Male toilets are always much more filthier than female toilets. If I was a female I’d be pretty pissed if they forced me to use a urinal for men.

Go to bathrooms in airports, conference centers at hotels, or higher end restaurants and you might notice a pattern. They are clean, smells of detergent, and has this piece of paper usually next to the door with a time stamp.

Bathrooms are clean if you clean them. It is also more hygienic and gives a better impression of the place. Saving money by gendered bathrooms and only cleaning the bathroom once a week belong in the same gender discrimination category as other cost-saving tactics that involve gender.

I spent years working in nightclubs, and visiting them too, and this was never the case.

Hover-pee is a really common thing for women, and the results are what you imagine bthey would be.

Forcing women to use urinals is very much not a thing that happens.
By toilets I mean the room itself, not the appliance.

This is what I was replying to. Bit of a confusing way to say “enter a room containing a urinal” if that’s what you actually meant.

I don’t know why you’re downvoted. In the UK toilet means the room, not just the thing you sit on. It’s a perfectly fine clarification to make.

(I cringe every time someone uses the euphemism 'bathroom' to mean toilet. Like, we all know you are not going to take a bath in a pub after two pints right?)

Oh, you mean the rest room.

Where people go to rest.

Or the wash room.

Where they go to, erm, wash.

Not native. But anyway I disagree that women squat pee. They usually sit to pee here. While men don’t so all the toilet (the appliance) and the ground are full of pee. Result: the whole room stinks of pee.
