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. 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.

But I can think of another reason to ban urinals. They are a sexist waste of space and money. 

Because bathroom architects give extra places for guys to go, enabling them to pee while they stand up, guys are in and out, with little time wasted. 

Some employers think this helps productivity and as a result women get crude remarks made to them, like ”what took you so long?” Sexual harassment like that makes some women shy about using the bathroom and, as a result, makes them more prone to have humiliating accidents. 

The only reason we girls take longer to go than guys is because we obviously have to displace more clothing and then also sit. Guys merely walk up to a urinal, unzip and whip it out. 

I, however, have to walk into a stall, lock it, turn around, pull down my pants (or hold up my skirt), pull down my panties, sit down and then - finally - I can pee. 

Some might question that even if schools removed urinals from boys’ bathrooms, what’s to stop a boy from peeing into a toilet behind the stall door? 

They won’t if low ceilings are placed above the toilet, physically forcing them to sit. 

(That’s also not a bad idea by itself - stall ceilings - to give everyone, boys and girls, total privacy. It would stop the harassment of girls and boys at school from other kids standing on the toilet in the stall next door, looking down on the kid on the toilet and making fun of her/him, perhaps even taking embarrassing photos with a camera phone and emailing them around). 

Or moisture sensors can be placed on the tile floor, sounding an embarrassing beeping alarm if a boy misses. 

For school boys that are still defiant, teachers could simply assign a couple of girls from their class as restroom monitors. The girls would observe which boys’ shoes were facing the improper direction. 

Since there wouldn’t be any urinals, just stalls with doors, the girls wouldn’t see anything they weren’t supposed to see. An offending boy would be given a warning. Repeat offenders could be assigned bathroom cleaning duties or be denied bathroom access. 

Unequal restroom budgeting results in longer lines for women at concerts, ballgames, amusement parks. We therefore miss more of these events than men, despite having paid the same price for a ticket.

Due to the long bathroom lines, we also are more prone to having a humiliating accident. 

If guys had to pull their pants down and sit to go, they’d be up in arms about the lack of adequate restroom facilities and more stalls would be constructed. 

My answer to the average guy who is probably outraged at my support to ban urinals? 

You’ve probably never suffered the embarrassment of wetting your pants while waiting in a long bathroom line at a ballgame or crowded club, as I have, and then had to walk back to your seat, totally humiliated, with everyone smirking or outright laughing at you.

I think the OP gives  a really bad name to feminism. Where do I even start here? Well, first of all, most men sit down to pee because it is easier for them to sit down to pee. Thats it. There is no ulterior motive here, no “Ha ha! Look at the girls, sitting down to pee!” The fact that most women have to sit down is because it is just easier for them to sit down. 

Yet here the OP is, pretty much making it seem as if men purposefully have it much easier than women. Then she goes so far as to throw out ideas for what can only be called punishment for men who dare pee the way they have been taught to pee; how dare they do what is easiest for them! Boys who pee should be made to clean up bathrooms or get embarrassed if they miss. 

Wait. Wasn’t she just saying that she has had embarrassing accidents and was made fun of for it? But she is ready to subject others to being humiliated? Well thats just not very neighborly, is it? 

And hey, if that doesn’t work, you could always just build a low ceiling so that they are forced to do what you want them to do. Grand idea!

Then she goes on to state that men would probably make a huge fuss if they had to sit down and thus more stalls would be built to calm them down. Way to be sexist and make men seem like fussy complainers while women are cool headed and just deal with the hardships of having to pee sitting down. 

By her logic, women should be made to stand up so that they don’t “take as long” in the bathroom, thus making it easier for men. 

Honestly, this is just getting ridiculous.
