  It damn well shouldn’t be. But there are dudes who won’t even wipe they own ass cause they’re afraid to catch the gay.

    Literally everybody is missing the point that’s it’s a sex problem, not gender. So many whooshes in here.

      And it shouldn’t be a gender or sex issue. I’m a cis-het dude, and I put it down all the time cause I don’t want the water spraying out when I flush.

        Sure. But I was directly replying to OP originally, and the way it was phrased.

  You’re right. It’s a “people who listen” vs “people who don’t listen” thing.

  It just so happens that on average, women are much better at listening than men.

    And they won’t shut up about it⸮

    This argument requires you to presume that a certain position is already right, and then commands you to conform to that position. It isn’t an argument, it’s an imposition.

      Putting the lid down is right.

      I don’t care whether YOU conform to it, in the same way I don’t care if YOU return shopping carts, or if YOU tip your waitstaff. I don’t have the energy to enforce that everyone do everything right. But someone in your life wishes you would.

  Or course it is, not exclusively, but largely and often.

    You’re missing the point. It’s a back and forth between sexes, not a gender thing.

      It always starts with a woman complaining things aren’t always how she wants. There isn’t any better example of a gendered thing than when one genser seems to always be the one doing it.
