At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

Party speakers cited medical research they said shows men empty their bladders more efficiently while seated. Improved bladder evacuation reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party. It also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, it said.
Stop stand-up urination for men, Swedish politicians urge - Your Community

Leftists know what's good for us.

I don't spend hours worrying about what Swedish politicians suggest. Time waster. Besides, I have a sit down toilet in my own home, so who am I to judge

They need to tell women to stop hovering then, LOL.

Men have peed standing up since humans have stood up on two feet. Now they say it is unhealthy. Plus, if men sat down their penis would get wet. Are you sure these are men talking about this or just wacky females that want men to be just like women. Sweden is like that.

What makes you think they're leftists?

Really, I just get the vibes that Sweden is such an uneventful country that their politicians don't have better things to suggest.

Wouldn't the first preclude the ability to determine the second?
