Swedish Feminists Wear the Pants (and want to stand)

[Think Different]

Sweden is being torn apart by Muslim extremists and they prefer to fritter away their country over BS like this. If this isn't a clear sign to avoid Scandinavian women, then I don't know what else would be:

Take a stand -- and sit down for what you believe in.

Male representatives on the Sormland County Council in Sweden should sit rather than stand while urinating in office restrooms, according to a motion advanced by the local Left Party.

Known as a socialist and feminist organization, the party claims that seated urination is more hygienic for men -- the practice decreases the likelihood of puddles and other unwanted residue forming in the stall -- in addition to being better for a man's health by more effectively emptying one's bladder, The Local reported.

But not everyone agrees.

"Men scatter urine not so much during the actual urination as during the 'shaking off' that follows," John Gamel, a professor at the University of Louisville, wrote while addressing the issue in 2009. "As a result, forcing men to sit while emptying their bladders will serve little purpose, since no man wants to shake himself off while remaining seated on the toilet."

A representative from the party said he hopes to move toward sitting only bathrooms.

Okay, full disclosure here: I put my legs up to take a shit. That's because toilet seats are unnatural for just about everything. Ideally the human body is designed for taking a shit in a squatting position. If you are standing up or sit down with legs 90 degrees it contracts the muscles so you don't shit your pants. So why sit down on a toilet? I try to avoid public restrooms, but at home I always raise my legs so I'm in a more natural position. Makes it much more comfortable and can avoid hemorrhoids later on.
