Brilliant. Does that mean women can now pee standing up beside trees, on the side of the motorway, and just about anywhere in temple bar?

I wrote about these types of devices before. I don’t know of any woman who would use them, and I can’t understand why that’s the case.

I remember having a discussion with a female colleague many years ago. It was one of those mornings by the coffee machine where a few of us were experiencing the high that sometimes follows a mild hangover. Anyway, toiletry came up, and my colleague said she cannot imagine how men just stand beside each other at a urinal and whip out their manhood. Surely she suggested, the odd eyeball flicks to the side to check out the extent of the adjacent weaponry. And indeed, ahem, it often does. You rarely see more than a hand with the fingers spread and occasionally perhaps, if the eye doesn’t flick away too quick in shame, a suggestion of manhood. But my colleague was intrigued: “so you stand in there beside your boss and pull out your dick?” she laughed incredulously. “Aye”. “And do you talk?” she inquired. “Sometimes”. “What about?”. “mmm, not our dicks anyway”.
But men, especially the well-equiped boastful types, are not shy about exposing their trick sticks (from the Irish – ‘crann clis’) to anyone – male or female. I knew, but I emphasis was not an aquaintance of, a male colleague who had a ring in his stick. When he was sober he would tell everyone about it and when he was drunk he would insist on furnishing the exhibit.
I can’t imagine women doing any of this? ? !? !

Ah, Sarah!
The “she-pee” has been around for ages!! Longingly considered at big concerts, no-one I know has gone all the way so far. I’ll keep an eye out though.

BTW I always reckoned that women who wanted to be in the army had sone deep rooted subconscious penis envy thing going on and they somehow wanted to be or play at being men? The key word being.,subconscious. After all when a man takes a pee he is in control of so much! he can even create art with his peeing control the direction, project and many other things, Whereas the female must merely squat and let it all out.
So really this new device is actually a political statement as much as anything else?
A Feminazi cry for equality and parity of esteem? Under the guise of health concerns etc etc Reminds me of the great bit from the life of brian
============================================
What?
STAN:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me ‘Loretta’.
REG:
What?!
LORETTA:
It’s my right as a man.
JUDITH:
Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA:
I want to have babies.
REG:
You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:
It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
REG:
But… you can’t have babies.
LORETTA:
Don’t you oppress me.
REG:
I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA:
[crying]
JUDITH:
Here! I– I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG:
What’s the point?
FRANCIS:
What?
REG:
What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!
FRANCIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
