WTF: Europe To Ban Men From Urinating While Standing.

The local chapter of the Left Party, a socialist and feminist political party, in Sormland County Council, Sweden, is pushing to make standing while peeing illegal for men using the county council’s public restrooms.
Party officials are pushing to make public restrooms in the county council “sitting only.”
Supporters of the proposal say sitting while urinating is more hygienic and promotes sanitary restroom habit for male users.
It will help to eliminate the problem of puddles on the floor and spray stains on toilet seats.
They also argue that urinating while sitting will help to promote male health because it allows men to empty their bladder more effectively.
Sitting while urinating according to advocates will reduce prostate problems among men.
As a compromise, the party has proposed that some toilets could, in the interim, be designated exclusively for men who must remain standing while peeing.
The Left Party’s Viggo Hansen, who made the proposal, said that ultimately he wants office toilets in the council to be genderless and would thus like to see only “sit-down” toilets in county council offices.
He said that the move should not be seen as meddling in the bathroom habits of people.
He said: “That’s not what we’re doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet.” But proposals across Europe to enforce “sitting only” regulation in public toilets have been criticized.
