There's a brilliant book called Invisible women by Caroline Criado Perez which explains the unfortunately many similar examples (including this toilet one) on how the world is designed for men with no regards to women. It's really eye-opening how many things we take for granted in the world are simply not built for us...
Seconding Cristina’s comment. I studied with Caroline at LSE, and she is a force. The history of women’s public toilets is a fascinating aspect of suffrage.
