Toilet Seats

At great personal risk, I must stand up to the ridiculous notion that men are somehow responsible for the position of toilet seats.  Happily, for once the Curmudgeon Handbook comes to our aid here: we hold doors open for people, we're OK with "ladies first," but put a toilet seat down every time you're done?  I don't think so.  

I grew up when women were expressing a desire to be "equals."  If I could hang on to a few notions of chivalry during those trying times, fine.  But where did this men are supposed to put toilet seats down when done thing come from?  It's pretty much a 50-50 shot for anyone in a 2-person household that the seat will be in the correct position when either of you enters, so what's all the fuss?  Either I have to move it or the other person has to, so why complicate things with an arbitrary rule?

Men of the world unite - We do doors, not toilet seats!
