Do women waste more toilet paper than men?
I live in a shared house, and I have been sharing a bathroom with various
females for many years. The problem is that my female housemates
seem to waste a lot of toilet paper. I wake up in the morning to the
roll going rrrttt-rrrttt-rrrttt-rrrttt-rrrtttt, five times! And we are using
up paper like it is going out of style. A lot of it is turned into little
balls that rapidly fill the waste basket. But most paper is used to "gift
wrap" sanitary mapkins and tampons. What a waste!
I imagine that there is fertile ground for a psychologist.
I also imagine that I will get flamed for this.

> I imagine that there is fertile ground for a psychologist. Indeed, though I suspect a psychologist would be more interested in your apparent fascination for this subject. The last time I heard this discussed it ended up with a counter- accusation: how can men avoid wetting themselves, considering how poorly they aim? If you've ever cleaned a bathroom you'll know what I mean. Yeeeccchhh... > Bernd -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall

You obviously have no sense of the female anatomy. Ever noticed that women have to sit down to go to the bathroom? Ever wonder why? Ever wonder what a drag it is to have to even bother changing tampons every few hours? nope, didn't think so. Tell you what: why don't you complain to your female housemates? Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll kick you out. marie desjardins P.S. Sorry for the flame, I've never thought the female anatomy was exactly fair (if I ever run into God, I'll ask her what on earth she was thinking of...). I think maybe you should think more about the situation your female housemates are in and less about something STUPID like toilet paper.

But most paper is used to "gift > wrap" sanitary mapkins and tampons. What a waste! Geesh!!! you are so right!! How dare they squander your hard-earned money with such abandon! besides, anybody who bleeds like that deserves the most severe of punishments. I say: "cut their uteruses out!!!!" Ah, women are so spoiled these days! we should really go back to the good old days when they'd get buried in the sand to their neck during "those days"! It saved a lot of money on toilet paper AND sanitary napkins too. Kept them out of trouble too! But, hey, you have a real problem on your hands, so here are some constructive solutions that should solve your problem: a/ set up a separate budget for toilet paper b/ suggest that they go back to using cloth sanitary napkins that you will wash for them. If the problem is not about money, but about waste, then I suggest you either a/ recycle your newspapers or b/ eat their sanitary napkins. > I imagine that there is fertile ground for a psychologist. Yes, a psychologist would have fun analysing you. > I also imagine that I will get flamed for this. Flamed? nah.... the topic's not even worth it. Besides, you were too obviously asking for it.

So when is someone going to start an aromatic discussion other aspects
of using a bathroom. God! I'm beginning to feel sick already.
I suggest that net.flame should also use ROT13 if flames are likely
to be offensive due to their contents or language used.
I donot question right of anybody to post whatever they want in net.flame
but feel that ROT13 be used if the language or the contents justify it.

Just because someone did something you didn't like, you make the sweeping statement that all men who urinate standing up are "disgusting" and that it is an issue of manlihood that they do so. The not-so-ugly truth is, it is more convenient to urinate standing up. If you don't believe me, just ask your nearest disgusting stud to demonstrate. Believe it or not, there are quite a few men who really don't give a shit whether they are manly or not.

I did not say that "all men" who urinate standing up are disgusting, just that men who insist on urinating standing up even though they are making a mess are disgusting, and they are unless they clean up after themselves. Some people are fortunate enough to be able to aim and not make a mess. Those who aren't should sit down or clean up after themselves, that's all. After all, we women all gift-wrap our sanitary napkins, with an inordinate amount of toilet paper, don't we (don't forget the topic of this discussion was stereotypes), so why don't you guys get even with us and waste just as much toilet paper wiping after yourselves instead of looking in amazement at the drops of ... jumping from the toilet onto the seat.

Yes, it is easier for men to do it standing up. And, incidentally, that's why they put flies in our pants (no pun intended). Why should we go through the trouble of opening our trousers, dropping them and our shorts to urinate. What should also be customary, however, is the installation of urinals in all bathroom, commercial and residential. That way nobody would have anything to complain about. As far as women using paper to *gift wrap* their sanitary napkins, why don't the makers of these things include convenient little bags to dispose of them in? Like the above, doesn't this must make sense? There are also things far worse than the consumption of toilet paper by women, required by the unfortunate state of affairs that women endure. My pet peeve is probably plastic disposable tampon applicators. These little nasties inevitably get flushed down toilets and end up on South Shore beaches. Disgusting! These things should be outlawed. I have nothing against women or their biological functioning, but what's wrong with paper applicators that disintegrate? Brian Day UUCP: philabs!vip

Well, to tie this in to another major discussion on the group - that of sexist language - most men stand up because that's how their fathers did it.

Perhaps as an bit of enlightenment. the personality types responding to
the discussion dont always have an open mind.
I just wish people would sign there messages.
this one is perhaps one of the better answers received here - I would
like to enroll in a good sex eduation course ie a course designed to
enlighten me on the operation of the mind of the opposite sex
i think it would be interesting to find out how to open one up
(figurativeley that is (;-)><={|
to the notion that sarcasm is a tool for communicating - - in this
case the thought that males generally (i said generally durn it)
have an over-inflated concept of the value of the male sex organ
(penis for those who prefer plain talk)

I think a lot of women would be offended if men made jokes about their (women's) anatomy. I think the situation is rather like ethnic jokes. People of one particular group may make jokes about themselves, but resent it when others who are not part of that group make the same joke. This also applies to making jokes about oneself. Many people poke fun at themselves but take offense when others poke fun at them. Sarah E. Dugan (no clever lines) -- Sarah E. Dugan (no clever lines)

Look here, if you are going to start another discussion on sexist language,
I am just going to subject you to an extended metrical analysis of all the
POETRY throughout the centuries that has been CORRUPTED by you people who
insist of changing every "man" in every poem written to a "person" and then
fixing the meter (or not) by chopping off the last word on every verse and
sticking it somewhere in the middle of the next one. I wish the poets were
alive to day so they could sue you for tampering with their poetry without
their consent!

Okay, I can't take it anymore. I don't remember who started the original posting so I'm sending this the the general public. I've been sitting back reading all the responses to the original poster's problem of his female roomates using up all the toilet paper. And it seems it really has gotten out of hand. Is it really such a problem? My experiences are that at times I will use a minute amount of toilet paper; then when I'm in one of my crazy moods, for no apparent reason I'll use a lot!! :) Seriously, I don't feel this is such a major problem (say as the rape issue), but I think I came up with a solution. How about if all us net.readers donate a roll of toilet paper to the original poster (I'm sure he'll step forward again). This will keep him happy for a while. And could we end the debate of pissing while: sitting, standing, laying down, standing backwards, standing on your head, etc. Barbara

Now you have a change of face. Now you claim that you are kidding. Why? Perhaps you know when you are beaten and can't logically argue your way out of it, so you claim you were kidding. As for the original discussion being insulting to women, "two wrongs don't make it right".

One woman, infinitely tired of her male friend's sexist remarks to the effect that there was nothing that women could do better than men, suggested a little contest. Said she: "Ok, let's see who can piss and leave the highest mark on yonder wall." He: "HA! No problem, you go first." So the woman drops her pants, goes up to the wall, and when she returns there's a wet spot starting about genital height. Her friend looks at it and says "No problem," as he walks over to the wall, drops his pants, and grabs his penis. To which the woman replies, "Ah-ah! No hands!"

While I agree about Scott's personality (disgusting), it is technically
possible for a woman to be both a) slut (sexually promiscuous) and
b) frigid (unable to orgasm). I know several.
Also, it is his type of article (ie. ridiculous) that makes this
newsgroup so funny to read.
Then again, I just may be weird.

I was going to resist participating in this one, but last night I attended
a performance of "Die Goetterdaemmerung" at the SF Opera House. The
performance began at 6:30, and the first intermission wasn't until 8:30.
At that time I went thru the coffee-then-rest-room routine. The main men's
room has 16 urinals and 6 toilets, and the line was out the door. I was
done in less than 5 minutes.
I don't know the details of the women's facilities, but the intermission
was extended to 35 minutes--10 minutes longer than usual.
Even for a normal opera--about an hour between intermissions--getting to
the women's room and back in 25 minutes is generally a challenge for my
wife.
**********
About a month or so ago, we attended a performance of the Bay Area Women's
Philharmonic, which was held at a Masonic Temple in San Francisco. At
that performance, the men's and women's rooms were interchanged, and the
men got to use a facility with no urinals and four toilets. I'm not sure
what sort of facility the women got, or what they did with the urinals.
**********
I don't know the point of this.

Turner I did not see the original posting of this but I have received much mail essentially saying that Mr. Turner is out of line. I would like to reply to Mr. Turner here. Please excuse me. Dear Scott, It would seem that you have some deep dislike for yourself which is now and has been for some time frustrating your efforts towards copoing with the real world. For this you have my sympathy. Originally I had a rather flamable reply all composed for you but before I sent it I re-read your posting and discovered that what I was reading was a classic example of someone crying for help. I believe that even the "Son of Sam" appealed for help in his own way. I can speak for Sophie of course but for me I would like the people on the net who read our original message, perhaps even some who have read it wuoted also, to do all they can to help you out of your troubles. I would myself but at this point in time your frustration and anger are directed at me and I would not be able to communicate with you well enough to be of help to you. When you have your problems better in hand I would welcome hearing anything you had to say but for now I cant see how you can contribute anything of any real value because something inside you has made the path from your brain to your keyboard take a detour through some hidden cranny of your mind.
