Should Men Sit while(ugh hum) urinating. Comments?

Actual US News & World reports mini - article....
Male urination habits were brought up in a late night discussion by several women in my life, and puctuated by this artice. I thought I would get your thoughts on the matter... This has nothing to do with CH, but it is worth a chuckle.
Quote:Now sit, Ingvar, sit. Young women in Sweden, Germany, and Australia have a new cause: They want men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from concerns about hygiene--avoiding the splash factor--but, as Jasper Gerard reports in the English Spectator, "more crucially because a man standing up to urinate is deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading women."
One argument is that if women can't do it, then men shouldn't either. Another is that standing upright while relieving oneself is "a nasty macho gesture," suggestive of male violence. A feminist group at Stockholm University is campaigning to ban all urinals from campus, and one Swedish elementary school has already removed them.
In Australia, an Internet survey shows that 17 percent of those polled think men ought to sit, while 70 percent believe they should be allowed to stand. Some Swedish women are pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year-old Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on standing. "What else can I do?" said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits. |

P.S. Could this just be a symptom of not wanting to do the dishes?

What wimmin think I should go through to put down the friggin seat. The problem is; if you give old farts a chance, they'll make it just as much a project as defecation and start another Russian novel.
Sorry girls; there's no way to win.

True story here!!
My wife is Chinese. I went to China to marry her and we stayed at a 5 Star hotel. In China, 99% of toilets are just a hole in the floor, but in our Hotel, it was a standard western style toilet. On our 1st night there, I woke up in the middle of the night needing to pee. Did my thing, always raising the lid as i was raised with 2 sisters in the house. The next morning i wake, I do my morning ritual of coffee, and then go to take my Shower. I notice there is piss all over the toilet seat. Gawd, I am so embarrassed. I immediately wipe it down so as my wife doesnt see it. Whew, i am thinking i must have been really sleepy last night when i pissed. Anyways, The next night, Exactly the same, and exactly the same the next morning, Hmmmmmm, I am thinking. Surely my wife isnt peeing on the toilet seat....LMFAO! That night we are going out to a party, and i see my wife go into the bathroom, and so i ready myself. I hear her tinkle, tinkle, tinkle and i rush the bathroom to observe. Sure enough, there she is doing an army squat over the toilet seat. LMFAO, If she only knew how bad i wanted to chastise her for all the abuse i took as a kid from my 2 sisters. I just smiled and told her my story and we laughed. Seems she didnt trust the seat, so she refused to sit on it....LOL!

Must be nice to live in a country where a debate like this is considered a problem. If you ask me, these ladies have waaayyy tooo much time on their hands. I mean, WTF? If a guy raises the lid and has a good aim I do not see what the problem is? Did anyone ever think that this is just the natual way for men to go? Ever seen a male dog relive himself?
I gotta tell ya, macho or not I will not squat. A man has to "stand up" for his rights every now and then. I am not going to take this "sitting" down.

Hey, in our household we reached a truce on the seat saga. We put the entire lid down. I figure that if I have to raise & put down the seat, then my wife should have to raise and put down the lid. Solved the problem.
Take care

I'll admit I am a lill tired of gettin a wet seat usein porta potties all summer goin ta music and event parties and festivals and campin......geeze there's a urinal in em and guys still stand and try and piss thru the hole in the seat soakin sprayin all over. (do they do that kinda like how male cats spray on stuff I wonder....neuter'n will fix that ya know ?) At nite in a dark porta pot it's not exactly adviseable ta reach around tryin ta clean off the seat too well. This past weekend at the blues fest people were usein them ta smoke pot 'n piss....and of course spray all over the seat ......I gotta contact buzz tryin ta clean the seats off when it was still daylight. Sheeewwww........luckily by dark they jus smoked behind em not in em ta hide. Pam that got tired of male hormones on her seat

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but sitting down is only going to work at certain times of the day ... when I get up in the morning there is No F'ing way I could sit and do my bidness without breaking my favorite "bone" in my body, if you get my drift. 
Obviously those svedish dames haven't had any male babies as yet, or they'd know of that peculiar male phenomenon.

WOMEN! How to urinate standing up
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=How%20to%20urinate%20standing%2 0up
Quote:Tired of having to hover six inches above a urine-spotted toilet seat in order to pee? Sick of having to squat behind bushes to urinate when hiking? Desperate to win a pissing contest with an obnoxious, I-can-write-my-name-in-the-snow, male? Suffer no longer!
It may sound like a joke commercial for a fake product, but like most things, if you can imagine it, someone else has probably already put it into a brightly colored box and marketed it. Thus, we have the Whizzy and the TravelMate.
The delightfully-named Whizzy is simplicity itself; perhaps it is even suspiciously simple. Inventor Janis Wagner describes it as a folded piece of manila paper which is held between the legs and unfolded so that it forms a trough. A hole in the paper allows the whole thing to act as a funnel, enabling users to aim their stream and achieve a trajectory of up to eight inches, which ought to be more than enough for most yellow snow calligraphy....
The TravelMate consists of a six-inch long plastic tube with a trough at one end which 'conforms to the female anatomy' and a rectangular hole at the other end, designed to prevent trickle-back. Where it does definitely score over the penis is in the accessories department: there is an additional length of rubber hose which can be attached to lengthen the reach of the device, plus a choice of denim or tapestry custom carry pouches lined with 'water'-resistant nylon, featuring easy-access velcro compartments and a belt loop.
As if that wasn't enough, the web site claims that TravelMate can even eliminate the need for toilet-paper. "After use, most women find they can pull the TravelMate forward - the cradle tip 'wipes' off residual urine". Then I suppose they just shake off the drips and slip it back into its handy belt-mounted tapestry holster.

"Aiming takes practice. When a little boy starts urinating in a standing position, be prepared to wipe up (and/or have him wipe up) around the toilet.
• Show the boy how to point his penis down to avoid spraying the room whether by sitting down or standing up. (If a little girl wants to urinate standing up, explain it doesn’t work but let her try anyway if she wants to.)
• Teach the boy to aim accurately by having him "sink the battleship." Float the corner of the envelope or a piece of toilet paper in the toilet and have him aim at it. (Cheerios, we hear, are also popular for target practice!) "

I generally sit when at home. I don't have to be concerned with the wife bitching because I pissed on the seat or the floor (that way my kids can be blamed for it). And if it is an especially long piss, have time to read my MaximumPC or Newsweek magazine which cannot be done standing up.
