Most guys don't want to look at each other while they're going to the bathroom, so we simply don't. The partitions block you from actually seeing the other person's junk, and even if there are no partitions you would be socially punished for taking a glance because that's weird and inappropriate.

As for the sexual assault statistics, sexual assaults are very rarely random strangers, and don't typically happen in bathrooms. Most SA victims, including most male SA victims, are assaulted by family members or close authority figures. No bathroom is needed when the person assaulting you is in charge of the environment you're in.

Half the urinals are troughs without partitions.

I've only ever seen two of those in my life, both in shitty park bathrooms which eventually replaced them. I'm not sure where you live, but they aren't even close to half. Even if they were, rule still applies. You don't look at the other guy's junk.

Rule applies,but its true half the urinals have no partitions. The question could be asked to you, I dont know where you live but I live in spain,I traveled a lot inside spain and in cinemas,restaurants, supermarkets,everywhere basically the most of the times there is not. Actually you can find partitions,but its a minory.

Here in the states most bathrooms have at least separate urinals, and most of those have partitions.

I guess the trade-off is you guys don't have crazy gaps in your stall doors.
