    Biased how. Do the math. Half of us sit down to pee, all of us sit down to shit.

      Biased meaning only men have to do any work, women never have to (if it’s left down always)

      True neutral would be last used position.

        It’s also easier to slam it down, than bend and lift it up.
        And peeing is more frequent when there aren’t urinals.
        So everytime a pissstander arrives to a raised seat, it’s a saving of efforts
        But of course, this avoid the worst problem of all.
        Having to remember to do one extra thing after you’re done and ready to leave
        That last one is probably THE biggest asshle of the entire discussion.

      Also, as someone with male plumbing, we can also sit down to pee. So everyone can sit to pee, and half of us can’t.

        not to well actually, but once you figure out a female urinal they are kinda nice. according to my mother who spent all last week texting me every time she used one on her hiking trip

          The little sleeve thingy? My wife tried to use one but didn’t try it at home first. There was no bathroom/pit toilet out there either. They tried but couldn’t do it. It took me a bit to realize but once you make the connection that literally their entire life they have never had to pee standing up it makes sense that their body is just like nope can’t do it. They ended up holding onto a tree and squatting while I kept watching for critters/moral support. It was dark out and spooky.

          That night I think a raccoon sniffed around our tent which was cool.

                My mom was So. Excited. I stopped peeing standing up when I was 25 because legs tired but like I get it when it’s your first week doin it. We told her to aim for leaves and pay attention to which way the wind was blowing because upwind is a mistake you only make once.

                She’s back home from her backpacking trip, I don’t think she’s still using the urinal.
