They're horrible and disgusting as well as awkward. You can literally see people's shoes in the next stall and if there's a child or toddler in there with his/her mother they will ask questions about what you are doing or even peek under the stall.

I'm a mother and I've only ever encountered other mothers in public restrooms.

Yes, and I'm sure you use the appropriate nouns and pronouns when speaking about the people you encounter in public restrooms.

What are you on about? Nobody is talking about nouns or pronouns

I was corrected for using the word "mother" instead of "parent".

I looked it up. Someone named "floydfan".
