Paris ‘the modern city” had them over a century ago on the public streets

I still see them at some bars

I noticed a few stores had locked restrooms this weekend.
I thought it might be a coincident.
If this is a new policy, predict it will soon be reversed.
People are too used to it.

That’s also been a factor in why hot air dyers aren’t hygienic in public waterclosets

B.S.

For men, urinals for doing #1 are more sanitary than sit down toilets.

Next home I build will have a urinal and a toilet in every bathroom. There is nothing “sexist” about it, it’s part of sex distinctions, not sex discrimination.

I am sure women in any house that includes urinals will also appreciate the absence of those occasions men who would have otherwise had to urinate at the toilet and might have (a) missed the target, (b) left the seat up, (c) missed the target and left the seat down. A urinal leaves so little chance of “missing the target” and requires no seat to get in the way or have to manipulate. Much cleaner, for men and #1.

The elites and anti-masculine and anti-American left have been trying to turn men into sitzenpissers for a long time. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Everywhere you go, there is nowhere to go. The closure of many public conveniences as part of the coronavirus lockdown is forcing a rethink of the way Britons relieve themselves away from home.

Don't they have streets? Humming "If you're going to San Francisco..." to myself as I type this.

Sad but true.

We had men who would do that at work even though there were urinals nearby.

I suspect foreigners. I noticed that some of them tended to go to the stalls to pee rather than use the urinal.

Umm - urinals ARE hygienic. Moreso than toilets and all the public ones I’ve seen as of late have large dividers between them and have touch less flush systems.

This article was probably written by a woman.

In the People's Socialist Kakistocracy of Austin, building codes already make it hard to have urinals in new or renovated public or business restrooms, since bathrooms must be equal.

It's surprising that Austin Stadtführer "Adolf" Adler hasn't issued a "sit-down" diktat for all toilet users.

I stopped at “British Toilet Association”. How would you like that on your business card?

Maybe, but I cannot imagine any feminist wanting those. They are the most disgusting thing I saw during my entire visit to China last year.

Lol... If it’s a genuinely gender-neutral toilet men will just pee on the seats

...and then get snitched on by the Karens.

Isn’t urine fresh from the body sterile?

There is an invention that’s been around for a couple of decades called the self-flushing urinal and the self-flushing toilet. The Brits should look into it.

Just a couple of years ago women were bitching in print that men were taking up too much personal space on subway cars “manspreading” but now everyone needs to keep 6 feet apart from everyone else.

All of liberalism is a series of lies.
