Why do us men have to put the toliet seat down for women?

Question

Don't women look before they sit. How many of them use the bathroom in the dark. If I took the time to lift it they can take the time to put it down. I lift to use. Women should put it down to use.

Answer 1

Good Point. Some would argue it's party of Chivarly. I would argue Chivarly is dead and women killed it and now have to live with the consequences. Equal Rights means Equal Responsibility.

Lastly, to the lady, I mean girl above me, We put it up and we put it down, your light analogy is moronic and doesn't apply. How about we just leave it up? We are polite and nice, getting the bathroom and toliet ready for the next person. Any girl who doesn't recognize this is probably too self-absorbed for you to want to date anyways. A rule of thumb, More girls in the house seat stays down, more guys seat stays up. Another rule of thumb: Look where you're sitting idiot.

Answer 2

Well for one, a lady is a lady, and it isn't particulary polite to expect a lady to touch a seat with piss on it (i use a tissue).
The best way to explain it is to look at it from a mathematical point of view. Okay between a man and a woman, the toilet is used in 4 ways that equals to 100%. For a woman, we sit on it to pee and we sit on it for bowel movements (50%). For a guy, they sit on it for bowel movements (25%) and lift it to pee(the last 25%). So 75% of the time it is being sat on by someone, and the only time it needs to be lifted is the one time it is lifted for a man to pee. How is it fair for the women who never uses it lifted it has to put it back down? Doesn't it make more sense to put it back after you use it like you probably would do with most other things? Besides, It is just a polite thing to do, and it doesn't exaclty look great to go into the bathroom and see piss all over the edge of the toilet at first view. Having the seat down makes it look cleaner, and no, women don't always look when they sit. You should try waking up in the middle of the night to piss half asleep to find yourself sitting in the bowl. Not fun.

Answer 3

This is my logic and reasoning on the matter of the position of the toilet seat:

If you live alone or don't have any company, then you can put it however it pleases you. But if you live with or have female company, then it should be placed in the down position since it will be utilized more often in this position; she sits when she poops and pees, and you sit when you poop.

But, the lid of the toilet should be placed down, also. The lid is there to keep objects from falling into the toilet. And if you left the lid off of anything else, then the woman would make a point of telling you to put the lid back on. The only reason to have the lid up but the toilet seat down when a woman is around would be laziness on her part, that she doesn't want to have to lift the lid when using the toilet. This reason isn't any better than the guy not wanting to lift the toilet seat up when he has to pee, so it isn't valid.

BTW, the reasoning of "If the guy had to lift it up, then he should put it back as he found it" doesn't necessarily work, because it assumes that the woman who used it before him also found the seat to be in the down position and left it that way, and not that she found it in the up position, then put it down and failed to put it back as she had found it.

Answer 4

putting the seat down after use has absolutely nothing to do with the feminist movement. it's common courtousy. it can not be compared with holding open a door either...i'm a woman and i hold doors open for men all the time. however, i don't like cleaning up after other people's messes...it's about taking responsibility for your own mess/behavior. if men could aim well enough with the seat down you wouldn't be expected to lift it. in addition, although i sit to pee, i put the lid down after each use bc toilets were built for the seat and lid to be in the down position when not in use. many men do in fact return the toilet lid and seat to its proper position before leaving the bathroom, so i don't know how this is even perceived as an issue regarding the supposed man/woman dichotomy. i don't understand why putting the toilet seat down is such a complex or strenuous task that you even have to ask such a question.

Answer 5

Typically, I don't care if he leaves it up. The only time I have an issue is if he leaves it up at night and I fall in. I don't turn on the light b/c our bathroom is connected to the bedroom and turning on the light would wake him up. So...if he has the respect to put the seat down, I have the respect not to wake him with the light.

As for opening doors, letting me go first, etc....I don't really care if he does. However, he usually does. I didn't train him to do it, he just always has. He thought it was weird when I kissed his hand and opened doors for him.

Answer 6

Do you hold the door? I sure hope you said yes to this....Consider it a common courtesy.
Although, in my house I don't care if you leave the seat up or down but if you pee on it I WILL find you. And all 3 of my boys will warn their friends 'cause I go freakin insane. I will call out anyone who pees on the seat, march them to the bathroom and instruct them in cleaning it. So, up or down doesn't matter so much as NO PEEING ON THE SEAT!!!

Answer 7

We don't let them do it themselves. They are more than capable no matter what they try and make you think. I know this because my woman doesn't whinge about something as pathetic as that but she is a real woman. Not a feminist liberalist ball breaker. Neither are any of the women that I do know but if I was ever to meet a stuck up bint like that and I went to her house, before I left her house I would leave the seat down and piss allover it just to annoy her.

Answer 8

You don't...plain and simple. We are perfectly capable of putting it down before we use it...and if thats the worst thing we can find to complain about...then we really don't have it bad at all, do we?

And while we're at it...if feminists are so concerned with equity...then why aren't men justifiably complaining about women not putting it up when they are finished????

Answer 9

Actually, the LID should be put down on any toilet before you flush. Each flush sprays millions of germs into the air...hey, where is YOUR toothbrush??
If everyone put down the entire lid after you do your business but before you flush, then males and females would be completely equal.

Answer 10

I never thought of that. We spend the time to set the seat up for ourselves. Why do they get to just walk in and go? They need to do some preparation too!
