men are pigs and need to learn to clean up after themselves

Please. I used to manage a department store with high traffic public restrooms. I can tell you unequivocally that woman leave public bathrooms in a much, much more...exponentially more...nasty, filthy state.

I don’t know if the urine flow is strong enough when sitting down. Need to get those toxins out. Need to sweat toxins out too. Sweat and pee, it’s a ‘guy thing’.

I have seen some nasty, nasty, nasty stuff in female public restrooms. At home, it’s the opposite. My husband is the messy one, not that he’s especially messy.

I hate public restrooms and have excellent bladder control. My husband is amazed that when we go on long trips, I can go the whole trip w/o needing a pit stop, while he has to stop what seems like every hour.

Bitte Sitzen has been the rule in Germany for decades.

I recall from my days in Germany that there were few urinals in the mens room. Instead, you urinated on a wall designed for that purpose.

Seemed pretty effective to me.

It beats the bathroom looking like somebody stood up to take a dump.

“Be proud, When you’re a man the whole world is your urinal.”

It’s a rite of passage, having your ol’ man teach you how to write your name in the snow.

“men are pigs and need to learn to clean up after themselves”

Toilets are too low for most guys.

I, as a mother, taught all three of my boys to sit when they go. I did not want to get down behind the toilet and clean up their mess! When they got old enough that they knew better than to make a mess, they were allowed to stand. They know mom will give them heck if they make a mess, and to put the toilet seat down before they leave.

In Germany, I am told men who sit to pee are called “sitzpinklers”, and it is a derogatory term.

At least, I would use it as such.

Well, because of the anatomy, they can’t just unzip and let fly.

Totally irrelevant to the article -

I finally searched on Bing, what the heck DWTS is, because I see it everywhere.

Which only showed how un-connected and out of touch I am.

At work, the mens room only had a commode. Somebody posted a sign that said, “Your mom doesn’t pee here. Leave the damn lid up!”

Still, it was always down. Men are so conditioned by women.

McConnel probably already does! (As well as McCain, Boener, Graham and Cornyn!)

Western civilization increasingly demands emasculated men whose every word and action, right down to bathroom trips,
be feminized. It’s up to men to say, “Hell, no.”

And for the record, my husband is a real man who doesn’t leave a mess.

The difference is that women only tend to do that in public facilitis. Male dribblers dribble at home too.

If true to form of the women I have known intimately, what comes spraying out at the start can go anywhere from your six o'clock to your twelve o'clock and settle anywhere inbetween. So I don't want to hear any of this crap about men and what goes where. I do the cleaning in my house as a rule, and I know what takes place by which sex when it comes to bathroom control.

The one thing I am amazed at is how come women get it all under the seat? Sure they can complain if little johnny drips a spot on the seat and doesn't clean it up, but how the hell does it all seem to go horizontal and up with women? It's like it goes in a pendulum cycle from beginning to end.
