What really is the most equitable toilet seat arrangement between men and women.

Men decided to give women this short end of the stick eons ago, and we still don't adhere to the agreement.....Just let her have dominion over the toilet set.

Doesn't seem right. If it was a man continually forcing this behavior over years it would be championed as manipulative and misogynistic behavior. Just because  4+ decades ago women had little to no rights I'm just supposed to accept their total control of the bathroom even in 2022? Sure I admit that's honestly an easy enough ting for me to do anyway, but this is how manipulation and gender inequality starts is it not I mean...

Well this was just now brought to my attention. I'm not sure how to feel honestly. If I've accepted this one instance of gender inequality as a social norm then who even knows how many more instances are looming in the background of my daily life?

Well, I'm just saying this seems much less an inequality issue and more a domestic one....Like if you want her to keep cooking your meals, you should at least protect her fanny from toilet water.  It just seems like a weird battle to invoke because some dude who went to "SleevesByGeorgiaO'keeffe" brought up some minor thing to make an equality issue.

Girls don't like touching the toilet seat because it's gross, so they make men do it even though women have to wash their hands every time after going pee and men don't since we don't have to wipe or touch our junk.

They rather make us pick up and put the seat down and walk around all day with unwashed toilet seat hands than for them to simply do it immediately before they're about to wash their hands anyway. Doesn't seem right.

What the fuck is this stupid fucking shit?

The youtuber in the op is just trolling obviously, as a regular viewer of his I know 98% of his content is sarcasm and irony, but apparently he recieved a lot of hilarious gen z backlash in tik tok comments so he made an even more facetious response video.

I live alone so I just leave it up because lazy. 

I will admit though, it gets really annoying when I have to take a dump and run to the toilet, plopping down only for my ass to land directly on the toilet. So gross.. and then the whole movement is ruined!

But on the other hand, if I did not live alone I would most certainly put the seat and lid down whether it is for a man or a woman. It is just polite and hygienic. I always put it down when I have company over too.

I know he was joking but sitting down is the best way to go as it's more hygienic.

I started doing this a year or so ago. Between doing this and putting the lid down before flushing, my toilet remains cleaner for longer.

So ... when I sneak in the men's room to pee at work. I be like .... should prolly just put it back up...

 

 

But then I see how dirty that fucking thing so I put it back down to hide the dried pee stains 

 

But I guess it doesn't matter 

Sneaking to use a men's room seems like the most counter productive thing ever...

I mean, I've heard horror stories from the women's br, but I think it rather deal with blood than piss and poo on everything

When I was the on-call mgr at a store in Chicago, I was called to the layaway area where they told me a customer complained about the women's restroom.  After verifying that nobody was in there, I had them buzz me in and it looked as if someone exploded - it was all over the floor, the toilet, the stall walls...I told the people at layaway not to let anyone else in there.

I knew the lone stockman had been busting his tail that day with carry-outs & other things, so I went and filled a roller bucket with hot water & cleaner, grabbed some towels and a mop and headed over there.

When I got there and had them buzz me in, THE PLACE WAS COMPLETELY CLEAN.  I checked with the people at layaway & nobody 'fessed to letting anyone in.  I asked the stockman & he said he was in the garden center area loading a customer's car.

Restroom angels are real!

So, 4-5 years ago, before I was able to transition into a long term professional career, I managed at a pizza and sub restaurant. Our lobby and restroom were a little oddly situated though. You see, the main lobby with the counter, kitchen and eating area was inset within an outer lobby that contained the bathrooms. So the bathrooms were beyond a wall and door and it was hard to 'monitor' them. Not that bathrooms should have to be monitored. 

Our restaurant was also located a block away from a homeless and recovery center (not disparaging the needy, I made friends with many of them and we would always give extra food to them and the shelter), so we would have a lot of their foot traffic coming in the store. 

It was a daily occurrence for some of them to come into the bathroom and use it to bathe themselves in the sinks and toilets. The ones with addiction issues would go there to get high and we would find needles, stems, etc. everywhere in there. Every couple weeks someone would go in there and play with their feces, smearing it all over the walls. God I hated whoever that fucker or fuckers was. We never caught the person or persons doing it but when it happened, I always felt too bad to let one of the kids go and clean it up, so I always got stuck with it.

There was another time where this very large woman barricaded herself in the ladies room and overdosed. She was not breathing and basically dying. I was the one who had to go in there and get her off the toilet while on the phone with 911 while the rest of my staff just watched me. Luckily the paramedics showed up and were able to giver her Narcan. Literally 20 seconds after giving her the Narcan she shot up with eyes wide opening asking where her stash was haha.

Believe it or not, that is not even close to the craziest thing that has happened at that place while I was there but looking back, God I hated that place. Your bathroom story reminded me of my bathroom story so I felt compelled to share haha rant over!

We only have 2 toilets for staff. The patient bathrooms be nasty AF and it's only like 3 men that work there. Much faster to use the men's room than waiting 

I wipe down everything when I leave, no matter if it's dirty or not .... but I'm not cleaning a toilet seat that's not mine. I'll replace the toilet paper on the roll but that's it.

Meh, there are times especially during the holidays where the ladies at my store ends up with crowds so we would annex the mens for at least 10 minutes just to clear the damn place. Either I or a clerk would stand guard outside the mens and funnel people through there. They both have baby changing stations anyway so it's just faster for everyone.

I dread the notion that I ever have to sit while not home....even if they hat Clorox and cleaner Ng rags in the stall, I'd still be apprehensive, even after cleaning it myself....

But then again, of it's a situation where I can't hold it, I don't have time to clean anyway.

Another thing about men's rooms is I make sure my shoes are tied and tucked into my shoe before entering, because if my lances drag in pee, I might just discard the whole shoe.
