    You know what, aren’t American stalls notorious for giant gaps in them? Maybe if they fixed that and had better stalls things like this may smooth over better. Unless that stereotype of American bathrooms is outdated or not actually the norm

      Yes they are and I hate it.

      Worse, my high school had no doors on the bathroom stalls at all (at least in the boys’ room). I’m guessing it was some sort of “we don’t want to catch you masturbating” sort of thing but I would almost always just hold any shitting I had to do in unless I was in drama class because the auditorium had bathrooms with doors.

      It varies, sometimes you find places that are designed better than others. I can only assume the two reasons are cost (less material) and easier to mass clean. Not designed for the users.

      Anyone being abused in any way in a bathroom by anyone is a crime and should be reported and prosecuted. What you’ll find is not what Republicans are trying to sell to get votes. It even falls under the projection label, so the ones calling for action should probably be watched closer for their own actions towards other people.
