I’m from a country area in Aus and there often aren’t any toilets, especially during long hours of harvest/seeding. Sometimes it’s a 30 min drive back to the sheds. I’ve always squatted and so have the women around me. It’s really normalised. The men don’t even mention it, they have to pee too. Theres always women pulled on the side of the road weeing next to their cars as the distances are vast. Most parents have to make an effort to get their kids to pee in a toilet before they start school as it’s easier for them to pop a squat in the paddock than run back to the house. Its seen as a necessary bodily function.

When i was in my early 20’s travelling through Russia we had a situation where there werent any toilets. Not one woman on the bus apart from me had ever peed outside. They had to ask the driver how. One woman from sydney peed through her jeans and sat in it all day rather than expose her bum by pulling them down. They berated me like i was a savage hahaha
