I’ve always maintained that if the feminists had their way, little boys would have to squat to pee. OTOH, being NOT a little boy, and quite lazy when it come to housekeeping and other things, I always sit to pee on the theory that why should one do something standing up when it can be done sitting down…
Either way someone’s going to have to move that seat. Either that or the women are going to have to hope that the last man in there didn’t simply point and hope…
But cabbies from certain unnamed countries pee standing up while the seat is down! In such restrooms the proper position of the seat is up, unless persons of either sex enjoy wiping the seat. Eeeww! Gross!
Be an adult. It isn’t hard. If you want it up, put it up. If you want it down, put it down. If you women like it down, put it down before sitting. Not really difficult.
Maybe, just maybe everyone should be respectful of others and not leave a biohazard let alone a mess. It ain’t difficult to keep the bathroom clean but it’s a royal pain to clean it up after some moron so one and all, please don’t be an a**. BTW cute cartoon.
Everyone should leave the seat and the lid down. It’s only fair that women should have to do the extra step too, and it’s more attractive, and cats like to sit on the lid.
In the interest of efficiency leave it wherever it is when you are done. There’s a 50% chance it will be right for the next person. Why put it down and just have the next person have to put it back up again. Makes no sense.
First, why do they make seats and lids for toilets if people don’t use them? Personally I like the lid (and seat) down on the toilets in my house. Secondly, there are usually urinals for men in public restrooms, so very few times do they need to use the toilet for #1, thus no need to lift the seat (that usually has a split anyway) and if you do lift it PUT IT BACK DOWN, out of common courtesy. The unisex restrooms I used while in Oregon had both sets of fixtures.
I am a woman, and I’ve never hovered. I can’t speak for every other woman on the planet, of course, but then, I have always been uncomfortable with blanket statements; they smack of an -ism (in this case, sexism).
Just for everyone who wants the lid down as well: that’s great in some climates, but in humid areas, that can lead to some nastiness growing in the bowl. So some places it’s fine to use the lid, others, it’s gonna make things get real bad.

I saw a questionnaire once about leaving the seat up. This was the scoring:
If you leave the seat up: -20 points.
If you always put it back down: 0 points.

Do unisex bathrooms not have urinals? If men only use the actual toilets while sitting down themselves, this becomes a non issue.

If the toilet has a lid, put it down. That’s what it’s there for, and everybody has to opne/close it when they use it.

Well, do women lift the seat when they’re done, just in case the next occupant is a man?
It bothers me that women actually sit on the toilet without looking at the seat first. Why would you do that?
