Women should blame toilet designers not men for the mess.

Toilets should be much more pee-standing-up-friendly, period.

Well, I have to say something here...

Unfortunately MEN are usually pretty naive about the problems they cause when they take a leak. Yeah, you see MEN don't realy give a hoot about the fact that "it SPLATTERS all over - including the floor". 🙁

I myself was unaware of these problems until I started working with a female engineer. She explained to ...[text shortened]... er point.

So what's my official opinion? Guys need to clean up after themselves... period.
My wife told me to clean up any splatter as well, I find cat fur is very absorbent. If you don't have a cat it is just as easy to go off the deck while having a cup of coffee and a smoke.

There are products available that allow females to urinate a la male, but who would want to put it in one's purse after use?
Anyways, it's all about power; if that female can brag about how well-trained her darling hubby is in front of strangers, and try to co-erce you into becoming a setter rather than a pointer, then she has *issues*
EDIT OOPs replying to two different posts here ...

Usually I can wait for the soldier to be "at ease" before heading to relieve myself but more often than not, I must perform a little forceful bending and contorting to properly aim my (usually wayward) stream. To have to do this sitting down would be, in my mind, an unbearable inconvenience.
that's why they made sinks

Have you ever said or heard this sentence?

As if putting the toilet rim d ...[text shortened]... to do what we were MADE to do standing up!!!

A little respect should be shown!

From a mathematical standpoint, it is women who should have to put the seat down for themselves. Let's assume that there is approximately the same amount of men and women and men have to crap 20% of the time.

If a man uses the toilet and leaves the seat up, then there is a 60% chance that the next person will have to change it (100% if the next is a women and 20% if the next is a man). Average # of changes from when a man is done, until when someone else prepares the toilet= 1*0 (the first guy doesn't do anything) + .2(seat was left down)*1*.4 + .8(seat was left up)*1*.6= .56 changes

But if the man puts it down himself even though there is only a 40% chance that the next person will have to change it, him putting it down was probably a change itself (unless he crapped). 0*.2 + 1*.8 + 1*.4 + 0*.6 = 1.2 changes on average in the same time period

So having the women put down the seat will lead to less changes.
