If I try to squat, I fall over backwards before I can get low enough. There were enough Western-style toilets for me to manage. (All BYO toilet paper, but then, so were the squats.)
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Studies have shown that women's bathrooms are, on average, MUCH dirtier than men's.
I'll take your word on the statistics, but from my personal experience that would have to mean that women's restrooms actually use feces as a construction material and just hollow out depressions in piles of it for patrons' use.

I found them very easy to use, and I'm hardly the most graceful or flexible person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Once again I must advocate for squat toilets. Seriously--given the choice between sitting on a public toilet seat and squatting over a hole in the floor, I'd take the latter any day.
I think they're easy enough for me to use, but when people miss (and, lo, they did) it's so much worse.
Actually, worst was someone who'd evidently come from a long tradition of squat toilets, and was faced with a strange "conventional" one. Dump missed the bowl entirely, and just sat there on the seat.
HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE????

The irony is that this is probabally because said malefactor is trying to avoid any contact with the seat, but won't clean up his own mess.

To look at, yes, but since using a squat toilet doesn't involve touching anything, they're much more sanitary. (Unless, like me, you can't use them without falling over backwards, in which case they're narsty and a little bit dangerous.)

Some, yeah, but that doesn't account for the feminine hygiene folk art.
