I just got into this argument some 10 minutes ago, here in the office, there is only 1 girl in the whole floor.

And she used that word :/

I'm not even sure i know what it means anymore

 

[pigeon]

Generally it's just rude.

 

[BronsonLee]

That..is not the word I would use in that situation, no

Generally it's just rude.

Even this is a stretch

 

[Malvolio]

Anyone that leaves the lid up has no right to complain.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I wouldn't go that far. It's more inconsiderate than anything else.

 

[trifelife]

This is Jezebel's fault.

 

[Wiktor]

the seat? No. It should be left up. Or do you want to piss all over where girls will be sitting?

 

[Jonnax]

I've never heard of this. Does closing the lid completely mean you hate everyone?

 

[SJRB]

Absurd. Who cares what position the toilet seat is?

Why is this even a thing?

 

[Yawnier]

Uh No

 

[Zapperkhan]

My mom complained like twice and then I just always closed the lid. Same effort for everyone then.

 

[Cuphead]

Is putting the seat down is anti-men?

 

[Deified Data]

Whether you're a man or woman, do what needs to be done to the toilet in order for you to comfortably use it and go about your business. The world owes you nothing. It takes one second and you're going to (hopefully) wash your hands anyway.

 

[Darklord]

Someone in your office doesn't know what misogyny means.

 

[FuuRe]

Whenever you get into an argument with a woman think of it as finding a bear in the wild.

Play dead until she gets bored and leaves

 

[captainnapalm]

Unfortunately there's a strong correlation between people who use the word misogyny and people who have no idea what it means. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

I have a tiny bladder. I go pee way more than anyone else in my house that needs the seat down to use it does. I leave the seat up out of sheer convenience.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

No more than leaving it down is misandry, I guess.

Spoiler

That sounds absurd right? So is what this chick apparently said.

 

[kaioshade]

inconsiderate? yes. misogynistic? no

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

It annoys me as a dude walking into the bathroom to take a shit but the seat is up. The person who puts it up should put it down, I don't want to touch the seat with my hands or do karate to put it down with my foot.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Whenever someone says "it's this easy to put it down", do they fail to realize it's just as easy for them to do it? That's why I just piss in the sink now.

 

[NekoFever]

I don't even understand how this is an issue. If it's down and I need it up, I lift it. If it's up and I need it down, I put it down. It takes a second and anyone can do it. It's not hard.

 

[ishibear]

It's inconsiderate.

 

[Guevara]

This is why in my house I've just taken off the lid and the seat completely.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

That's why you use your foot....

 

[Phrozenflame500]

There are people who don't instinctively make sure the seat is down before they sit?

 

[Wiktor]

Whenever someone says "it's this easy to put it down", do they fail to realize it's just as easy for them to do it? That's why I just piss in the sink now.

And? All this means it that nobody should give a shit (lol) if it's up or not.

 

[Reversed]

A bit of a stretch

Having a pedal on the toilet seat would end such debate.

 

[.GqueB.]

It's a forgetful act is all it is. I doubt you stare at the seat and say "...I'm gonna leave this up... that'll show em".

EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A THING.

Goddamnnit.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Is putting the seat down is anti-men?

I kind of wonder if this device is though

[Forearms]

I keep the lid down when the toilet isn't in use. No reason to have it hanging wide open - especially if you just took a huge dump that left some streaks in the bottom of the toilet...

 

[Always-honest]

Does she put it up again when she leaves the toilet? Since she's the only female There.
Cause them females can leave some disgusting stuff on the seat and under the seat (blood from tampons that scrape the litt). And when we raise it, we touch that.


Hehe, nah i always lower the seat. I'm a pleaser.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Someone with a Mortal Kombat avatar will be alone shortly to tell let you know.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I never lift the seat when I pee.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

You know what? I didn't have a toilet seat for like two years because I couldn't afford one! Those people should be happy they even have a toilet seat to put down!

 

[radios shipping overview]

You put it down if you live with someone who requests it, or you get into arguments.

 

[Renzoku]

Only if leaving it down is misandry.

I like how misogyny is in the auto-correct dictionary, but misandry isn't.

 

[Broder Salsa]

And? All this means it that nobody should give a shit (lol) if it's up or not.

That is my point.

 

[themidnightsun156]

its forgetful, maybe even inconsiderate, but she needs to take some incentive to look at the fucking seat before she sits down, personally before i sit on a public toilet i get some paper towels, put soap on them and then i clean the seat,

 

[Cuphead]

I kind of wonder if this device is though

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...old-they-can-no-longer-stand-and-deliver.html

This is terrible, standing while pissing is one of the most substantial joys in life.

 

[Wiktor]

This seems like such a stupid device. All it would do is make me piss all over the seat. How is that not worse?

 

[Enduin]

It's common courtesy sure, but I always found the logic behind the general argument as to why a man should put it down to be stupid. If it's such a simple task for a man to lift the seat and put it back down when done, then why is such a huge burden on women to put the seat down when they go to use it?

The only real good argument as to why it's a man's responsibility is if you agree with the idea that the seat's natural position is down so when they put it up it's their job to put it back to how it should be. Other than that though it's just stupid bullshit and it's certainly not misogyny to leave it up. If it was that would probably be one of the lamest and weakest acts of misogyny you could come up with.

 

[Azuran]

Pee with the toilet seat down and then blame it on crappy aim if someone ever finds out. At least the seat it's still down so no one can complain about that.

 

[Xenon]

I wouldn't go that far. It's more inconsiderate than anything else.

True, but it doesn't make that scream in the middle of the night any less hilarious.

 

[God Dayumm]

Pee on the seat next time

 

[ishibear]

It's helpful to put the seat and lid down because things can also fall INTO the toilet when the lid isn't down.

Think of the poor victims of toilet phone. Give a hoot and put the lid down folks.

Now THIS is misogyny.
