My theory has always been that the since the toilet seat needs to be down the majority of the time anyway, men living with 1+ women in their house should put it down. It's not a feminism thing, it's a practicality thing.
Think about it. If my boyfriend and I share a bathroom, he gets 50% toilet use and I get 50% toilet use. I need it down all the time (full 50% of its use), he needs it down at least 25% of the time (so 12.5% of use). That means at least 63% of the time, the seat needs to be down in a household with one guy, one girl. Therefore, put the seat down when you're done.
If you're a chick living with 2 or 3 guys, well, sorry, but majority rules and you're probably going to have to put the seat down a lot...
I think people should just move the toilet seat to how they need it. It's up to the individual to make sure the seat is situated properly for their needs. I get so annoyed when women complain about "falling in the toilet" because, I mean, it takes literally two seconds to look and make sure it's down before sitting. That's not the man's fault, it's the woman's own stupidity that caused her to fall in the toilet...
I have a brother and if I notice he left the toilet seat up, I just put it down and continue on with my business. Most men have to put the seat up every time they need it so I don't see why a lot of women complain about having to put it down sometimes.
No, I don't care if they put the seat down, but I do care if they piss all over it.
Leaving it up is NBD, and I really don't care if they do it because it requires no effort to put it down. Pissing all over it is not only disgusting, but then I have to take the time to clean it before I can go to the bathroom.
There is a statistical answer which says that men have to out number women for it to be that the seat goes up without being more of a hassle. The fact women get funny about it is their problem and they should accept they are going to wash their hands after anyway so touching it doesn't make a difference. It's just as easy to put down as it is to put up.
Personally I put the seat and lid down after use. Better for hygiene, better for aesthetics, better at stopping smells and most of all both genders need to do something but also prevents men pissing over everything so much as they are forced to pay attention.
I don't get it... it's just a toilet seat... it shouldn't matter who puts it down or up? Just switch it to suit your needs.
Even though I'm the only one using the toilet at home, I personally leave it down, along with the lid, for hygienic reasons, especially when it comes to flushing. I don't want dirty water splashing out of the toilet bowl.

Depends on the number of females and males in the given household. If there are more males than females in the household, then it makes no sense to put it down each time, considering there is a higher chance of males using the restroom, therefore the overall number of times the toilet seat's position needs to be altered is lower.
I personally close down both the lid and the cover each time I'm done. Use the toilet as you wish, the circumstances I create for you are equal. :P
never bothered me. its the same thing as opening and closing the lid. they dont have to do anything. but you may as well just take off the whole seat so no one has to touch it anymore. i can always squat and pee.
if you left it down and peed on the seat, i will pee on the seat and leave poop unflushed just to spite you.
Oh my friggin' GOD! I don't see what's the big deal about it! If its not in a position suitable for a particular gender, then its not rocket science for him/her to put it that way. And it doesn't require much of an effort. Its a no-brainer really! If women (or men) are so worried about 'touching' it, they should have enough common sense to know that they can just wash their hands with soap and water soon after.
Everyone should put the toilet seat down, lid included. It's more hygienic when the lid is closed. don't know why that's so hard to understand?
toilet seat and lid should be kept closed. and if touching your toilet makes you feel uncomfortable (and you don't have OCD), it isn't being cleaned well/often enough
u I grew up in a house with 5 guys in it, so it just became a habit of mine to put the seat down whenever I go to the washroom. I don't really care. I'm not putting it back up for them though, lol.
If anyone is going for that argument, it is ridiculous. Someone will have to put it down or back up anyway. WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS. Keeping it down gives those uncivilized lunatics to stand and pee with the seat down and then u complain the seat is unusable.
How about everybody puts it all the way down, lid included? Fairness for all.
Who gave you birth?
A woman
Did you put the toilet seat up? Yes. YOU put it down then.
Why? Because a woman took enough pain for 9 months. You can take 2 seconds every day to put it down. This way you return 9 months of service in your whole lifetime if each time you put it up and down yourself.
And of you pee on it... *goes and wears the strap on*
Shut up and do it otherwise get out of my house.
if you fall into the toilet, its your fault. I've fallen into the toilet when I was young. not my fault they make the seat the same colour as the bowl.
The perennial toilet seat issues is a shining example of female entitlement mentality and hypocrisy. Women think they have a right to not touch the toilet seat because it's dirty, so they believe men should have to do all the touching. What makes women think they are so special? How about EVERYONE move the seat however the fuck they want it?
Lid and the seat. Just like I do. Otherwise my cat and dog drink toilet water and so bacteria doesn't fly everywhere when you flush. It's not difficult.
if a guy puts it up, well then he's not gonna pee all over it..
so he's actually thinking of her,
if she puts it down, well then she's not gonna fall in.. lol
and its not all pissed on.. see everyone's happy (:
If I squat and pee all over the the seat should I wipe it after?
I never really cared... If the seat is up, at least there won't be any pee on the seats and I won't have to clean it up.. I'm pro putting the seats up... It's not that hard to put it back down...
I don't care. If it's up, just put it down yourself. It's really not a big deal.
Here's the deal, if I were the sex to pee standing up, I'd do you that solid and just out the kid down
I put the toilet seat down along with the lid. Wife gets mad. I tell her if i gotta lift the lid to go, so does she.
I think whoever is using it should have the personal responsibility to make sure it goes into whatever position they needs to use it.. Is it really so difficult to ask for people to have some personal responsibility? This goes for men AND women.
You should put the toilet seat down because everyone poops with it in that default position.
