toilets?
In my first trip to Paris, 1969, in the middle of downtown near La Madeleine, I experienced such a toilet on Rue Duphot.

I call them French toilets.

Thanks for the correction. Must have gotten lucky during my visits to France.

Paris has catered to the foreign crowd since before France was even a major colonial power, so it's not surprising that you'd see a squat toilet there. Outside of Paris, I suspect that was a rarity in 1969. Nowadays, probably more common (for obvious reasons).
