Feminists attempting to ban Urinals and make it illegal to pee standing up in Europe

2012-04-19T20:27:22+00:00

This is too stupid to be true.

How will I tell if I walk into the wrong bathroom accidentally!? May as well eliminate the different gendered bathrooms

Sigh

We need to ban childbirth because men are not capable of it.

ryuh90 · 2012-04-19T19:21:59+00:00

And another thing...

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.

Yeah all of that sounds like very hard, time consuming work, ESPECIALLY the part where you have to turn around, and the part where you have to sit down.

The trade off used to be that a women's restroom was better furnished to facilitate breast feeding, if that isn't the norm anymore because of women's choice, men shouldn't be punished. Urinals are a low flow equivalent to a regular toilet, especially as waterless urinals begin to emerge and become more commonplace. The idea of removing them is preposterous and can be taken as seriously as a movement to ban feminine hygiene product disposal units in restrooms on the idea that they are less hygienic than regular paper towels and the like, spread germs, and since men don't need them, neither do women.

As far as banning peeing while standing... Since it should not be made illegal to shit while running, a far more foul process, peeing standing up need not even be addressed. If the government needs to stay out of their bodies with issues like abortion, it needs to stay out of my crapper with issues like the position in which I pee.

If this continues I am never putting a toilet seat down again.

In the polls to the right of the page....

Should female teachers be allowed to monitor conduct while boys urinate? . Always:46.09% . Rarely:11.72% . Never:42.19%

ಠ_ಠ

AND

Should urinals be removed from all schools and public restrooms, forcing men and boys to pee sitting down? . Darn right! (I'm a woman):6.04% . I guess so (I'm a guy):10.5% . Not necessarily (I'm a woman):13.39% . Hell no! (I'm a guy):70.08%

Just switch the genders in this poll and use something like birth control and watch what happens.

Is there any reporting on this that isn't this guys blog? I did a google news search and couldn't find anything. Just want some third party verification.

Person A - "Why don't people take our movement seriously?"

Person B - "What are your short term goals right now?"

Person A - "Banning urinals and peeing standing up."

Person B - Face palm

Keep your drips to yourself

I've never, ever seen a woman drip on the seat. /s

I have to sit on that seat, you don't have to sit on the rim. Fucking turn around and wipe up the piss you apparently can't find when wiping.

minorthreat77 · 2012-04-19T22:14:11+00:00

Any janitor will tell you that women's bathrooms are twice as disgusting as male bathrooms. Women squat to pee so piss gets everywhere, some just throw around used tampons whereever they see fit, and the menstrual blood, don't get me started on that. If they want some of their fucked up form of justice, they should make it illegal for women to squat and bleed all over the place.

Femminism has officially gone full retard

altmehere · 2012-04-19T22:21:25+00:00

While it's anecdotal, what I usually hear is that women's restrooms tend to be even dirtier than men's restrooms. It's not only urine, but shall we say other bodily fluids that end up in places they shouldn't be (such as stuck on a wall).

But of course, suggesting that something be done about this would be highly sexist, as where the worst this will get from most is a chuckle.

cuteman · 2012-04-19T23:22:05+00:00

Narrative: Because women can't pee standing up, men should have to pee sitting down.

Translation: It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because a baby can't eat steak

C0CKPUNCHER · 2012-04-19T16:44:27+00:00

"Unfortunately, some men pursue this goal with excessive vigour, indulging in what can only be described as 'shaking off the last drop.' "

Nothing is excessive in the goal of spotless underpants.

thegreatmisanthrope · 2012-04-19T20:50:49+00:00

This makes absolutely no sense in any kind of bathroom.

Do they realise women would have to sit in piss in unisex bathrooms because men would just piss on the seat, urinals benefit men and women, so men don't have to fucking sit and tuck and women don't have to worry about seats being up or piss on the seat.

This is outright fucking retarded.

Doctor_Loggins · 2012-04-19T18:45:00+00:00

I cackled out loud while reading this article.

2012-04-19T18:06:49+00:00

So feminists want to force unfair rules on men for reasons that are flimsy, petty and stupid? My goodness I'm just shocked that such fair minded people would do such a thing. Sarcasm meter 10/10

pjwork · 2012-04-19T16:39:00+00:00

So.... I'm an asshole, and honestly, I would still pee standing up.... probably on the court house steps... most likely when a judge is walking by... This is freaking insanity!

ninjaguineapig · 2012-04-19T17:30:46+00:00

"We can’t help it. No one decides to be a man instead of a woman. "

What is that supposed to mean?

2012-04-19T22:49:34+00:00

Urinals use roughly 1/4 of the water as a flush toilet.

mactroneng · 2012-04-19T20:44:08+00:00

I think this article misses another very important point: pissing between the rim of the toilet and the seat of the toilet. I can't be the only one who's done this....

Mediumtim · 2012-04-19T20:48:17+00:00

First, encourage men to continue using the urinals in public toliets, while at home insist they both urinate and squeeze their last dribbles into the sink rather than into the toilet, then rinse the sink with a generous splash of water.

Aaww fuck it, I'm pissing in the sink

kragmoor · 2012-04-19T22:54:22+00:00

there is almost to much stupid in those people minds i can barely describe this level of face palmery

Notemy · 2012-04-19T23:13:11+00:00

Omg! South Park is coming to life!

2012-04-20T00:42:31+00:00

I have a hard time believing that more than a few nutjobs are behind this.

rebelcanuck · 2012-04-20T17:25:59+00:00

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.

You can chop off your balls and carry them in your purse, Ingvar, that's what else you can do.

First of all, a deep thank you Mensrights for making me really happy and relaxed by reading this.

Then, on to the article, which I had to read a few to make sure this wasn't trolling.

I say we really encourage this kind of activism. No, seriously. In a world where women are sold, enslaved etc. We really should get them all be uproared about this. Let them make noise about these hardcore problems. Share the link on the web, ask female friends what they think about it, etc.

I don't think I could've come up with something that stupid, and this is made by them. What better way to promote feminism? Then when it comes to serious, grown up issues like child custody, alimony and so on people will consider feminist viewpoints as lifted by the same people who went insane for urinals and other unique battles by these strong indipentent women that don't need men.

MrStonedOne · 2012-04-20T06:18:08+00:00

dafuq?

Deadeyeguy · 2012-04-19T20:37:09+00:00

They're fighting against our pursuit of urinal banning? BACKLASH!

2012-04-19T23:50:31+00:00

Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

2012-04-19T23:51:44+00:00

To even offer a counter argument doesn't do justice to how absurd this is.

michaelzelen · 2012-04-20T06:03:31+00:00

this is just getting ridiculous

Amunium · 2012-04-20T08:20:50+00:00

I used to clean rooms in a hostel. I can attest that women are in general far messier than men in that regard. Used tampons everywhere, including in the toilet so we had to fish them out, hair all over the sinks, makeup stains on mirrors and tables, blood stains on floors and toilet seats, etc.

I'm a bit mysophobic myself, so I always clean public toilet seats with paper, water and hand soap before I sit down - and guess what, that takes a grand total of about ten seconds, something I have more than enough time for, even with the runs. Get over it.

Leechen · 2012-04-20T13:33:03+00:00

The end got to me priceless XD

ThirtySixEyes · 2012-04-20T02:17:29+00:00

Honestly, mens bathrooms are dirtier on average than females bathrooms, but the most extremely disgusting of all public restrooms are the female ones. Men pool piss at the floor, but women get creative when they get sloppy. Anyone who has ever cleaned the bathrooms at a club, gas station, bar, restaurant, or other mixed sex establishment will back this up.

We need to ban the disposal of tampons and sanitary pads in public bathrooms clearly. Not only are they a greater risk for blood born disease than urine, but the messes creative and sloppy females make is far more disgusting.

If I ever run into one of those signs, I'll pee sitting down, but instead of putting the toilet seat all the way down so it's a new start for the next person, I'll leave it all the way up-all the way....

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-04-20T03:48:59+00:00

"We can’t help it. No one decides to be a man instead of a woman. "

No one is making any woman pee standing up. God damn misdirecting rhetoric.

Arxl · 2012-04-20T04:57:50+00:00

I pee sitting down at my house. Not because I don't want to hit the toilet seat(I never miss), but because I am just too damn lazy.

BinaryShadow · 2012-04-21T05:48:15+00:00

If you think about it, the men's public bathroom is just about the only spot left for men in a literal sense. Any "male" spaces have already been invaded by women while "female" spaces are still sacred and needed. Even the damn boy scouts are being hit. The men's bathroom is the only place a man can truly go to get away from women without social penalty.

It would make sense for feminists to flex their government-paid muscles in that area sooner or later.

Liverotto · 2012-04-21T15:16:23+00:00

To any American that think this is too ridiculous to be true:

German men are being shamed into urinating while sitting down by a gadget which is saving millions of women from cleaning up in the bathroom after them.

The WC ghost, a £6 voice-alarm, reprimands men for standing at the lavatory pan. It is triggered when the seat is lifted. The battery-operated devices are attached to the seats and deliver stern warnings to those who attempt to stand and urinate (known as "Stehpinkeln").

"Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don't want any trouble, you'd best sit down," one of the devices orders in a voice impersonating the German leader, Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. Another has a voice similar to that of his predecessor, Helmut Kohl.

Can I have one of this devices with the voice of their pre-pre-pre-pre-predecessor?

Their prototype English-speaking WC ghost says in an American drawl: "Don't you go wetting this floor cowboy, you never know who's behind you. So sit down, get your water pistol in the bowl where it belongs. Ha, ha, ha."

But without urinals, how would we have this?

I kind of wish they would get rid of urinals and just have stales with normal toilets. I don't think too many men are fond of pissing 6 inch away from a stranger.
