    I think American stalls are designed that way specifically to make them less private in the hopes it will keep people from boning or doing drugs in them. Just another facet of American life made worse with puritanical/punitive culture.

      You’d think after a lifetime of not actually working in that regard we’d just use a normal fucking door. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Also, FunFact: if you enter a bathroom in the US and the lighting is really blue: that literally is to stop drug use. Veins are blue, and if the lighting is blue you can’t see them well enough to shoot up.

      Oh it’s not just that, though that is perhaps part of it and is often the excuse. I think it goes deeper and way more psycho-sexual than that.

      I’m from Europe and I always assumed that America does that, because it’s the cheapest option by far.

        That’s not the point. If someone is gonna fuck or shoot up in the bathroom they’re going to. The little perv gap we have isn’t gonna change that.

        Puritan ideas themselves aren’t really about helping people to be more “pure”. They’re about subjugation, control, and maintaining a patriarchal structure.
