Yeah, I'd probably like to work somewhere nice. But I think I'm just too smart for my own good...

www.usnews.com "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, 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. Strangely, in the US this cause has an unlikely supporter in Nite-Man, a menial worker in mental healthcare. "After a string of broken relationships with both male and female partners, - says Nite-Man, who lives alone in Boston, - I hope this sitting while urinating will help me to find a soulmate who likes how I do it."
