Women have been asking for equal rights since the dawn of history. For the most parts, in the United States they have most equal rights but in many cases deserve more equalism. This should extend to lifting the seat. Women - you do realize that just as you have to have the lit down to use it, we rather have it up to use it to keep it clean from dripping. Why can't it be a common courtesy that goes both ways. When a man uses it, he sets it down, when the women does, she lifts it up? Is that too much to ask? We are all equal after all, aren't we?

For the record, I always leave it down for my wife. This question stemmed from a conversation I was having with a friend. Although I am playing devil's advocate, I do believe it does have some merit in the debate. :)

Life is not so black and white.
The reason women ask men to put the toilet seat down is because women sit on the toilet sit and when your back is turned to the seat you may not necessarily notice and you can severely hurt yourself if you plop down on a toilet seat with the lid lifted.
On the other hand, if a woman does not put the lid up for a man, since he typically uses it facing the toilet, he will see it and lift it. Also, if he doesn't look first and happens to need to sit on it, he's not going to hurt his butt bone because the seat is already down for him.
Also, men are used to lifting the toilet seat because they alternate between using it with the lid up and the lid down. Women only use the toilet seat with the lid down.
You see the thing about equality is that it is not ignorant to differences.

Well, I think you have a point and I am a woman. In my house, it stays up simply because there are more guys in my house than females that use the toilet and one of those guys is a 2 year old that is potty training. Just makes life easier and it doesn't take that much to let the seat down to use it myself.

I agree with you, but we keep it closed because of our pets. I grew up with 8 brothers and they never put it down. So it is a habit for me to check it when I go in the bathroom. Never been much of an issue for me.

yes men face the toilet when using it but women walk to the toilet face first before turning around to sit down...or do you back into the restroom from the hallway like a big semi truck?

Well what if he has to do number two? I'll be doing him a favor just by letting it stay down.
