Current Events > Why do women get so mad about the damn toilet seat?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Modern liberated woman-
"I'm not cooking for a man, and I'm sure not going to pick up after one. I'm not his mother! He can take care of himself, I'm not his housekeeper!

Why can't you put the toilet seat down for me?! You should be more thoughtful of me!!"

See how it sounds?

It does happen at my house when we have visitors. I'm not understanding the point you are trying to make.

Yes you do

No I don't, or else I wouldn't' be asking.

You do

I think you're intentionally missing the point. I noticed you do that a lot in your arguments

It's an old rule based on simple biology.

The women in the household will make use of the toilet seat more often than the men. When a guy takes a leak, it's a quick in-and-out process (generally no use of the seat). And some guys don't even need to sit down when taking a poop.

For women, there can be more use of the toilet seat. What a lot of men don't understand is that some women need to take their time trying to pee. They can't just waltz into the bathroom and fire on command like most guys can. They have to relax their body enough to release. That means squatting somewhere comfortable. And for a lot of women that means using the seat. If you got a penis, congratulations, you typically have the faster equipment to piss with.

You got penis privilege, that's why you put the seat down for dear old Mom.

Then you wash your hands, like you're always supposed to do after taking a leak in a bathroom. You don't, but you're supposed to. So why don't we overlook the thousands of times you shook hands with unsuspecting people or hugged Mom with your grubby ass paws and you do at least one nice thing for her to make up for it by putting the fucking seat down...

Ouch poor old mom. Having to pee sitting down and can't be bothered to look before she does so

It's common among tall fit men using average to smaller sized toilets. Some of them just squat over the bowl rather than sit on it, because they don't have wimpy chicken legs, they're not obese, and their bowel movements take no longer than a few minutes (good diet).

You'll have to excuse me if I don't sympathize with able-bodied young men who are so weak they need the seat to take a shit that requires 15-30 minutes because they refuse to hydrate and eat enough fiber.

If a guy is so short he's basically forced to use the seat, that's respectively an exception.

I always put the seat down and close the lid to prevent my cat from playing in it.

But lol at asherlee really arguing that stimuli gating applies here. Stimuli gating is when your brain tunes out background noise while you're having a conversation and things that are not directly related to whatever task is at hand. Stimuli gating would be more applicable if it wasn't for the fact that the toilet seat is directly a part of the task you are about to do. Not noticing it isn't stimuli gating, it's just piss poor awareness/attention. (Pun intended) If a house has both men and women and the woman has fallen in, her brain shouldn't be filtering it out. That's clearly stimuli worth processing and I feel no sympathy for people who don't look before they sit down.

Thank you. Exactly

This problem is an issue between men and women. If the man knows there's women there then he may out down the seat as courtesy. If a woman knows men use the bathroom, they should know enough to check before they sit down.

Why does the woman get leeway to use "stimuli gating " and the man doesn't??

YEP!!
It's one of the high points of the day!
Sittin' there thinkin' in silence...
most of the time...
In fact, the men's restroom is like a monastery. It's a place of solitude and quiet.
It's such a moving experience, moving the seat down or up isn't even a factor! We just do it because the reward is in the journey!
A journey begins with the first step. The first step is a piece of cake, so much so, it's not even noticed by us men.

Women should learn from this, lol!

You're telling me that tall men don't actually sit on the toilet sometimes to have a bowel movement?

Yup.

Some men do not require contact with the seat in order to take a shit. And this habit is usually in conjunction with having good standing stability and a healthy enough diet that they're not dropping bricks every time.

When someone's typical #2 is dropping a stone in the toilet and it takes more than 10 minutes to do it...their diet is wrong. As in according to many pieces of accredited medical research, their dietary consumption is garbage. I'm not saying everyone should run out and load up on health foods and drink only crystal clear mountain water. I'm saying the people with this problem currently consume far too much dietary deficient junk and their body's waste functions are showing it.

Woah...slow down there. That's a lot to ask of some of the users here. You'll overstimulate them.

That doesn't make sense. It's been proven that squatting results in a more productive bowel movement. Being tall should be an advantage.

I have already stated that I think both people should put the lid down after they are done or do whatever is decided upon in their household. Additionally, I think you should put the toilet seat and lids back the way you found them if you are visiting another person's house.

My discussion has been about the EXPLANATION of why some people either sit on the lid or sit into the toilet bowl unintentionally. I have, at no time, said that stimuli gating is some excuse for women.

You need to learn to read and comprehend what is written.

It is an excuse when you say that it cannot be helped

But your explanation doesn't really apply perfectly anyways

there's people who actually don't put the lid down when they're done?

I never said it couldn't be helped either.

And you've offered nothing in the way of why this would not apply.

I have

How about the fact that the toilet seat is not a continuous stimuli that would need to be filtered out by the brain to maintain any type of homeostasis??
It's more like forgetfulness. You forget to check the seat even though it's in plain view of you every time you use it.

You yourself have admitted that you've fallen in before. So that should have spurred your brain to remind you to check before you sit. But I guess not

Not to mention, these instances where women have fallen into the toilet often happen late at night and in the dark.

Wtf kind of 3rd world country do you live in where you don't have lights in your bathroom?

Yeah who the hell wants to turn on the light in the middle of the night?

No one wants to, that's still not an excuse not to. I do literally every time, I've never fallen in the toilet.

What is this? The pee gate is not in the penis or lack of it, but in the bladder, which everyone has.

I always close the lid anyway cuz poo particles fly out when you flush

This is the only correct answer.
