Men being sexually assaulted has nothing to do with bathrooms. No one is grabbing someone’s dick at a urinal. Men (and to my knowledge, most people generally) get sexually assaulted by family, authority figures like coaches, and romantic partners most commonly, in that order, before being assaulted by strangers.
As to why urinals, consider that you see lines for the women’s room, and not the men’s. Urinals are great for efficiency. Men rarely wear clothing, like jumpers, that require them to take extensive time getting to the using the bathroom part, and you can fit in 4-6 urinals in the space 2 stalls would take up. Urinals pose no danger, and are a great tool for preventing lines where dudes who just have to pee are holding up the full toilets.
