This subject concerns males only.
Urinals in public toilets have caused problems because of their placement on toilet walls. Usually there are two or more urinals installed at the same level on the wall. The assumption is that all males are the same height. Not true.
Men and boys are different heights. Boys and shorter men are forced to use the toilet bowls. I contend that this is discrimination against shorter men and boys.
Since there are laws about everything else, the government should enact a law to require placing urinals at various heights.
After all, we need to provide for the health, welfare and comfort of all people . . . even short people.
