I honestly don't know where all of this comes from, maybe it's an American thing or maybe younger generations are more self conscious or something. From my experience most men a mature enough to not be weird and only use the second next urinal to be politely respectful. If I need to piss I'll go shoulder to shoulder with blokes at the pub in the piss trough.

This is the thing; you can give a person right beside you all the privacy in the world by just not looking!

The only time it is normal to stand 50cm from a wall and staring right at the same spot for a minute

Lol, just so happens I am a woman. We can be taught! I actually used to work somewhere that had only one bathroom consisting of a single stall and a urinal. Sometimes I would come out of the stall to a guy at the urinal beside the sink (with a gap). Most people I talk to seemed horrified by the idea, but I kept my eyes averted, the guys stayed discrete, and no one was inappropriate so it was a non-issue.

anyways, genuinely, what possible way could this comment mean anything good which isn't stupid or misogynistic.
