Title: Should Men Sit while(ugh hum) urinating. Comments?
Post by athos12 on Aug 19^th, 2003, 11:35pm

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.

WOMEN! How to urinate standing up

http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=How%20to%20urinate%20standing%20up

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.

Just waiting for the flames on this one...

"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.

Emily writes: I am 24 years old and single. Since I first started wearing jeans (my favourite garment!) I have worked on overcoming a woman’s problem, namely how to pee without having to pull your pants down and squat. I also developed a method which enables me to pee through the open zip of my jeans as conveniently as a man. It comes down to a strong start and a rapid shut-off finish (i.e. no dribbling). My technique is simple. At first I pinch myself shut until the pressure builds up, then as the stream starts to die, I push to keep maximum flow, then I can stop it fairly suddenly. From the age of 16 I have had this down to a fine art, never leaving more than the odd spot on my clothes

Maybe we should install vending machines for these in Sweden so that the women feel that they have equal access.

Quote:

TravelMate™ non-invasive urinary devices enable females to pee through the fly of their clothes while standing, or by attaching our medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer tubing and collection bag, answer the call of nature while seated in a car, boat, or small aircraft.

Each 1-inch x 6-inch soft plastic TravelMate is environmentally responsible— meaning that it can be washed and reused hundreds of times. Furthermore, in most cases the TravelMate wipes off residual urine (no need for toilet paper) making the product ideal to bring along when well-maintained restrooms are scarce.

When God was creating the human race, he lined up all the males on one side and all the females opposite them. Then God asked, "Which of your species would like to urinate standing up?"
Well, the males went crazy, screaming and shouting that they wanted to pee standing up.

"Fine," replied God. "Then THEY (women) get the multiple orgasms."

What KILLS me about this debate is the fact that the original article somehow tries to say that men are expressing their domination or superiority over women by standing up to pee. What a load of crap (no pun intended). Fucking ridiculous. I mean, I'm all for equal rights, but this is complete nonsense. Now I'm supposed to feel guilty because I can stand while I pee? Gawd.

The argument was also stating that men should not because women could not....

Now, conversely, just because I can not breast feed does not mean I want to. If the original argument is to stand then nothing that either sex can do that the opposite sex can't, then that act or ability should be abolished!!! So men you would not have to worry about not being able to apply your make-up while driving, because it will be abolished... Women you also have no more worries about know what every single button does on the remote control.

We will become a bland vanilla society if it kills us.. There will be no differences in the sexes.. we will all be equal in every way and we WILL LIKE IT!

Equal rights for men and women....

Enequality factors - Men
1- Balls/Testicles/Nuts/Family Jewels
Many women claim to have balls, but that is just not the case.

Solution - In the spirit of equality there is a solution. www.neuticles.com. There are testicle replacement options for various members of the animal kingdom, why not prosthetic attachments for women as well... These neuticles were invented so that you neutered dog/cat/horse or bull could still LOOK that part and therefore not be the laughing stock of the barnyard. They range in size and drop length, from petitte, xxsmall to XXLarge & custom sizes. Prices start from $33(petitte and xxsmall) to $700(custom balls)

Then truly the AC/DC song I've got big ballswill ring true
"(chorus)
oh, I've got big balls
I've got big balls
and they're such big balls
dirty big balls
and he's got big balls
and she's got big balls
but we've got the biggest balls of them all"

2 - Male brains are 11-12% heavier and about 2% larger.

Solution - labotomy, or marrige.. Once married the male brain shrinks propotionate to the amount of time married... this is an adaptive evolutionary equality measure.

3 - The preoptic area in the male Hypothalamus is 2.2 times larger than in women.. This area regulates many mating behaviors, and may also be responsible for beer consuption.

Solution
Manditory viewing of Ricky Lake and Dr. Phil.

Enequality factors Women
1. Complex multithreaded multitasking abilities.

The corpus callosum is bigger and more developed in women than in men, its function of transferal of information between the two hemispheres. studies that show that the female corpus callosum can process multiple tasks better than a male counterpart. This corpus callosum is the portion of the brain that connects the right side to the left side.

Solution
Mega does of Thorazine - anti psychotic drug. Used in the treatment of disorganized and psychotic thinking. Also used to help treat false perceptions (e.g. hallucinations or delusions.)

2. Breasts
Men don't have these wonderful accoutrements. Is that fair? Course I have heard it said that if men had their own, no work would ever get done, they would never leave their house. They would have their own personal entertainment center.

Solution
Implants/falsies etc... This would solve many problems... Men could indulged themselves more frequently and save money on strippers. And aslo relate more with women on issues of breast care and management. Men could also understand how women feel at having their breasts stared at, maybe not oogled, but at the least stared at.

Economic factors of complete equality

Pickle companies will go out of business. This will be due to the fact that men are the only ones able to open the pickle bottles, and that is not equality. That shows that men are physically superior.

If pickles are out, that rate of pregnancy related late nite snacking will decrease.. That will leave raise to men getting more sleep... However, that is also unfair and unequal...

Arts & Craft Stores/Fabric stores will have to include sections and products that would appeal to the man. Rows and rows of bolted fabric or stenciled papers and stickers have no intrinsic meaning for men. "dear wouldn’t this fabric make lovely curtains" holds no point of reference for a man. Men could care less if they have curtains let alone trying to picture a certain fabrice sewn and hanging on their walls.

Fabric stores must have lingerie sections. This would foster creative thinking... A man could then visualize different types of fabric being used with a particular pattern, remember men are good spatial thinkers if they are motivated.

Network TV and cable programs would have to carry equal coverage and prime time airings of football and "Oprah".

New shows would have to put in the line up "In the Kitchen with Richard Gere", and most important, "How to marry a Porn Star",

How much equality is equal?
