It’s a sort of jokey article about how men piss that ends with a plea for men to consider alternatives to murder.
Bernard Manning would be proud.
If this were at all well intentioned, would it not have made a modicum of sense to include references to relevant male related organisations, Male Health Forum Ireland et al, as well as the important female one? I reckon passive aggressive, reductive opinion articles are a simple fact of the genre, but the Irish Times seems to be trying to ensure they define the the genre. Quality journalism from the nation’s broadsheet.
Joke of an article, all too common from the IT recently.
Been doing this for years. Now Ive to stand up again just because its in fashion now.
I do it sometimes as a treat
I 61m told my drinking buddies I quite enjoyed sitting down for a piss, well I’m not joking the amount of abuse and slagging I got was unmerciful, doesn’t bother me because at my age any thing I can do sitting down Is an improvement, anyway the main protagonist Paddy 61m
(that’s really his name) and a paramedic taboot that very night got up for his usual 4am piss keeled over banged his head on the sink ended up in St.vincents hospital, with a doc.berateing him for having the stupidity to stand up pissing at his age.apparentley your blood pressure drops massively.not a peep out of him since.
Is it just me but as a man I feel I can empty my bladder better by pissing standing up.
I always sit down to urinate at home, 100% of the time.
Bit different when I’m out because pub jacks are horrible, but if it’s a well maintained restaurant toilet or something, I’m also sitting down there.
Stunning and brave article from the powerhouse of Truth
IT is the next incarnation of BuzzFeed
Hardly surprising when the author is a known misandrist.
If a man wrote a similar article about women you’d be taken out the back and shot.
Could you imagine if they came out with a similar article about women being poor drivers, spending too much money and never shutting up how quickly they’d be pulling it down and apologizing profusely? God I really hate how acceptable it’s become to just shit on men for no reason.

As a member of the man’s council for manliness, I can tell you we have not ratified this, and therefore it is not official
In summary: ‘Hilarious’ [article](https://www.irishtimes.com/life-style/people/2023/02/21/now-its-okay-for-men-to-pee-sitting-down-here-are-a-few-other-changes-they-could-make/) says men should sit down to piss, and also go to the doctor more, and we should look in “more than 3 places for things” and not bother women who presumably never lose things and *we are all murderers.*
