Traditional Japanese toilets require squatting from both men and women. I steer clear of them because I have bad balance but they are pretty economical. ^_^

So what do you women think of urinals for women? Will it be the solution to the long lines on the women's side? Equality in restrooms- urinals for women. I'm going to do a survey at the Oregon Country Fair. Look for me there, and have fun.

I don’t see how that would be faster for women. They would still want their own stall…

The women's urinal they are doing at the Oregon Country Fair is a long trough that water runs through that the women straddle, so it cannot be put in stalls.

From the article:

One argument is that if women can’t do it, then men shouldn’t either. Another is that standing upright while relieving oneself is “a nasty macho gesture,” suggestive of male violence. A feminist group at Stockholm University is campaigning to ban all urinals from campus,...

Feminists and/or busybody women with major cases of penis envy. Good christ who gives a damn about how someone pisses as long as they aren't pissing in their pants ?

What idiocy.

I'd much rather you kept them HERE, and sent ME to the Moon.

I've been looking for a way out for years now.

Did it ever occur to these people that men would simply stand and pee into the toilet? Taking away urinals doesn't force me to sit. I never sit down to pee here at my home, and I don't have a urinal. Will there be pee police standing outside my stall ready to give me a ticket if they hear me pee standing up?!
