God I love that someone is doing actual analysis on this question that my mom and sisters constantly harangued me about as a kid.

@scuttlebutt @mlanger @kboyd this is actually what eventually killed the debate at my house. Not about which gender has to touch the toilet, but about the health aspects

@kboyd @mlanger exactly. And that’s why women need to lift the seat back up after they pee.
I don’t see any way “men should do all the work” is the right answer unless you just think men should do the work. I can see why, sometimes, but everyone acts like there’s some objective reason, as opposed to just… they think men should do the work.
I’ve been having this argument for nearly 40 years, and I assume you’re just as set in your opinion.

@lkanies Yes, quite. The default state is down, because everybody poops. And some people poop more urgently than others.

@scuttlebutt @kboyd @lkanies Yes, I think closing the lid is a good idea. The only time it's not a good idea is if the toilet seat is made of painted wood. (The old ones were made that way; I recently was in a place that had a wood one.) When you close the lid, moisture builds up under the lid seat and the wood absorbs it. I think that's worse than some aerosol from flushing.
