    Why would it require modifications to toilets? Except for pissoirs toilets are not gendered. And IMHO, pissoirs should be vanished anyway, they’re disgusting. But technically, all genders can use any restroom (I haven’t seen any pissoir-only restroom yet).

      In a museum near me you had two doors:
      men <–> women

      for a few years they replaced the signs
      3x U + 1x T <–> 3x T

      Where U is an icon for urinals and T is an icon for a regular toilet. Everybody understand this. But then again, art museums attract more progressive people than conservative people so I can imagine if they did this in a school for example it’d be different.

      Pissoirs are great because of the huge through put, women/girls should be taught to use FUDs to use them too.

      on a tangent: I always feel like crap when the stalls are occupied and the last resort is taking the disgusting pissoir.

      Why exactly are wall potties disgusting? If anything it helps prevent lazy douchebags from pissing all over the toilet seats.

        Well, first, no toilet paper. Nobody wipes their wiener, so everyone stains their undies, and I personally find urine stained undies disgusting.
        But also, splashing a liquid with an adequate amount of pressure against a hard surface will result in backsplashes. Not a lot of pressure is needed though, so more urine stains everywhere. That effect is drastically reduced when sitting down on a toilet.

          Um, that’s why guys shake it a bit before stowing it, hence the “if you shake it more than three times you’re playing with it.” I can honestly say I don’t dribble all over my undies cause I make sure it’s empty, kinda like a fuel pump nozzle. And any guy with half a brainstem has figured out how to find the right angle to not back spray themselves (hint: most urinal manufacturers put a small graphic low in the bowl as a kind of target to minimize back spray, knowing guys like to aim their stream at things).

          Good luck getting guys to sit on the toilet to pee. Aside from it being a faux pas for whatever stupid reason, it’s generally a waste of time when we can walk up to either a urinal or toilet, unzip and whiz, zip up, wash, and go. Most guys have managed to make it an efficient and clean process for a very long time and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. Sorry, but this is pretty silly.

            That’s not enough. In german, there’s a saying: "Es hilft kein Schütteln und kein Tropfen, in die Hose geht der letzte Tropfen.“ Meaning “It doesn’t help to shake or knock, the pants will catch the final drop”.

            And any guy with half a brainstem has figured out how to find the right angle to not back spray themselves

            I’ve seen enough public restrooms to know that it’s not enough guys.

            Good luck getting guys to sit on the toilet to pee.

            That’s easy. Stop telling young boys it’s “unmanly” to sit down.

            I find urinals to be disgusting, and your excuses won’t change that.

              All the anti-perspirant in the world won’t prevent some amount of sweat getting into someone’s shirt, is there really that much of a difference for an article of clothing worn for a day at most?

              Like, do you think everyone with a penis should wipe their tip after every piss?

                Apparently, because that miniscule amount of wee that might get on the inside of one’s shorts is that nastiest, worse than the poo particles that get trapped in the same region when someone farts.
