I mean penis has obvious advantages, like piss-aim and not bleeding. Also looks funny. But what does the vagina have? Like seriously???

I don't think you've ever been in mens restroom, piss everywhere

That's because of the handler, not the hardware. It doesn't matter if 9 of us are perfect pissers if a tenth person stops by and sprays the entire stall.

Women, by contrast, are polite enough to only get piss all over the toilet seat

Not true, sometimes it's on the walls and ceilings too

This is what I don't get as a janitor myself. I have never had to clean piss or shit off anything but the floor and toilets in the men's room. In the women's room, it's all over the walls and sometimes the ceiling. How?! It's gotta be way harder to aim, which makes it feel like it's being done on purpose.

I'd guess they don't want to sit on the toilet seat and put their shoesolesnon the ring and crouch. Combine that with being extremely drunk... Easy to lose your balance.

It takes a lot of talent and willpower

(Or so I imagine)

From accounts I've heard from janitors, women's bathrooms are typically worse. Sure, men's bathrooms can have urine on the floor, but that's easy enough to clean up since you're mopping anyways. Some women tend to hover over public toilets, so they end up getting urine, poop, and period discharge all over the toilet and adjacent area. And of course, you're going to have disgusting people in both bathrooms that do things just to make someone else's life harder.

I used to bartend and had to clean bathrooms after close. Can confirm, the women's bathroom took longer to clean.

I frequently use them because im indistinguishable from males sometimes. Although I only use the hand washing feature.

Understandable, we have some nice options to choose from. No idea why they're not in all bathrooms, to be honest.

An image showing a variety of options for cleaning oneself in the whiz palace.  Some may not be serious suggestions.

As someone who's used both, I think men's and women's restrooms are equally gross overall. Humans is humans, bodies is bodies, grossness doesn't discriminate, etc.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

As someone that has to clean them during my job. Guys bathrooms are generally dirtier. Guys just don't know how to aim and for some reason the majority of them refuse to sit down.
