Why do men think they can just piss anywhere?

Do women with severe pelvic floor issues pee everywhere? No. They wear incontinence pads and modify where and how they go about their business to avoid getting caught out. Men with prostate issues can do the same.

I drove past a mum assisting her young DS having a wee against a bush next to a bus stop the other week. Guessing he'll grow up thinking it's ok.

Lots of men have prostrate problems that cause pressure on the bladder, my dad has this and it is very distressing for him as he cannot hold on.

Someone was asking for examples of male privilege earlier. This is a good one.

The male attitude is "I need to pee, so I'm going to do it. It's perfectly normal, everyone needs to pee, all the public toilets have been closed, I am not hurrying home with crossed legs just in case a stranger thinks I'm disgusting."

On the other hand, if you saw a woman having a pee up an alley you’d possibly assume she had substance abuse issues.

I looked out my kitchen window once to find a neighbour walking along the path whilst having a wee, broad daylight, willy on full display. That was a shocker. Even MIL didn't know what to say, but I'm kind of glad she was there to witness because otherwise no one would have believed me.

Maybe they just do because they can. I confess to having had a wee off my balcony (private, in the dark, and into my own garden) when I first got my hands on a she-wee, but it wasn't just that once and I've never felt the urge to whip it out in public.

This drives me insane. Did a trip to Bruges recently. They have those public urinals where men stand behind a screen but you can see their legs. I had a massive rant about men being treated as toddlers who are incapable of thinking ahead or controlling themselves. This was in an area with masses of bars so plenty of available private toilets.

So bloody rude!

I mean.... if you desperately need to go and nobody's around, maybe it's OK to have a discreet leak behind a bush or whatever. But some blokes think nothing of whipping it out and pissing away in full view of whoever is unfortunate enough to be passing by. If women can manage to hold it in until they get to the nearest toilet, then so can they.

I don't like it. I would have to be really desperate. I also don't like people letting their dogs pee in the street either though.

I used to live above a branch of a high street bank. There was an alley down the side of the bank, with cash points near the street and my front door further down the alley. There were numerous bars and restaurants nearby. The number of times I’d walk home and find a man with his penis out peeing all over the alley was pretty gobsmacking. Never a woman, despite us generally having less places to pee.

I agree, it’s so entitled.

Also, I despise men who spit on the street.
