As a trans woman I never liked public bathrooms before transitioning. I've rarely ever used urinals and peeing while standing seems always messier, even if outdoors. In a toilet stall where you can sit, you can always also use toilet paper. (And especially with a penis you don't have to sit down completely, you can squat over the seat of it is too dirty.) When peeing while standing don't you all get a bit of pee in your underpants?? And people who pee standing while on a toilet with a seat (be it at home or visiting someone) are just disgusting. And I don't know any fellow Germans who stand while peeing at home. One generation up it was still very different. I guess this is one of the outcomes of feminism that taught cis men to be responsible for their own mess. If you never had to clean your urine of the toilet or floor you had hardly any incentive to pay attention. Glad this has somewhat changed.

100% of the time, if you pee standing up and the pee lands within about a meter of you (you're not peeing off a cliff or off the side of a boat, etc), you will get splashback on your body and clothes. Every single time. It's simple physics.

No?

And there’s nothing disgusting about peeing to stand at home? That sounds more like a cultural problem such as being circumcised or the toilet shape/how much water the bowl has which varies by country.

It’s heaps pretentious to say it’s a feminism thing because I clean my house and have zero issue with the toilet or mess made from standing.
