“Sitting is the new smoking”.

In the 1970’s the feminists agitated for a different form of potty parity. They pointed out that men stand to urinate while women sit & this of course was just another component of male dominance that had to be destroyed.

Feminists demanded that urinals be removed from mens’ rooms across the nation. Federal legislation was introduced in Congress under the motto “Number one is all right, but don’t stand for it”. The bill’s sponsors, Edward Kennedy & George McGovern, introduced the bill in the Senate but insisted upon sitting down while they did so.

However, Cong. Bella Abzug had already introduced a bill in the House mandating public facilities that allow women to urinate while standing up; as a result the drive for urinary equality was hopelessly deadlocked, & both bills later died in committee.

Everything old is new again.
