That urinal is awsome. Thanks for the post. As long as they are also in the Women's restrooms its not sexist or discriminatory, thats the law in the US, don't know about Austria. Although it would need to be mounted lower to accomodate the disabled.

Am I missing something? Are there urinals in Women's bathrooms here?

How could anything like this make someone so upset? Distasteful, maybe but, "misogynistic and offensive"??? These people need to get a hobby and stop over exaggerating such things.

I actually would love to walk in to a bar or a club, and see those in the restroom would crack me up

Urinals in Women's restrooms are called "Sheinals", they are rarely installed as women find them difficult to use and are usually "grossed out".

Why do the women care? It's not like they are going to be regularly watching men piss into fake mouths.

LMFAO I never knew that, of course I dont spend a whole lot of time in women's restrooms.

I was also thinking though, in this day and age, with new found liberties and rights, couldnt it be argued that the urinal was fashioned after a transvestite male's lips thereby negating the mysogynistic and offensive nature of the piece towards women?

^Yeah, then the transvestites would go "How dare you model urinals after our lips?".
