There's a men's bathroom that installed urinals shaped like a woman's mouth. Someone told a woman about it, and a bunch of women's rights groups complained, and eventually the urinals were removed from the bathroom. What do you think? Is it funny, or offensive, or neither (or both, I guess)? When you answer, say whether you're a man or a woman.
Here's a link to a picture, and a news story about it:

Some women seem to have interpreted the urinals as advocating that men pee on women. If that were the case, then obviously it would be gross. But note that I think they're just intended to allude to oral sex. Not peeing on people.

FYI, I'm a man, and I think it's funny.

This question strikes me as an interesting Rorschach test to see whether or not a woman is easily offended. An important consideration when deciding whether or not to date them.
FYI, I asked this question in 3 different categories. Here are the overall results, excluding people who didn't answer the question:
In all 3 categories, 11 men responded, of which 10 thought it was funny, and 1 thought it was offensive.
In all 3 categories, 28 women responded, of which 12 (43%) thought it was funny, 8 thought it was offensive, and 8 thought it was neither.
In the Jokes and Riddles category, 7 women responded, of which 5 (71%) thought it was funny, 0 thought it was offensive, and 2 thought it was neither.
In the Polls & Surveys category, 11 women responded, of which 5 (45%) thought it was funny, 4 thought it was offensive, and 2 thought it was neither.

In the Gender & Women's Studies category, 10 women responded, of which 2 (20%) thought it was funny, 4 thought it was offensive, and 4 thought it was neither.
So it would appear that the women in the Gender & Women's Studies category are easily offended, the women in the Jokes and Riddles category are fun loving, and the women in the Polls & Surveys category are in between. That's about what I expected.
