An excerpt


Now sit, Ingvar, sit.


 Young women in Sweden, Germany, and Australia have a new cause: They want

men to sit down while urinating. This demand comes partly from concerns
about

hygiene- avoiding the splash factor- but, as Jasper Gerard reports in the

English Spectator, "more crucially because a man standing up to urinate is

deemed to be triumphing in his masculinity, and by extension, degrading

women." One argument is that if women can't do it, then men shouldn't
either.

Another is that standing upright while relieving oneself is "a nasty macho

gesture," suggestive of male violence.

A feminist group at Stockholm

University is campaigning to ban all urinals from campus, and one Swedish

elementary school has already removed them. In Australia, an Internet
survey

shows that 17 percent of those polled think men ought to sit, while 70

percent believe they should be allowed to stand. Some Swedish women are

pressuring their men to take a stand, so to speak. Yola, a 25-year-old

Swedish trainee psychiatrist, says she dumps boyfriends who insist on

standing. "What else can I do?" said her new boyfriend, Ingvar, who sits.

Maybe if a guy has to sit to do his thing, then he isn't a guy, or is so politically 
correct that he's going to take orders from women ... maybe he's just a wimp.  Maybe 
what this is really about is pure penis envy.  Maybe next they'll want men to shave 
their legs, what bullshit.
