Here's what John Leo had to say about them in a column at townhall.com:awip2062 wrote:And you would know, Elf!ElfDude wrote:Now THIS is first class thread hijacking!!!Soup4Rush wrote:The guy is a scumbag and I liked all the things you said you wrote in response.
EXCEPT, The peeing behind the dumpster. Outdoor plumbing is one of the best perks of being a man..I pee outside all the time. I can even write my name in the snow...
So has anyone heard about the women who think all men should sit to pee. They even call for the removal of urinals in mens' rooms!
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 magazine The 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.
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Hello? Reality?
A man is made differently than I am. Is his using his body as it is designed degrading to me? GIMME A BREAK! Should he have to behave as if he is a woman? I want a MAN as my husband, not a woman. Suggestive of male violence? Oh PLEASE!

I don't mind sitting on a toilet to pee cuz I have horrible aim... But if there is a urinal I will use it. I find them to be MUCH quicker than a toilet, more sanitary cuz you don't have to worry about peeing on the seat. (Or pee already on it if its a public restroom)
