A headline in today's 'Telegraph' describes the major row which has broken out in Norway about a school headmistress who is trying to ban boys from peeing standing up!

Another sign of approaching Armageddon, or a brave attempt to further the cause of feminism?

Nice summary.

"The headmistress, Anne Lise Gjul, wrote to parents suggesting they teach their sons to pee in a seated position, following complaints from cleaners that the boys were missing the target."

Sounds more like she made a suggestion than attempted to ban anything.

My Goodness- those scandy blokes are whipped already- imagine how much worse it will get if they're not even allowed pee like blokes from age 4. 🙁 Poor them!

Oh I'm sorry, should I not have actually presented real information in one of your threads?

Real infornation? You specialise in disinformation and slander.

I quoted the article in question which states, contrary to what you claimed, that the headmistress asked that the boys either quit pissing on the floor/seat or sit down (in nicer words).

Boys will probably stop pissing everywhere around the same day they're gonna start washing their hands after using the toilet.

That famous day...

But you still haven't the guts to post here all the details of your scurrilious charge of 'cheating' against a former player (which you say you have submitted to the game moderators but of which they say they know nothing).

That isn't a story of feminism versus masculinity as the Telegraph absurdly claims - the real question is why boys are pissing in lavatories rather than urinals in the first place. Maybe the Headteacher needs to spend public money a little bit more sensibly in future.

"The Norwegian media have discussed little else since." I must have been asleep for the last few weeks. I hadn't heard about it at all. So I searched a bit in some online newspapers and at NRK (state-owned television and radio) and found some short articles from September 26 and 27 (NRK had one article in the district news). That's all.

The part of the article Xanthos quoted was wrong as well, though. The note the parents got actually said "Snakk om dette hjemme, og guttene SKAL sitte og tisse på skolen", which means "Talk about this at home, and the boys SHALL sit when they pee at school".

However, what I find most surprising about the whole thing is that they don't have separate toilets for boys and girls at that school. So I agree with Amaurote that the school should spend some money on the bathrooms.
