intimidation

Women-folk may not understand the following. Public restroom etiquette differs for different types of people. An interesting trend that I've noticed has to deal with persons that are large in stature- large in the girth about their middle or the breadth across their shoulders, but either of these factors seem to change the etiquette of these persons possessing the afore mentioned qualities.

In my opinion, resting an arm on the dividers between urinals is crossing a boundary that is established early in life. Whatever it is these men seem to relax and feel content when their elbow is hanging across the divider into the adjoining urinal's space. Women-folk may not have recently seen a men-folk's restroom, but there isn't much space about a urinal. An elbow hanging across the divider crosses all sorts of personal boundaries. Maybe these men-folk types try to spread their power and dominion in this fashion. They can have the public restroom. As for my occasional visits to their public restroom domains, I'll try to use the urinal as far away from them as possible.
