Adrian Riskin 🇵🇸🍉<p>Here's an entire article from the Guardian on how men piss at home and whether or not it's "natural" for them to stand or sit. It goes through health reasons -- apparently stand-pissing causes piss-mist to settle in toothbrushes and sitting is better for men's backs.. It goes through evolutionary reasons -- apparently scent-marking is unrelated to stand-pissing. </p><p>The whole thing is pros and cons of stand-pissing from the POV of various "experts" and also men talking about their personal prefs. They have physiologists arguing over which position is healthier for men, they have physicists measuring coefficients of splashiness, they have lawyers discussing men's legal right to stand-piss, and so on. They have been saying "I like it!!!" It's a triumph of journalistic both-sides neutrality.</p><p>And yet never once do they mention the most important issue, which is who cleans the fucking bathroom? Men who are physically able to clean their own toilets but don't and still insist on stand-pissing are making a complex and antisocial choice that's not even mentioned here, not discussed at all, not even to be superficially dismissed. They slso don't ask any women for their opinions about how men piss at home. </p><p>I sit-piss now mainly because I clean my own bathroom, but I would even if I didn't. Somebody has to clean it and why would anyone create unnecessary work for someone when it can be avoided with zero effort? my wife usually cleans the living room and I don't gratuitously mess that up just because I don't clean it. How psycho would that be? None of the pissers interviewed share the reasons for their choice of pissing-mode, but the work involved in cleaning must be a factor in many cases. </p><p>One effect of framing this as a question of competing expert opinions rather than of communal household organization organization is to erase labor from the discussion completely. This supports capital's empire by reinforcing the idea that labor is a fungible commodity rather than a gift of love, a communal contribution, anything but a tool of capital accumulation. Another effect is to reinforce the idea that experts know more about household labor than the people who run the fucking houses.
