"The local chapter of the Left Party, a socialist and feminist political party, in Sormland County Council, Sweden, is pushing to make standing while peeing illegal for men using the county council's public restrooms.
Feminists behind it, whodda guessed.
Party officials are pushing to make public restrooms in the county council "sitting only."
The Left Party's Viggo Hansen, who made the proposal, said that ultimately he wants office toilets in the council to be genderless and would thus like to see only "sit-down" toilets in county council offices.
Men stand to pee, woman sit. How does men being forced to sit make it genderless?
I wonder how they will enforce this illegal activity?
I'll stand up at a public urinal, but if I'm in my own home then I prefer to sit. I have no desire to clean up stray drops of piss if I don't need to. No matter how careful my aim may be, there are always stray drops of piss.

I wasn't aware of this, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I guess great minds really do think alike!
I don't agree with your gender stereotyping at the end though - not all men stand.
Some people have difficulties peeing sitting down, mine would go over the floor, so if I used those Swedish toilets as required they would get flooded!
As another poster pointed out I'd sooner not have captain winky come into contact with the rim/seat or bowl (even if you go skiig dumps) plus you can't shake off sitting down

Not at all. Toilet water isn't far down. Most men know this through experience.....
Yes to both points.
Excellent thread OP there for Christmad (sic) Day; people's peeing preferences.

it can't just be me
Exactly, why would anyone not relish the chance to sit down and relax on their tod? Much nicer!

Reminds me of the sign in lavatories in days of yore:
RAISE THE SEAT
A nice ambiguity - is it a request or merely an observation?
So, it doesn't really matter if you sit down or stand up, as part of your ablution/hygiene regime.
Or is that just one less thing than us chaps that they have to talk about ?
Frostbite in your bellend if it goes underwater. I am cursed like this.
How else are we to mark our territory?
Yes I would just stand up and do it!
Public access toilets or anywhere else I'll pass

Or put the lid down it's awfully unhygienic flushing urine or faeces with the lid up, Some people are just disgusting.
I'm not so sure. Most animals I can think of pee standing up, cats being a notable exception. In dogs, only the males stand to pee, like humans.
obviously I meant on 2 legs
