Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased...

People of the penile persuasion can sit while peeing. It is very easy to do.

It comes with the risk of contamination or infection if you’re well endowed.

do such people also have to poop while standing?

Analyze the form factor of toilet. Is it one of those round ones that’s sized for potty-training a child? Emergencies only. The bowl deep enough and water low enough? Push dick down with one hand, hope Poseidon doesn’t kiss your willy. Stand up far to wipe, don’t sit down too fast. Try not to piss under the seat.

Prefer to avoid public restrooms for shits, stand up to pee.

Very silly post. Reactionary gender war nonsense. Everyone can and does and should sit down, that’s why it’s unisex. It’s not that complicated.

There’s better things to hitch your identity and ego to than the way your dad told you to piss.

This is a shit take literally. Why would I sit down to pee if I don’t have to? That’s more contact with the gross toilet.

Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?

You have never had to clean a toilet yourself, have you?

I have. Men with bad aim. Skill issue.

One possible fix is adding a urinal target. I’m sure you could implement a similar concept in a regular toilet.

A urinal target, sometimes known by the specific types urinal fly or urinal bee, is an image or mark placed inside a urinal to encourage users to aim in a particular place so as to avoid messes and reduce cleaning costs.

If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.

Perfect aim still splatters small droplets all around. Try placing a newspaper next to your toilet.

As a guy please leave it up, when I need to poop I really don’t want to sit on a seat with pee splatter all over. If it’s really unisex I think most women rather put it down than sit on a wet toiletseat.

Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it’s true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?

Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.

Why does it matter how it’s left when you’re done? All that matters is lifting it when you pee.

Ok this is actually a great point, and I’d like to pose another question. If you’re gonna pee standing up with the lid open, what’s the optimal angle to minimize splatter? I would love to see an experiment or simulation to find the optimal angle.

Well yeah, but way too many lazy guys just pee.

Okay, that’s gross. It wouldn’t even occur to me to not lift the seat first.

I only piss in sinks and showers. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.

The gentlemanly thing would be to keep it in your pants, like I do.

Thats a spicy take. You know the seat being down is more than convenience, right? It’s extremely unhygienic to flush an open toilet let alone the dangers of small children falling in. I recognize a public space is less likely to have a child small enough and unattended to worry significantly about.

We live in a society and all that. Personal responsibility only works if you err on the side of caution. If there is a default setting to a toilet seat and cover it would be down and closed. Otherwise, why put one on at all.
