Based on experience, I don’t think that’s an idea most French men can get their head around.
Also, f the gender bias - if I were there, I’d bring my little folding step stool, climb on up and pop a squat
I’ve seen women do just that. Particularly brave was the lass who strolled into the urinal on her own and proceeded to have a piss in front of about five or six guys. Some of whom were deeply embarrassed and basically ran as soon as they could. Me and her just had a chat though.
As other have said, we all piss several times a day, it’s entirely normal. If you spend time around small children you get to see more than the average public loo.
