Pretty obvious i thought. I don't want women looking at me while i take a pee in a trough, and i am sure they don't want to see me do it either.

I guess people aren't happy if they can't segregate something. I'll elaborate on my answer later when I research it more, or think of something better to say. :)

This is a perfectly legitimate question, and I have no idea why it was rated down so far. Obviously, our distant ancestors didn't have the women's room and the men's room, anymore than primates do. At some point, humans developed the idea (mostly socialized) that going to the bathroom was a private act. We also developed the social idea of modesty of body between the genders (specifically having to do with the genitals). I think these formed together and developed further as society found more and more ways to keep going to the bathroom a private act, and certainly not something shared with the opposite gender (especially strangers).

I think it's a conspiricy, set up by men, to make us wait in long lines just to pee!

Would you really want to walk into a room with a load of men standing urinating. To be quite honest I would not draw a lot of pleasure from the situation. Maybe the two came about because Victorian ladies did not find the idea of rows of naked urinating penis much to add to an evenings entertainment. I know I would not

It is a leftover from victorian ideals. Women are supposed to be patient and proper - your not really even supposed to have a bathroom - your suppossed to hold it. Men - even the gentlemen - have the right to go before a duel. Lets face it - you can appear lady like even while desperate - even while pissing your pants (or undergarments and diapers as the ladies wore so as to not be disrespectful) but a man doesn't look manly desperate for a pee. I for one am for combining them - men would have to learn to lift the lid - but eventually it would work. Really it would lead to a more modern and efficient society. I think its sexy when women pee and even when they go #2 myself (proper ventilation helps). I don't really have a problem with a women watching me take a leak either - once in the adult world a stall is good enough anyway. There is no good reason for the seperation - only perverted reasons.

beacuse boys pee on the seat.

I'm going for the literal approach on this one: Guys can go standing up: Urinal = Guy's toilet. Otherwise, I think the other answers cover girls vs boys BATHROOMS pretty well.

Basically so girls and boys won't make more little girls and boys.......
-
because they have separate bathrooms

You have never been inside the boys restroom? if not, you have to be the first in nation. Toilets are toilets and fit the buttocks of both men and women. Men have standup urinals. Don't know why....... Ask you dad.
-
Have you ever accidentally entered the mens room? Men can be slobs and urinate all over the place. If they shoot guns like they urinate, we are all doomed.

Does anyone remember the show "Ally McBeal"? I believe they had the universal or CoED bathroom and it made for some really interesting conversation. If you just take out the urinals and make em all stalls then I could see it happening. Sure would have to be alot of courtesy flushes though.

I guess if women's bathrooms had urinals, I would want them seperate. Given the number of outdoor fesitvals, events, hunting excursions, etc. I have gone on, I have learned to pee standing up (and not all over myself either). A simple pullup of the labia points the stream in a nice arc - invaluable when there are no facilities, or facilities that are so messy I wouldn't let my dog use them. Now that I prefer peeing standing up, I would think that guys would also appreciate individual stalls. And in that case, co-ed would be great. It would even out the lines that are really imballanced. But I think that the guys just figure that then they would have to wait in line also, and don't want to go along with that.
