I am a student at the University of Oregon, and I live in an older residence hall. The second-floor women’s restroom has two women’s urinals. The other women’s floor doesn’t though… I wonder why.
You’re sure they’re not bidets?
ETA: Apparently not. Didn’t realize it was a reference to one of the columns. Here’s the link.
Somewhere out on the interwebs are instructions for women on using urinals, even thru the fly of your jeans. I read it years ago, and haven’t found it again.
At universities, housing gets shuffled around sometimes, and men’s floors become women’s floors. This happened at the U. of Evansville for a couple of years while the new women’s dorm was being built. The urinals were the subject of jokes and confusion.
The closest men’s room to my office, in the engineering building, has a women’s urinal in it. From context, it’s pretty clear that it’s a urinal, but I wouldn’t have known why it’s the funny shape it is without the Straight Dope and similar websites.
A picture of a women’s urinal. Odd that is it is at another university; bastions of progressivism, I suppose.
My Og, is that a cup holder? Why don’t men’s urinals have cup holders?
