The old Tiger Stadium in Detroit had those troughs. They were so iconic someone actually stole one and managed to get out of the stadium with it during the last game ever played.

This is a metaphor for the way males are being emasculated in the West.

It’s one thing to sit down to pee in your own home.

I would NEVER do so in a nasty public men’s room.

Disgusting.

No urinal equals the bar length, tiled, floor urinal I saw at an old bar in Mexico as a kid.

You never left the bar to pee, you leaned on the bar, and peed at the bar.

Some members of the public might object.

If they didn't plan on installing stand up urinals then I would say that there was some...
ahem...'piss poor' planning by the designers when the building was in its design phase.

Swedish men sit when they pee? Good thing the Vikings aren’t around to see this happen.

You fail Manhood 101 if your wife makes you pee sitting down.

Or hold her purse at the mall.

This is all a bunch of Leftists brainless irrational hogwash that seeks to control every possible aspect of everyone's life, demand conformity, and force everyone into the same mold. These people are all fools!

Their arguments are spurious. Their agenda has nothing to do with hygeine and everything to do with forcing everyone into the same mold.

It's an excellent example of how Leftists preach one thing but intend, practice, and produce the opposite. In this case they think they are liberal, but they are closed-minded; they think they love "diversity" but they demand conformity. They think they are free thinking, but they demand the opposite of freedom. They claim to promote hygeine, but their results will produce the opposite.

"The party said sit-down urination is more hygienic and reduces the risk of bathroom users having to negotiate their way around puddles en route to the toilet."
WRONG!

Sitting on toilet seats exposes the buttocks, the backs of the thighs, and the genitals, especially male genitals, to contamination by fecal/enteric microorganisms, including salmonella, shigella, amoebiasis, hepatitis A virus, and many others.

When a man sits on a toilet, his genitals hang into the toilet bowl. Sometimes they actually dangle into the toilet water. When feces fall into the water, the water splashes on his hanging genitals. When the toilet is flushed the water splashes on his genitals and the surrounding skin, including the backs of his thighs and his buttocks.

The same thing happens to women, though to the genitals to a less extent since they do not actually dangle into the toilet bowl.

When the person pulls up clothes over the buttocks, genitals, et al., the insides of the clothes become contaminated.

There is no alternative to this procedure where women are concerned; however standing for urination is FAR MORE HEIGENIC where men are concerned.

When standing to urinate, a man can completely avoid such contamination inasmuch as only his penis is exposed, and it is held high above the water of the toilet or urinal so that splashing on it is minimal to nonexistent. It is possible that splashing can contaminate the fronts of his trousers unless he is quite careful.

The chances of contamination of men by enteric pathogens is FAR LESS LIKELY WHEN THEY STAND TO URINATE.

When a man or woman sits to defecate, which is unavoidable, contamination is unavoidable.

For these OBVIOUS AND VERY GOOD REASONS, FOR A MAN, STANDING TO URINATE IS FAR MORE HYGENIC AND SAFE THAN SITTING!

For these very good reasons--I ALWAYS shower after defecation when it is all all possible. Everyone should.

And I NEVER make love to my wife unless I have showered since the last defecation and am squeeky clean, hygenic, and read for love!

"The supporters of the motion said sitting during urination also has medical benefits, including reducing the risk of prostate problems and leading to a healthier and longer sex life."
BALONEY!
"Viggo Hansen...wants it eventually to lead to sitting only bathrooms."
If so, Viggio Hansen is a FOOL!

Are these morons going to install cameras to make sure the men don't stand up when the door is closed???

Better training with conceal-carry would improve aim, but I refuse to get a permit.

Always sit at home. Never at a public restroom.

And I ALWAYS was my hands when through.

Well being 6’6” (5’18” I usually answer) it is a mess trying to aim.

Just raise the damn toilets up so they’re not only for midgets.

You’re a male freeper who SITS when he urinates??? I’m so innocent I didn’t even believe it was possible for a guy to do this - unless he enjoys falling into the toilet bowl.

This is not my world...
