This is probably a hoax. It is funny though, so have fun!


Juniata College: Urinals Gone; Men Must Sit to Pee
Posted on December 27, 2015   

Juniata College, a small liberal arts college nestled in the hills of south-central Pennsylvania, has become the first college in the United States to order the removal of every urinal from campus.  The vote by the college Board of Trustees was unanimous.  The change was in response to an intense years-long campaign by a little-known, militant feminist group called Chicks Against Dicks (CAD).  The group employed numerous tactics including petitions, lawsuits, and the occasional smashing of functioning campus urinals.  Juniata President James A. Troha, androgynous but not transgender, was giddy over the vote.  In remarks delivered breathelessly, Troha said, “Urinals are an insult to women everywhere.  We will not rest until every urinal on the planet is destroyed or removed.  I would especially like to thank CAD President Soren Cavendish whose ceaseless efforts carried the day.  Because of her efforts, urinals will soon be relegated to museums and socially backward institutions.”

Aside from the obvious political infractions associated with urinals and standing to pee, Roy Nagle, Juniata Director of Environmental Hygiene, cited numerous threats to public health by standing to pee.  “When men stand to pee,” Nagle said, “they are oblivious to the fact that they are depositing drops of urine, biological microagressions,  which may infect anyone within a determined range.  One drop of men’s urine contains one billion toxic microbes.   Women’s urine, by contrast, contains no toxic microbes.  Not all, but many women also find the smell of male urine offensive.  Urinal cakes, even jasmine, are only so effective.”

Signicantly, the vote requires, after the removal of the urinals, another vote which would require all males on campus to sit down to urinate.  CAD President Cavendish reserved her harshest remarks for the centuries-old practice of men standing to pee.  According to Cavendish, “There is nothing more painful to a woman, even more than cat calls or whistling, than the thought of a man standing to pee. It is repulsive and repugnant.  No one should be allowed to stand to pee.  It is an anatomically-endowed privilege.  We will not stop until this odious practice is relegated to the trash cans of history.”   

To enforce the new restroom codes, men’s room volunteers would issue citations to men caught in the act of standing to pee.  First offenders would be required to attend urination reform classes, in which men would taught how to sit to pee.  Secondly offenders would suffer the loss of meal swipes.

This is from The Onion, right?

Please tell me this is satire.

Nothing in the actual news, on the college's FB page. Also - the place is shut for Christmas, so I doubt there was a meeting.

It's BS. A little over-egged, the "breathlessly" certainly gives it away, but good.

At the university where I teach there has been a ceaseless and relentless drive to convert all restrooms to "gender neutral."   The rationale, however, is not because men stand up to pee.  It is because some students are transgender and confused about their sexual identities.  Restrooms marked "Male" and "Female" are therefore offensive and discriminatory.

I wish I could say this is a joke.  But it is not.

Yes, but apparently leaving the seat up is now considered a "micro-aggression".

What if a man sits down to pee in a gender neutral bathroom but writes his ex-girlfriend's phone number on the wall?

Chicks Against Dicks? Okay, step up boys, this is central Pennsylvania. Where are the Minahs Against Vaginas?  :bolt: sorry, folks. It hurt just as much in the telling as it did in the reading.

Should sharia take over here we can be certain these snowflake millineals will be in gender appropriate bathrooms. No trans BS. I find it almost funny that the ones who want this kind of gender neutral cr5p also support muzzies. Will they be surprised when they find themselves being tossed off highrise buildings?

Well, on the bright side, should the Muslims take over the LGBT people will not have to worry about which bathroom they can use.

Trust me. It will no longer be an issue.

I'm no psychologist, but I think that's known as "passive-aggressive behavior".

This one is not a joke.

"WA Human Rights Commission: All businesses must let men in women’s bathroom"

"If a man says he is a woman and walks into the women’s restroom, it is illegal for a business owner to intervene.  That is the result of a new rule created by the Washington State Human Rights Commission that went into effect on December 26th.

This first-of-its-kind, statewide law is part of the recent push to frame gender-segregated bathrooms as an affront to “equality”. So far, the public hasn’t been buying it.

[snip]

This issue has been heating up in Washington for a while now.  School boards throughout Washington State have been wrestling with it.  The YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap County recently made headlines when they created a policy allowing transgender men to use the women’s locker room under any and all circumstances.

However, this is the first statewide mandate that forces businesses to cooperate with a customer’s confusion about his or her gender.

In 2012, a 45 year-old student at Evergreen State College who identified as female despite being anatomically male, undressed in the women’s locker room while girls from nearby Olympia High School and a local swim club were changing.  Evergreen chose to do nothing to protect the privacy of the girls but offered them a private accommodation if they wished not to dress in the presence of a naked man.

This new rule mandates that outcome in all cases."
