Comments? A: Given that it’s easy for me to pee without a funnel, why in god’s name should I wish to aquire one? (Am I supposed to carry such a thing around with me? Or would they be handed out at the door of the restroom? Oh, ick.)

and B: What does this have to do with whether or not we have seperate bathrooms? I can use a men’s room now, if I have to (as long as I manage to supress my shock and horror at the sight of a urinal as I go past.) And men can obviously use women’s bathrooms (I haven’t noticed a urinal in the bathroom at home.) No, I think we have seperate toilets for other reasons.

This is an outrage! Against nature! The reason God didn’t give women penises is so they couldn’t stand up while peeing! Is nothing sacred?
