This is changing! More and more places in the western US are going to euro-style stalls, or fully gender neutral bathrooms that are entirely walled in. Much, much better. I can't speak for the other parts of the US.

I was fascinated by glass stalls in Greece. I've never seen those before (opaque glass, but still, you could make out shapes). Lots of glass in general, such as highway soundproof barriers, balconies, etc. Much more so than I'm used to seeing. We tend to use a lot more metal or sculpted concrete.
