DB11 Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 NOW SIT, INGVAR 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. http://townhall.com/columnists/johnleo/2000/08/17/another_harasser_brought_to_justice/page/full/ As well as a load of other links by using Google.

Raw Dykes Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 How is getting rid of urinals going to help their cause? That will mean more piss on toilet seats. Who do they think they are? "One argument is that if women can't do it, then men shouldn't either." Let's ban reading maps, parking and throwing, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 Other measures include men having to talk in a higher pitch voice, only wear uncomfortable shoes and park with as much skill and precision as a blind amputee. Oh and take all little jokes really seriously. Edit: damn you Raw Dykes, you stole my thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to play this game, then we should probably ban pregnancy and multiple orgasms to make it fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't steal your joke, I just took too long to compose it, I changed the wording a few times to improve on humour and minimise on offence. I should have stuck with my original, which was: "Men also to be forced to be whiny little bitches" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 I could MAYBE understand if it was purely for cleanliness reasons but then, as others have said, urinals would be a plus not a negative. The rubbish about it being offensive to women is ****ing retarded. They shouldn't be watching, so they shouldn't know if a man is standing or not!

Don't worry - I know - that's why I put the winking smiley. I should have stuck with my original, which was: "Men also to be forced to be whiny little bitches" But we can't do that, so that should be banned, too.

The rubbish about it being offensive to women is ****ing retarded. They shouldn't be watching, so they shouldn't know if a man is standing or not! I went to Knebworth the other week, to see RHCP, and it was massively under tolieted, while in a queue for some unisex port-a-loos, some girls behind asked why we weren't using the urinal. We didn't know there were any and naturally having a bladder full of cider we made our way over to the plastic pissing troughs, I would have loved to have known about this at the time and turned round and said that we were fighting for the sisterhood, we will not oppress you with our advantageous additional appendages, and then gone in the toilet and pissed all over the seat.

Rincewind Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 How are they going to enforce it? Cameras? Female attendants spying on you? There is no rule that women have to sit down. If they want equality then they should stand up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 What about the disabled? It's inconsiderate and downright rude of able-bodied people to walk, run, dance and jump around, rubbing it in their faces. "more crucially because an able-bodied person walking is deemed to be triumphing in their working legs, and by extension, degrading the disabled."One argument is that if the disabled can't do it, then the able-bodied shouldn't either. Another is that standing upright or walking is "a nasty macho gesture," suggestive of able-bodied people's violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basildon Fox Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 A couple of years ago we were on holiday in Ibiza. My wife went into the loos at the hotel we were stating at and one of the childrens reps was in there standing up and pissing without shutting the door. The dirty bitch!!

Parafox Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 The piss on toilet seats is a valid point. Virtually every time I go to use a public cubicle the seat is covered in piss. The floor too. What do these people do? wave it around? I'm sure it's deliberate... or maybe they have got a woman holding it for them... Anyway, they wouldn't do it home (I assume) so why make it umpleasant for fellow men. For the record I sit to pee, it's an age thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Numan Posted 9 July 2012 Share Posted 9 July 2012 Can't believe that Ingvar, what a wimp. He should grow a pair and dump the bitch. Someone should engineer a false penis for feminists to urinate through. It'll have to be a woman though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
