"From a design standpoint...." Oh? Not sure I would agree with that one. "Women tend to pee more often than men do..." Is this a scientific fact? In additon, would you say the same if there were more males than females in the household? You are assuming a one to one relationship! "If only one person--the man--is in charge of seat adjustment, there'll be less role confusion." That one went completely over my "head" "IF by some chance the guy has missed, and hit the seat, well then HE can be the one to touch it." Real men don't miss! Bill

1. From a design standpoint, the seat is meant to be kept down. Actually from a design standpoint the seat is designed to be bi-stable. While it is true that there are often no decorative elements on the bottom side of the seat, most quality industrial designs take seat bottom aesthetics into account. This is in fact how you can distinguish the very best when shopping for toilet seats. Quality workmanship makes the difference. Look at the bottom side. Run your fingers over it carefully feeling for any tooling or die marks that may have marred the seat during manufacture. When you have found one that is as smooth as a baby's backside on the bottom side of the seat, you know you are holding a real quality product that will give you years of faithful comfort. But anyway, getting back to my point, it is this bi-stable arrangement that is the ultimate proof that a seat is designed to be both up and down. I wonder if this argument isn't floated, to just confuse things. I have discovered that there is a women's underground movement with regard to this issue. In fact I have discovered that they even have adapted a Frank Sinatra favorite to their purpose. I believe that it goes like this: Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep Just direct your seat to the sunny side of the seat. Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune as you sat Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the seat
