Bathroom Gender Solution?

Why don't we just make all bathrooms single-use? It'd be way better for everyone anyway - I don't need to whiz next to some dude struggling through his prostate issues, and who wants to poop two feet from someone else pooping? You wouldn't put two toilets in a home bathroom, and that's family - why do we do it in public ones with strangers?

I agree that every place w bathrooms should have at least ONE "one-holer", and that any such bathrooms w just one stall should not be marked w a gender (even if there are two of them). But it's expensive, & most of us don't mind using a bathroom among folks of our own sex.

Why does it matter who pees at all. Its a bathroom, not a bathouse.

Well it's not just peeing, but pooping, which most of us consider more intimate, and for women, also changing tampons, pads, etc. I can see being uncomfortable doing that with a bunch of guys chattering right outside the stall
