I have a long screed that I’ve repeated many times to friends about why I love that urinals still exist, but I’m too depressed to write it atm. Maybe I’ll come back to this in the morning

Northernlions bit about how urinals are actually sexism resonated with me: they are a single sex infrastructure, and men deserve the seated toilets just as women do!

Damn, I didn't know Romans did that.
FWIW, I'm in China
So I frequent 2 bars, next to each other in the same building. Basically cookie cutters of each other, one has a unisex bathroom with 4 stalls and one has gendered bathrooms, bathroom 1 with 3 urinals and 1 stall, bathroom 2 with 2 stalls.
I've not had issues with either the unisex or the gendered bathrooms, but the line is simply noticably longer for the unisex bathroom. In a densely populated situation where people are drinking a lot of beer and space is a premium, fitting 4 people peeing at the same time on a Saturday night vs 3 in urinals + 1 (in men's) and 2 (in women's) decongests the whole process by a lot.
Do the urinals have little wall separators so you don't have to look at each others pee pees?
Yes and no. There are wood separators but they're also not very tall so if you're like 170+cm you could look at peepees. Average Chinese height, no.

I don't want to get piss on the toilet seat.
we should teach people without piss hoses to use urinals. it would save a lot of time at events, once covid is adequately addressed
just catheterize everyone on the way in
Idk why they exist but they are total bullshit
If there aren't too many people around I'd rather pee in plain sight than touch filthy door handles and flush. Take me to the gulag
