There's this completely arbitrary notion that "real men" stand up to pee. Whether someone does or not doesn't affect anyone else's life. Sometimes, there are decent reasons for sitting (e.g. tired, don't want to make a mess, don't want to turn on the lights, etc.) And yet, we have more than a few people who have strong opinions that men should always stand.
Even worse, some of those opinions are based on the fear that a boy who does otherwise will be tormented by other boys who are enforcing this completely arbitrary cultural norm. Rather than regarding those other boys as the problem, the advice is that it's simply bad parenting not to get your kid to conform.

It would just be nice if people would open their minds and get to grips with the good feeling a true evacuation can bring.
No, dumb ass, that is NOT what a shower drain is for. It isn't going down that drain unless you smash it down with your feet. I'd kick you ass if you pulled that shit in my house.

I DO find it odd that some men wipe standing up, after they poop. Some women too. As a regular habit. These must be the same people that replace the toilet paper 'under' instead of 'over."
Bah, sitting and wiping? No way. The angle and leverage are all wrong.
