Link to video.

There's a politician who proposed that men should be required by law to urinate in a sitting position - partly because it leaves toilets cleaner and promotes prostate health, partly as an appeal for reason.

...

"I had read about a school in Norway that officially banned boys' stand-up peeing."

...

At a school in Stockholm named 'Egalia', teaching gender equality is a priority. Boys and girls are encouraged not to be limited by stereotypical roles or games. And since last year, there is a new word in the Swedish dictionary: "hen", which is a neutral pronoun for "he" or "she".

Tell me of totalitarianism, Westerners! :scan:
 
That school in Norway was an elementary school where the cleaning personnel had a lot of extra work to do because their male students apparently had no idea how to aim! So the principal prohibited them from standing and peeing in the toilets (most school have urinals anyways, but I'm not sure if this particular one lacked it). It made a stir in the news for a day or two, with the highlight being a statement from one of the boys father: "My son can't sit and pee, his penis would get in the water!" I'm expecting that rule to be removed again when the boys learn to aim better... ;)

Egalia is, as far as I know, the only preschool of its kind. And most people, both in and out of Sweden, thinks they're being silly. Doubtful it will harm the kids in any way though, so whatever.
 
Isn't this par for the course in Germany, where the fraus lord over their toilets like despots? Course, they have those bizarre poo-shelf toilets there, so I guess splash back might be a bigger problem.
 
Sitting down does not help aim, and if their aim is off sitting down, it will go on the floor any ways.
 
So I just looked up what a German toliet looks like. First time I've actually considered the Middle Eastern variety a Good Thing.
 
All the boys in the 6th grade at my school (age 11/12/13) got yelled at for making the bathroom messy, and, well, as the teacher that was yelling at us put it, "surely you all have perfected your aim by now." This lasted about a week or maybe 1.5 weeks or so. It was kind of awkward to have an announcement "all 6th grade boys meet at the gym" or wherever we met during this week long battle.

Which considering we had urinals, it just boiled down to a couple kids thinking it was funny to purposefully miss. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if some principal in the US has threatened to make a similar rule :p

of course, those can never be enforced. The best they could do is remove the urinals, which actually is a terrible idea.

You must not of heard. We have this thing called the NSA. Dear leader Obama can enforce this...If he so chooses.

What in the hells? Why did I look that up? I'd rather use an outhouse.
 
If peeing in the sitting position truly supports prostate health then I don't see why this is a bad thing at all. Supposing that's genuinely true (I'll have to look into it) I'll have to pee sitting down from now on. I'm being serious!

I don't think this is sexist at all... am I missing something?

Wut. ?
 
I sit down when I #1 at home simply because it's my place and I like to relax, not to mention I can #2 when the need strikes. But I ain't going to #1 sitting down in a public restroom considering the condition of public men's restrooms. No way, no how!

I'm still curious about how it promotes prostate health though.

Don't you think preventing prostate cancer is a good thing?

Even if you can back this up with strong science you are going to really need massive causation before I'm going to support passing laws on how one can fribbin' urinate legally into a toilet. Like, are 8/10 men dead of cancer from all time dead because of the scourge of standing piss and we just figured it out?

Srsly though, am I peering under your bridge at the moment? Are you squatting like a good boy?
