Do any of you think smashing urinals is a good idea?  Personally, I never thought of them as a symbol of male oppression.

Forgive me if this comes across as inflammatory and I'm just misunderstanding the situation, honestly it's not my intention:

I agree

While I certainly am a huge advocate for women using their voice when oppressed and angry about a particular issue be it sexism or something else, I do agree there has to be a higher purpose to whatever action is taken in protest. Smashing of urinals just seems to be a cathartic way to let out frustration but I fail to see the results driven purpose in this.

....and that was just plain stupid.

I'm getting mixed messages on this.  
It's either:

There are certainly more important symbols of male domination than the ability to pee standing up.   Don't they understand the it balances out by the fact that God, in her infinite wisdom, made erections point upward so when a guy pees with a hard on he sprays it in his own face?

There are (or were perhaps) female urinals at one time, but they fell into disuse on account of indifference to the devices.

Now it would be one thing if THE MAN had taken these away, but I don't think that's the case.

In any case, these radical sledgehammer wielders had better keep an eye on their bidets.  Think blow back, baby.

Although why these crazies want to be forced to watch men peeing is beyond me

If they are breaking urinals, it them forces men to sit, point the penis down so the piss goes in the toilet and not around the toilet seat with some even ending up on the floor.  

I just tried to verify it at snopes.com but got nothing.

How many guys sit down to pee in a toilet?  Almost none.  We pee into them standing up and most of us are such pigs we don't even put the seat up first, so you girls are sitting in our pee.  Or, if we do put the seat up we don't put it down again.  Then, when you get up in the middle of the night and sit down to pee, your poor ass plops down on cold porcelain or you just fall in.
What this actually proves is you are not only a woman but have never lived with a man.  It took my ex years to train me in proper toilet seat deployment.

I think this is nutty behavior, but I am also not buying the story. Is this a parody?

I'll plead guilty to being gullible on this one.

I'm sure others, both men and women have been to a popular public event like a ball game or concert or some such when during the break there were lines to get into the toilets. The lines were often longer for the women's rather than the men's. I've been told by women that they spend more time doing what women do other than pee. Fix hair, make up etc. I could see this be a "cause" for the ladies to pursue. MORE STALLS  for them. But WTK does smashing urinals accomplish

But we can still leave the toilet seats up, right?  You can never be too careful...
Besides, most us guys do that anyway.

...Boy I'm glad cows don't fly!

...buildings the ladies room was always the worst to clean up.

Maybe the women there aren't as sloppy?

Although, maybe co-ed bathrooms would make ladies speed it the fuck up in there...and thus, would make the lines shorter. Maybe.

When a guy leaves the toilet seat up, and then, late at night, has to return to the toilet to sh**...does he curse like a woman does "when [his] poor ass plops down on cold porcelain or [he] just fall[s] in"

It's because the line is shorter. If a chick is so desperate that she's hopping into the men's line, she has urgent needs that temporarily blind her to the smell. Phew!!!

This is why mens rooms can handle more men than women's rooms can handle women and is why the lines are shorter.

And, that's why this board is so great. I might have lived my whole life without understanding the need for and superiority of urinals over toilets.

As someone who believes in equality and fairness I say it is time women DESERVES to have urinals in their bathroom as well and not just men.

I know that there are some gals here who honestly believe theirs doesn't....but for those of "us" who have lived with women know the ugly truth  LOL

So the next dude or dudette as the case may be ends up having to sit on your pee, of course and unless the guy lifted the seat, which is not a forgone conclusion.  Also even if the guy does lift the seat, he'll forget to lower it and we all know how gals feel about that, don't we?

Guys:  Whenever you do have to tinkle over at a gal's place, or even your own place if a gal is visiting you, sit down to pee for heaven's sake.  Don't go grossing out the gal.

Unless knowledge of toilet seats and urinals is your thing.

...a valve or some such closing off during sex so pee doesn't get out and semen does. Anyway I know it's difficult to pee when I have an erection. Usually end up waiting until it goes down. However I can walk and chew gum at the same time so I'm not completely uncoordinated.

When it happens I'm not actively thrusting, I assume it's a matter of control... and I am one hundred percent certain it's pee.

No I have not lived with a man and never intend to. I hate living with another person. I will date but keep separate residences. And no way am i sitting in some dudes stale piss. The guys I know have more manners coming into my place and not dripping piss on my floor and areas on the toilet. It is lazy and rude. If they stand and make a mess, they have the manner s to clean it up. I actaully tell them...if you stand to pee, please clean up any urine that is NOT in the toilet. They do.

And the stench was overwhelming but peeing my pants would be highly uncomfortable, so I block my nose until I am done and bolt .

every mens room I have been in due to long ass lines waiting for the ladies has stunk to high heaven BECAUSE the urine that lands on the floor and walls has had a chance for the bacteria to get at it. Fresh urine is sterile and unless you are sick is not as rancid as stale urine left to the elements.

Not on the toilet or around the toilet and for Gods sake use tp to catch those drips. I have had guys take off their trousers and then their underwear to the stench of piss that has soaked into their underwear from NOT wiping the drop off their dick.  

But most of "us" have come to expect this from you.

Is that so fucking hard to do???????????????????????????

all over hells half acre and not clean it up. He can sit in my stale pee and then walk it all over the rest of his house too for good measure.

But, these are matters about which I had a decidedly one-sided and uninformed point of view. Now I have been enlightened.

But in my experience, men's bathrooms DO smell worse. The explanation I have heard is that they  miss the seat.  

I have been trained by the best. But prefer to live alone as well.

His manners are impeccable.  I think if he wants to sit down to avoid "spatteridge" at a gals place, then he doesn't HAVE to wipe off the pee.

Really?

Steph

I, on the other hand, am a pig who actually does clean up after himself. You would love me. LOL!

MR. Fisher seems to have more manners than all the rest put together. So you can now settle down.

I am well aware that men are pigs, just some are less piggish than others. I think you are way to old for me but i might at the very least tolerate you.

If a guy is hitting a seat...he just needs more practice.

That said, I am not remotely like 99.9% of guys my age. Believe it or don't.

In my case it doesn't matter because I actually clean up after myself.  I bring sponges and Mr.Clean to all outcalls.

How you live with yourself is a mystery of the universe.

I just don't don't like dirty men pissing on my toilet seat and on the floor.

mrclean=mrfisher?

And hookers have told you this? Well they really are doing their JOB awfully well. I guess I have higher standards. Unless you look like this, you're not even in the running .

You have no clue.

But not attractive.  
And, honestly, i don't look like "him" and don't want to.  If that's your male ideal you're welcome to it. I'm happy. You? I'm not so sure.

Why claim that you do this when you otherwise claim to screen so well?

And is realizing that her career here is on the downside.

That was possibly the studipest post I have read on TER.
Breaking a urinal forces a man to sit and pee???
WTF??
Please tell me that was a joke.  

and her exhortation for guys to wipe up their pee if they insist on standing rather than sitting is not unreasonable, and in any case I didn't see it as directed at me in the first place.

And I have no qualms about being referred to as a dirty old man in the first place.  I am 62 after all.

Nevertheless, thank you Stephanie for your loyalty.  It means everything to me.  By the way, everyone who has seen Norman's book* (prominently displayed on my bay window's sill) has loved it.

*How to Act Like a Man:  Photos of a cute little doggie showing us guys what the gals expect of us.  

I've met him so I can vouch.

We met in fact at my marriage to Bev, er Morgan Fairchild, yeah, it was Morgan I think.

Oh, by the way, people have told Inicky and me that we look like identical twins, only my dick is a bit longer.

I put the seat down before I sit down. There may have been the rare occasion that I have forgot to, when awaking while inebriated and fell in. There is also the possibility while awaking inebriated that I forgot to lift the lid, before urinating on it. Now I really couldn't recall for sure, because I would have been half asleep and intoxicated.

And I wasn't yelling at you, just being emphatic and the dirty was this...if they are pissing on my seat and floor and NOT cleaning it up they are DIRTY. It takes common sense which for a few here is NOT common, to understand.

Tell you that you are old...and you are, I am angry? I am very happy and the other truth is I do get paid to fuck old and unattractive. A fact.    

I said IF, I was not advocating it was smart or right. The premise behind the smashing is not something I care about or support.  

And a separate bathroom for each gender since men cannot seem to piss in a toilet but on it and around it as well. So I do not advocate smashing urinals, I am for more of them.

Why are bidets and bidet attachments for toilets so rarely found in American culture?  Why is using a quarter roll of toilet paper effectively smearing and spreading the mess preferable to 20 - 40 seconds of a stream of water rinsing one far more hygienically and with zero effort or discomfort?

We laughed, and laughed until we figured out the toilet paper was in the stalls.
I had shit all over my butt cheeks that night..

that required a snarky response?  You thought I was serious?  Sheesh!
Actually, I do think I'm rather good looking, and because of my excellent conditioning and grooming most people think I'm 10 to 15 years younger than I am.  If I'm not your type, I really don't care because we will never meet.
Just generally, h+t, I think I've been fairly supportive of your views and haven't gotten into any tiffs with you I can recall. But I will observe that, despite your protestations to the contrary on this thread, your posts of late seem angrier and more disdainful than ever when discussing the men you see.  I have no idea what's going on in your life but hope things improve soon and it affects your attitude regarding half of humanity.  The half that pays your bills.

I'm sure that with some more government assistance, some LINK cards and some begging, all of her future dreams will be fulfilled  

PS: Your mother is hobbyist+truth and now she will never again let you in her home.

You like being a snarky ass, you said so somewhere on this page. I thought you'd see my retorts as something similar...I guess not...oh well.  

These pictures, taken of my and my Tica de Jour, recently in the Pacific in Jaco, Costa Rica.
As to the rest, it reeks of pot=kettle=black.

Never mind that we don't see eye to eye Nick. What transpires between me and my guys is as anonymous to you as what transpires between you and your dates. I am sure we conduct ourselves well or you'd be jerking off a lot and I would not have that extra money
