Why is there often a queue for the women’s bathroom and not for the men’s?

I am incredibly grateful that urinals exist, public bathrooms (and the queues for them) would be much worse without them.
Sure, they’re relatively unhygienic but you aren’t actually touching anything yourself. Not to mention men standing while pissing in stalls is… just as bad. You have to flush with normal toilets too so I don’t really see how they waste more water. Plenty of people don’t really care thaaat much about privacy when at a urinal (beyond a privacy screen) and those that do can still enjoy the gender neutral stalls.
The benefit comes from throughput. You can put way more urinals in the same amount of space as a couple stalls would use. And if the men go to the urinals to piss then that frees up more gender neutral stalls for everyone else. It’s just better to have urinals than not to have them at almost any public facility unless you only have room for a single stall or two.
No benefit to…?
There’s a lot of benefit had from urinals for literally everyone involved. Maybe something like a urinal area and a stall area? Would sorta self load balance. Could see that being unsafer for women during low usage though.
Lmao ok sure
