If I am positioned at a large cargo crate, I can use it for cover and fire by peaking above or around it. Does the crate also provide the same cover to my enemies while they are running around exposed on the other side of the crate? Likewise with improved-cover situations: If I am positioned at the example "gun port in a defensive wall," do both sides receive the same cover?
Intuitively I'd think most people would say only I should receive cover in both scenarios, but I'm not sure how to interpret the rules in a way that would make that the case.

You draw a line from one of your corners to all of their corners. Assuming this large crate has an open corner (ie doesn’t fill a 5’ cube) then none of your lines pass through cover. No cover affecting your attacks.
Conversely, when the enemy draws lines to your corners, she does have that open one that you used but some of the other corners are blocked by the crate. You benefit from cover while she attacks you.
Cover is not always mutual.
