Why Can't Women Put The Seat Down Themselves?

Question

Why Can't Women Just Put The Seat Down Before They Use The Toliet? Are Women Just Not Able To Look And Say Hey Maybe I Should Put The Seat Down Before I Use The Toliet. I Don't Get Why Guys Have To Raise The Seat And Lower It If Women Can't Even Lower It. It Just Isn't Right. I Put The Lid Down Personally It Just Makes Sense To Me That Way Nothing Can Fall Into The Toliet Like Cell Phones And Stuff. So Can Anyone Tell Me Why Can't Women Do This Themselves.

I Guess Most Don't Understand . Why Should It Be Down Why Not Up Why Not The Lid Closed. I Really Don't Understand How Women Fall In If It Is Up And A Guy Goes In To CSit He Doesn't Fall In He Just Puts The Seat Down First. You Don't Hear Men Complaining It's Down We Just Lift It Up Why Do Women Complain If It Isn't Down Is It So Hard To Put Down You Need A Man To Do It For Yoe?

Answer 1

The only thing I don't understand about it, is how the women fall in. I could see a mild irritation from having to always put the seat down, but the idea of falling in just seems ludicrous to me. I have never once had to remember to put the seat down when needed. Its something you would just instinctively check before sitting. I have never once seen a woman walk into a room in the dark, fall down backwards and say "Isn't there supposed to be a chair here ?" So why is the toilet somehow different ?

Thats the other comment they make, is that they don't turn the lights on. Why not ? Is there a man out there who just wanders into the bathroom at night and starts peeing at random, and merely adjusts his aim until he hears it splashing into the toilet bowl water to know hes now on target. No, you turn a damn light on.

It seems to be a common theme. I don't think I've known a man to run out of gas in his car because he forgot to check that he was near empty before leaving his destination. This is something I've only ever heard of women doing.

I guess men prefer to be independent and take care of everything themselves ie. refusing to ask for directions or use a map, and women prefer to have things done for them ie. cannot even bother to routinely check the toilet seat or fuel gauge.

Answer 2

Why do you capitalize all your words? Anyway, let us look at why the seat should be down:
1. Whenever the lid, not just the seat, but the lid is up and someone flushes the toilet, little pee pee and poo poo water droplets become airborne around the bathroom, getting on toothbrushes and everything else.
2. Women use the toilet with the seat down for both uses, and men use it down for 1 of the 2 uses, therefore making 3 out of 4 uses of the toilet requiring the seat to be down.
3. Looking at the toilet bowl it quite unsightly.
4. Have you ever walked into the bathroom at 3am half awake only to sit down and fall into the toilet because someone left it up?
5. If you leave the lid up, the cat tries to drink from the toilet.

Answer 3

It is not because they can't, it is rather because touching the toilet seat is considered dirty work, which some specific women reserve for men to accomplish for them. It is part of their princess mentality. It is chauvinistic to expect men to do something like this for women but picking and choosing "equality" seems to be the order of the day.

Personally, I would have nothing to do with any woman that is so self-centered or too stupid to check the position of the seat for herself.

In my house, if you want the seat down, YOU put it down. If you want it up, again, YOU put it up. I'll leave my seat the way I choose, period. I will change it if I choose as any who use my toilet can as well. If any don't like it, I'll show them how to operate a door, specifically one leading to the outside of the house where they can pee by a tree for all I care.

Yes, I am being a bit tyrannical. After all, it's my house, my rules... there's the door.

Answer 4

I have pondered over this many times as I have been chewed out about a darn toilet seat.

I don't see why a woman can't just put it down when they are using the washroom. I don't see what the issue is. I am quick to put the lid down too just to see if a woman is going to complain about needing to lift it too.

Wow Pitch17 has a great solution. I like that it wasn't one sided like most of the garbage on here. She deserves some thumbs up for that.


Wow cloudcity is telling the truth

Answer 5

Good grief, everyone put the seat down and put the lid down. Do you really want something to fall in the toilet and then have to reach in there to get it out?

Answer 6

Why are you taking your cell phone into your bathroom? Is the call you're expecting that important?

Either way, as most of us have seen already, some kid has invented a foot pedal that puts the seat down for you. This should solve a lot of problems.

Answer 7

I believe this is the only "household chore" men are expected to do. I guess it's just too much for you. The nerve of us women, asking you to bend over and with one arm, lift up a toilet seat, and when you're finished, with the same arm already tired from lifting the seat, putting it back down. We have gone too far.

Answer 8

In 20+ years of marriage, we never ONCE argued about the position of the toilet seat. What a waste of time and energy.
There are so many more important issues.

A lot of the users here need to grow up.

Answer 9

They generally do, for each time they complain they have put it down wordlessly 100 times.
But the lavatory looks so ugly and base when left with the seat up. It looks like a slovenly house when visitors go round. Women work hard on the house work to keep their homes looking nice and a little effort by the man to tidy up after themselves is appreciated.

Answer 10

my sultion to this problem is, when women use the bathroom after they are done they should raise the toilet seat for the man, and then after the man is done he should lower it.

i think it would work
