I think its innapropriate for males to have to show there parts to everyone else. Its downright idiotic and dumb. Men can just stand up over a normal toilet, its indecent, i doubt any people could have the opposite arguement with an actual reason, but ill stay to listen just in case
Fact is, have you seen the result of a man trying to pee sitting down? It's a mess ladies, and no one wants to wipe that mess off of the bottom of the toilet seat. Trust me, it really is better for both of us. Removing urinals would be counter-productive.
Just because this is such a ridiculous question/idea, I recommended building toughs instead of urinals to save space and materials.
In some countries, including China, Indonesia, and Thailand, they don't have urinals, or even modern toilets. They have have a hole that is intended for fecal matter instead. Down with modernization!

A lot of guys get stage fright at the urinals, they go all tense and struggle to pee. And quite frankly I have never understood why we are forced to have an audience. If men are so comfortable with urinals then maybe we should do away with the cubicles as well. Just have a row of toilets so we can chat while we poop! Vote for privacy, vote for self respect and ban the urinals.
Everytime I use on of these urinals all the guys around me try and take a look. This is likely because I have a 9 incher but I digress. They are just plain awkward to whip it out around other guys with hardly any privacy since anybody can just look. Replace them with full toliets so gay guys stop taking passes at me trying to get their hands on my big meat rod. Its such a hassle
Just like a big sporting event. You can piss in the sink and then wash your hands. Save time. I have been to many sporting events where this is common. On the upper floor you should be able to just walk out on the roof to take a leak. Yea.
Banning them would be cool. They degrade men, We have no privacy or dignity standing there in public. It's 2019, Let us think progressively and treat public bathrooms like our home ones. Women don't have to parade their private parts next to each other. Gender neutral cubicles are the way forward.
If it was about ease then why wouldn't they just put a trough in the women's room and let them all go to town? That would cut down on these half to an hour wait times! I hate the splash back(from you and other patrons) and the sheer openness is off-putting. I understand they save water and are easier to install, But they would NEVER expect women to use these for the sake of water conservation and cost efficiency. I don't think they should be banned because it would be a pain in the ass to remove all of them, Just pointing out the double standard.
I've always had issues with these things. I don't even use the word. I find them vulgar, Disgusting, And stupid. They would never expect women to use these thing regardless of time or eco concerns. Hell, Women pee on the seat more than men do. These things just enable boorish and idiotic behavior(piss in the toilet ya jag! ). I find society VERY phallic obsessed and closeted homosexual, And these contraptions are my go to example. I have absolutely ZERO problems with homosexuality, I just don't like penises being so open. I've also caught too many guys looking at my thing the VERY FEW times I've used these.
Urinals are not needed. If they are going to exist then they should be put inside stalls like toilets. You close the door at a friend's house when peeing for privacy, Should be the same in public around people you don't know. Men should have privacy just like women. Ban them.
Why would you ban urinals?
They are a simpler way for men to urinate. Women can't do it, but so what? That's like saying, animals can't eat in posh restaurants so those places should be banned. It just doesn't make sense. And some urinals have board-type things between them so that men can't see each other's parts
Why must this embarrassing discussion go on? Men with male parts use the male restroom the most. Why are we inconveniencing the majority for. 2% of the population? This pointless discussion is not only unproductive but a waste of time. Urinals are easier to clean and more accessible, Getting rid of them would only cause more work for others.
There seem to be two main arguments presented here, Both daft.
1. A FEW men are terrified another man might inappropriately see a glimpse of his genitals. Let me assure these few men that it's unlikely they have anything worth showing off, And that very few men are interested in looking anyway. It isn't as if you're dancing about the room naked, There really isn't much for anyone to see. And so what it someone does get a glimpse? It doesn't hurt you or cost you any money. If this is a problem for you, How do you ever cope with situations like a gym or pool changing room? You know, A place where it's normal for there to be men without any clothes on. Do you run away screaming in horror? Anyway, Everywhere that has urinals also has toilets, So you don't have to use a urinal if you don't want to, So why do you want to inconvenience the vast majority because of your bizarre insecurities?
2. Vague arguments from gender equality and feminism. These usually say that because some people can't easily use urinals, It would be fairer not to allow anyone to use them. I hope we can all see this is a stupid idea, And one I think often actually comes from jealousy, But they don't dare say that. Even if you agree with this argument, Artificially inconveniencing one group doesn't do anything to improve the experience for anyone else, And might make it worse for everyone. There are urinal designs that can be used by women, But it seems most women don't like the idea. That's fine, But perhaps if women want to improve their toilet experience, They should try to get over this fear and ask for them to be installed.
Urinals are quicker and easier for most men to use. They use less water than a toilet, And take up less space, Meaning more can be fitted in and so in crowded environments men don't have to wait for as long. It's true the area around urinals isn't always the cleanest, But that's a problem with the cleaning policy of the establishment, And I promise the toilets in the same establishment will be even less clean, Making a urinal the nicer option. I do think the space allocated to male and female facilities should take into consideration the differences between the user groups. However, The current fashion for mixed gender toilet facilities with no urinals anywhere isn't a step forward. There isn't usually more space in total allocated to the facilities, And so this simply means longer waits for men and women.
There is no reason to ban urinals because of privacy. The fact of the matter is that some men want to save time by using urinals. They don't want to touch everything someone else in that bathroom har touched. It is more sanitary, Saves time and cost. If you do not wish to use urinals, Then don't use them. No one is forcing you to, Just use the stalls.
Most women know and utter the refrain to their male counterparts, , , , PLEASE, PUT DOWN THE SEAT. Men will pee on the seat rims, And it will be a nightmare for those who pee sitting down,
PS. As men get older their aim and stream gets weaker. . . It will suck to be a woman in these urinal less john's
I don't think urinals should be banned because they are optional. If a guy doesn't like using urinals, He can choose to use a toilet instead, However urinals are more sanitary. As a guy, I think that privacy issues would be much better solved by building dividers, Rather than spending much more money on several new toilets and stalls.
Out of all the things to tackle with $195 million dollars bathrooms should be one of the last things on the list if even on there. Maybe the mental health or homeless issue would be something to put the money towards. There are plenty of more important issues than bathrooms that should come first.
I am sorry but this is ridiculous. Men do not need to squat to pee so why should you not have urinals. Also, Urinals use a lot less water than stalls. Once again a liberal politician trying to get re-elected by pandering to degenerate transgenders. Sex and gender are not separate.
The cost is outrageous, And the water consumption will go sky high.
I have seen urinals that required no water and there was no smell.
Contact Callaway Gardens in GA as their public units have urinals that require no water. I am a male and grew up on farms, Country schools and on the farm the men used a tree and the schools all had urinals in the bathrooms for young men.
Who wants a man peeing in a woman's toilet? ! Their aim isn't always the best, So I, As a woman will have to clean what they dripped! This is so assinine! God made us men and women. Thank God, Someone invented urinals! Portland is getting crazier and crazier! Good luck!
